"It is with astrology that we had recourse on the basis of the following principle: since the 22 major cards represent causes, the minor cards must represent effects. It is allowed that the causes are essential and that they belong to the system of the Universe. We will perceive these causes only if they appear in the form of effects which can fall under control from our directions and in a concrete plan. However, this plan, it is [of] the Earth. . . . The major mode becomes minor. . . . In short, card VIII [Justice] evokes any universal idea of balance; while the swords will provide us a complement to the principle of Justice like: lawsuit, crimes, judgements, magistrates, etc."
"The Coins will qualify for money and only the money; sceptres, the action; cups, the armor [love], and swords, resistance, the fight. The numeral value provides a coefficient of intensity and fate. The number is strong or weak; beneficial or malefic. We drew up relationship between the significance of the numbers of the first 10 major cards and the first 10 minor cards of each group. Moreover, we preserved at each number its cabalistic value. The note of fate was given to us by the beneficial or malefic character of the elements and the signs. The signs of fire and air will be regarded as beneficial and the ground and water signs like malefic. The sceptres and the cups will be favorable, while the Coins and the swords will not be it. Thus the beneficial and malefic symbols are opposed two to two. Just as the number can be considered in its good or bad reports/ratios, according to whether it applies to a beneficial or malefic symbol."
