Ok. Last assignment in this vein and then we play a game (or two) and then we move into spreads.
I want you to think about the 4 suits. Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles. Which, as a whole, is your favorite? And which, as a whole, is your least favorite?
Do not make this decision based on the fact that one of your favorite/least favorite cards is in that suit.
Instead, consider the symbol (wand, cup, sword, pentacle), what it means, the story that the suit more or less tells from ace to ten, and, again, given your favorite deck, the look, coloring, feel that that particular suit.
(1) Clarify to yourself and us why one suit appeals to you and the other does not.
(2) As with the cards, go in the opposite direction--what is the good stuff in your least fave, and the not-so-good stuff in your favorite?
(3) Each suit represents an element. Fire, Water, Air, Earth and their accompanying, human aspect (energy/creativity, emotion/intuition/psychic talents, intelligence/logic/verbal skills, physical exertion/craftmanship). If one suit is your least favorite, that element might be lacking or avoided, by you, in your life. Similiarly, your favorite suit might indicate an over-abundance of that element in your life. Is this the case? If so, why?
(4) We should all strive for a balance of elements if we can. So how can you get more of the "lacking" element in your life (have energy? show more emotion?), while cutting back the "over-abuncance" of the other element in your life (stop being so cold and logical all the time? stop being a workaholic?)?
