I want to take a  moment to address the order in which I decided to create the cards. It isn't arbitrary, it's numerical.

As you know, I started at zero (The Fool) then went on to the Aces (1's). Next up is The Magician--the ultimate embodiment of the number 1. Then I'll do twos and The High Priestess and onward etc. 

I think it's helpful to look at them this way in order to understand the significance of the numbers and the relationship between the first ten cards of the Major Arcana and the numbered cards of the Minor Arcana.

There is a lot of depth to numerology but here's a quick, simple breakdown of what each number means:

I. A new spark of potential. 

II. Balance, choices, partnerships, plans

III. Expression, expansion, connection, creation

IV. Stability, practicality, restoration, initial fulfillment

V. Instability, conflict, reversal, strife

VI. Harmony, cooperation, comfort, growth

VII. Faith, wisdom, contemplation, intention

VIII. Change, action, renewal, will

IX. Fulfillment, attainment, reflection, clarity

X. Completion and renewal. The end and beginning of a cycle.

After 10 the Major Arcana's numerology becomes more complex and specific so I will talk about those when I get to them.

The court cards have no numerical attribution so I'll be doing them after all the rest.

There's a lot left to do, so I'm going to keep moving forward!
