Elements & Astrological Correspondences

Every card carries an elemental and astrological signature. The Majors map onto planets and zodiac signs; the Minors inherit the element of their suit. Reading these correspondences lets you hear what the cards are saying without needing to memorise every keyword.

When two cards share an element they intensify each other rather than blend. When they conflict — Fire next to Water, Air next to Earth — the reading asks you to honour both currents, not choose between them.

Notice which element is loudest in a spread. That is usually the element your current situation is over-relying on, or starving of.
