Babylon teaching
The Minor Arcana in a daily reading
The number identifies a station; the suit identifies a World.
Understand the idea
A collective station selects the same number in all four suits: Station 1 selects the four Aces, Station 5 the four Fives, and Station 9 the four Nines. The public reading begins with human experience rather than card terminology. This ten-number, four-suit mapping covers forty numbered cards; court cards are outside this particular selection rule.
An example to work with
Translate the cards into will, feeling, thought, and action before introducing the technical names.
