The Courts ... most of them anyway. I guess the biggest issue I have is feeling whether or not it relates to an actual person in a reading, or certain traits of a person, or energies or whatever. So many ways they can go.
I would agree that the court cards are difficult to interpret - sometimes they just "click" but more often I have to spend some time pondering them. I also find I'm able to interpret them more easily for other people than I am for myself. The 5 swords can fox me as can the 4, 7 and 9 wands. The last two in particular seem so similar that I struggle with the nuance between them
The two and three of wands. Edited to add, judgment
Judgment, Hierophant, and the Pages and Kings are the ones I really have to pause hard to interpret correctly. Sometimes they're really obvious, other times it's just very 'huh?' Pages seem to reflect Aces, except with a personality attached instead of a purely conceptual statement, but not always (Page Cups, I'm lookin at you). Like 10s, sometimes Kings feel really negative to me, like they add a flavor of '...aaaaand now you're a jerk' to the suit ending.

It took me years to make peace with the court cards; Aleister Crowley's Book of Thoth has been my main resource for a long time now, since it has both practical and psychological interpretations (what Crowley calls "moral characteristics"). The Pages still sometimes throw me a curve-ball.
