The Minor Arcana of the Tarot is comprised of 4 suits.  They each represent different elements as well as astrological signs, and the various seasons.  This helps the reader to determine time lines, reading focus, as well as individuals that are involved in the situation.  They are the suit of Wands, Pentacles, Cups, and Swords.  Today we will discuss the suit of Wands.
