Zephyros
Courts are as multi-faceted as real people, with many, many different sides to them. They're probably more complex even than the Majors, because trying to understand them is very much like trying to get to know an actual person. Once you get to know them, though, they're really beautiful and exciting.
For example, the Prince of Cups could have a sharp, witty sense of humor that comes from all that depth and his beautiful mind, but catch him in a bad mood and he'll use that same quality to cut you down fiercely, and would catch you completely off-guard.
All three decans work together to add depth to the character, yet each separate decan shows a different "version" that highlights this or that quality. In the Libran decan, he might use his quick tongue to disarm tense situation while in that of the Sun he might say some kind words disguised as a joke and thus warm everyone's hearts. I don't know this, it's just my own interpretation, but it does demonstrate how a person could have all these different sides to them, with their interaction forming personality.
For a reading you can simplify it... but only to a degree. It still takes a bit of mental gymnastics to work out what a person who's mostly Scorpio with some Libra thrown in is like. Add in the fact that Courts often don't depict actual people... and you're still in a pickle.
