16 Court Cards
Learn Court Cards as roles, then add the suit.
You do not need to decide immediately that every Court is a literal person. Start with the role pattern, combine it with the suit, then use the question, imagery, and spread position to decide whether the card describes a person, attitude, approach, or developmental stage.
