The Minor Arcana Cards

Represent cyclical and recurring events and aspects of everyday life, such as relationships, feelings, work, and material possessions.


Each Minor Arcana Card Has its Own Unique Meaning

And they are interpreted according to the suit, the number, and the symbolism present on the card.


The Minor Arcana provides detailed insights into the daily events of one's life and offers guidance on how to approach and deal with the challenges and opportunities that arise.


The Minor Arcana is divided into four suits - Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Each suit has its own elemental association, and the cards within each suit go from Ace to Ten, followed by four Court Cards: Page, Knight, Queen, and King.


  • The Wands (FIRE) suit represents creativity, adventure, and passion.

  • The Cups (WATER) suit represents emotions, love, and intuition.

  • The Swords (AIR) suit represents thoughts, communication, and power.

"Working with Kate was a truly transformative experience. Her readings helped me navigate some of the most difficult and confusing times in my life and gave me the tools to move forward with confidence and clarity. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for deep, meaningful insights into themselves and their path."

"When I first went to Kate, I was feeling lost and directionless. I wasn't sure what I wanted out of life or how to get there. But after just one session with her, I felt like I had a new sense of purpose and motivation. Her insights gave me the courage to pursue my dreams, and I couldn't be more grateful."

“You’ve literally changed my life. I can’t thank you enough”
