There is a chronological order of the Minor arcana as laid out by A.E. Waite, and the Golden Dawn. Since Waite’s occult journey stared with the order of the Golden dawn, these sequences are fairly identical. The only difference being in the Major Arcana, where 2 cards are actually swapped.
Below is that minor arcana sequence. Each part of the table below offers different perspectives on how the cards can be viewed. If you become familiar with each of the aspects, it will certainly provide deep insight into how the tarot cards resonate.
Imagine each aspect of the chart as a feeling— with the timing portion imagine how it feels during the time of the year. For the yes/or no imagine the card as a positive or negative connotation as a result. It creates a new interesting way to access your intuition and thus pull definitions from your soul rather than any one else’s determined divination of the cards.
The Minor Arcana Sequence
The Minor Arcana sequence starts with the wands. Then it is followed by cups, swords and pentacles.
