Get to Know the Court Cards, Part 4
Haven’t you always wanted to know the court cards better?
My goal for Hermit’s Mirror—the whole reason and purpose, really—is to help diviners awaken to their full potential and re-align with their soul purpose.
The first step is providing you, diviners, with flexible tools to make the most of your natural talents. I want to help diviners become more knowledgeable so that you can be more confident and, importantly, precise. And precision comes from your intuition being able to communicate with an expanded vocabulary.
Tarot cards can mean any number of things. They are incredibly, and sometimes maddeningly, flexible. But it’s easy to run along the same pathways and shortcuts reading after reading if you haven’t learned the complex layers of meanings that the cards offer. When you learn those layers, your intuition has more “words” in its proverbial vocabulary with which to communicate. It’s why I teach layered strategies of interpretation in Read Tarot like a Nerd. Not all methods will appeal to you right away (or ever), so it’s good to explore different angles and see what clicks.
To help you do that, I’m exploring the minor arcana through multi-layered deep dives over on Instagram and Tumblr. But so that readers here are not missing out, here is the next batch of Tarot Deep Dives that I’ve created so far. And this is the end of them!
Consider the images below to be my nuanced version of “tarot card meanings.” Each deep dive includes the following aspects of each card: key concepts; number and element; astrology and timing; major influences (based on astrology); meanings in context to help put it all together; and a surprise, which is more surprising sometimes than others.
Part 4 completes the court card sequence (you can find Part 1 here, Part 2 here, and Part 3 here), and it features the following tarot cards (organized by a shared elemental concept—do you know what it is?). Click on the links to go to my overviews for each of a whole suit’s tarot card meanings.

Let me know what you think, what you learned, what I missed, or whatever.
