Four Suits Pips and Crown Cards

Four Basic Fields of Life

From batons to clubs, cups to hearts, coins to diamonds and swords to spades, the French set the standard design of suits as we know them today: Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds and Spades.

The meaning of the suits categorizes the four main areas of life: Emotional, Mental, Material, and Physical. The four categories are divided into subcategories to include every aspect of life.

Each suit describes the terrain of life your soul is traversing in it's karmic vehicle of personality. It is the area of life that needs your attention. It represents the area of life most vulnerable to the law of cause and effect, while the card is in play.

The Pips

Pips are the spots on the Cards, also known as their "numeric value". Similar to Numerology, each value has a special meaning which is further modified by its SUIT and PLANETARY INFLUENCE

ACE

The Beginning "I AM". The Ace ranks supreme importance as it is the ego and we call it the ACE. The Ace is the card of DESIRE. It is the WISH card, the HOPE and the I WANT. If we can turn our desire for self into a desire for ALL, the Ace may be called the card of the ALTRUIST.

TWO

The number TWO seeks UNION as two halves will always make a better whole. The 2 is also known as the FEAR card because we are afraid to COOPERATE lest we give away our oneness, our ACE in the hole. The Deuce represents contracts, meetings and PARTNERSHIPS.

THREE

From the unity of the 2 comes the CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES of the 3. The Three shows us new ways open with new roads to take. Like a fork in the road, we must CHOOSE which path to take. Negatively speaking, the 3 symbolizes UNCERTAINTY and confusion. Positively speaking, the 3 symbolizes CREATIVITY, entertainment and RIGHT CHOICE. We must be OPTIMISTIC and above all, have FAITH.

FOUR

The opportunities of the 3 bring the need for STRUCTURE and SERVICE as symbolized by the number 4. Four is a base number and is considered the number of luck and GOOD fortune. Sometimes, we can feel too lucky with this number and we wind up feeling smug, COMPLACENT or STUBBORN. Positively expressed, 4s symbolize SATISFACTION. Negatively expressed, 4s are LAZY and bored!

FIVE

From the stability of the 4 comes the RESTLESSNESS of the 5. Fives symbolize CHANGE. Life is change: Creation, Preservation, and Dissolution. As well, the middle point of anything is the point of change as either which way, nothing will ever stay the same. The number 5 is that middle point. 5 symbolizes FLUCTUATIONS, travel and variety; a FICKLE heart or a fickle mind. A NEW EXPERIENCE is most definitely desired!

SIX

From the changes of the 5 comes the need to ADJUST to the value of 6. Exhausted from all that change and restlessness, Sixes don't like to move forward. The PAST needs to be re-evaluated and reflected upon. We need to stop, look and listen. Sixes bring us people from our past, feelings, thoughts and health issues we may need to deal with not later, but now. DEBTS repaid or entered into. Sixes are karmic - the result of past actions or the SOWING OF SEEDS to come. For good or for worse, things REMAIN THE SAME.

SEVEN

From the reflections and inertia of the 6 comes the STRESS and WORRY of the 7. Sevens have a tendency to covet. 7s are known to bring us worry because of JEALOUSY or stress or gossip. In extreme cases, sevens can bring violence. We need to let go of our expectations and figure out how to get around the OBSTACLE instead of trying to plow right through it. Thus, the positive 7 symbolizes VICTORY. Rise above!

EIGHT

From the victory of the 7 comes the POWER of the 8. Eights are a strong number and seek CONTROL. Eights are the number of will, strength and FORCE. They can be BOSSY and must be handled with care! The number 8 is the number of work and GAINS that are made because of that work. In its positive state, the vibration of the 8 will get us back to where we want to be. It has RESTORATIVE powers. In its negative state, the vibration of the 8 will attempt to CONQUER and destroy.

NINE

From the power of the 8 we are asked to submit and SURRENDER to the number 9. Have you ever wondered where the expression, the nth degree comes from? Nines symbolize the FINAL POINT and the need to LET GO. And if you don't let go, it's taken from you anyway. Nine is the number of PREPAREDNESS. Its value is in seeing the BIGGER PICTURE. The number 9 brings ENDINGS, dislikes, disagreements and DISAPPOINTMENT. Shore up your reserves, think in Universal terms and embrace something much bigger than yourself. Surrender to the 9! As one door closes, another will open. The positive 9 symbolizes NEW BEGINNINGS.

TEN

The last number - the biggest number - the sum total. This is the number of SUCCESS, the number of ACHIEVEMENT and the number of ILLUMINATION. 10s are usually a wonderful number and a sight for sore eyes. However, it is also a big number! You must focus and harness its energy, or the energy dissipates, and nothing gets done. The 10 can also reduce itself to the number 1. (1+0=1) When this happens, the INFLATED EGO of the 10 creates a false sense of security and we end up tripping over our own personal PRIDE.

Crown Cards alert you to the influence of a person in your life, identified by the qualities of the Crown Card that’s in play. These special cards also alert you to messages or lessons to learn from your guides, your celestial teachers, or higher beings. Moreover, you personally can “wear the crown” and take on the emotional or mental characteristics of the crown card - or not - depending on whether their attributes will help or hinder your intentions.
