Major Arcana identification,
along with some short descriptions to help get you started reading!

The suit cards can be easily identified by the number of their respective suits on the cards. 
 

Wands 1 - 10

Cups 1 - 10

Pentacles 10 - 1

Swords 10 - 1

Each suit card has a moon in one of the four corners of the card. As the cards go through the suit, 1 - 10, the moon moves through its phases, starting at a new moon and the final two cards ending with a lunar and solar eclipse. 

Stars can also be found on each suit card, the number of stars is equivalent to the number of the respective suit card.

Use this chart to help identify the court cards!

The pages always sit on a red and orange hill with a metal hat and have no astral body in their sky.

The knights always stand on a yellow and green hill with their bronze helms and have a star in their sky.

The queens always stand on a blue and purple hill adorning a silver crown while a moon graces their sky.

The kings always stand on a pink and red hill with their crowns of gold as the sun illuminates their sky.
