Eight, Nine, Ten and Page
As we move through the Eights, Nines and Tens we are still learning about the elements and going through the ups and downs with each one. We are growing in our capacity to use them, but we are still making mistakes and maybe our karma is coming in to play a part too. As we grow we have more power, so our blunders have more of an impact compared to the earlier numbers. When we reach the Pages the element is relatively stable as we walk towards our mastery as the King.
Here’s a reminder of the elements associated with each suit:
- Swords – Air – Thought
- Cups – Water – Emotions
- Wands – Fire – Action
- Pentacles – Earth – Physical
Below you will find some key words as a quick reference for each card covered in this session.
