Spanish deck
The Spanish deck has four suits: Coins, Cups, Swords and Clubs. There are 40-card and 48-card versions. This website’s application uses 48 cards, including eights and nines. Its court figures are the Page, Knight and King; there are no Queens or separate Major Arcana.
How it is structured
Each suit in the 48-card deck contains the Ace through Nine and three court cards. Recognise this catalogue before interpreting it. The application selects three different cards upright and relates them to the question. It does not use the scoring rules of a card game.
Useful distinctions
Suits, numbers and court figures can suggest resources, relationships, discernment and action. The question gives those associations context. They do not automatically carry the illustrated scenes of the Rider Minor Arcana, nor turn the reading into a calculation of probabilities.
A practical example
The Ace of Coins, Knight of Clubs and Two of Cups can connect an available resource, the drive to act and a possible agreement. For a shared project, the example asks how means, activity and understanding can support one another. All three cards belong to this deck.
