the cards & our calendar
the connection between a standard deck of playing cards & the modern calendar is no coincidence—these cards hold ancient wisdom that mirrors the cycles of time and life. here's how they align:
52 cards in a deck = 52 weeks in a year
just like the 52 weeks that make up a full year, the deck holds the same number of cards, representing the rhythm and flow of time as we experience it. each card holds its own energy for each week, guiding us through the different phases and experiences that shape our journey.
4 suits = 4 seasons
the four suits—hearts (♥), clubs (♣), diamonds (♦), and spades (♠)—correspond with the four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. each suit carries the energy of its season, with hearts representing the renewal of spring, clubs reflecting the growth of summer, diamonds symbolizing the harvest of fall, and spades representing the introspection and transformation of winter.
12 court cards = 12 months
the kings, queens, and jacks of each suit—known as the court cards—align with the 12 months of the year. these royal figures represent archetypal energies that guide us through the different phases and themes of each month, showing us how to lead and learn throughout the year.
13 suits = 13 full moon cycles
each suit has 13 cards, which correspond with the 13 full moons that occur in a year. the full moon represents a time of culmination, insight, and completion, just like the energies of the 13 cards in each suit. the lunar cycles, like the cards, offer us moments to reflect, grow, and release.
red and black = day and night
the two colors of the deck—red (♥ and ♦) and black (♣ and ♠)—symbolize the balance between day and night, the light and dark forces that exist in nature and in our lives. it’s a reminder that both are necessary for balance and growth.
365 pips (small symbols) = 365 days of the year
if you add up the number of symbols on the number cards, it equals 365, the number of days in a year. this subtle detail ties the cards even more closely to the calendar and reminds us of the continuous cycles we move through each year.
joker(s) = leap year
some decks include one or two jokers, which can be seen as representing the leap year. it’s a reminder that life doesn’t always follow strict patterns—there are always wildcards, unexpected events that come in to shift our reality and shake things up.
