I've always found court cards difficult, at best I keep the elemental hierarchy in mind and picture it in terms of growth and maturity, but this is just the barest surface scratch, I know.
I was thinking though....I am anything but a people-person. I really understand people no better (or at least categorize people no better) than I do the court cards in the tarot.
This rule is illustrated by its exception: Whether emphasizing the faults or the blessings, I do identify with the queen of swords and can point out people (usually, though not always women) who also have the same personality features or life experiences....
All the others? After a time I can logic out a meaning.....as I can with people...after a time I can logic out motives and personality associations...but little intuition or automatic empathy exists (learned empathy yes, immediate sense of empathy for people, seldom).
Wondering if other people have a similar experience with both people and court cards....if perhaps there's a correlation between say an introversion associated with a tendency to avoid people and not knowing the cards, versus being of a very social empathic nature and clicking with the court cards right away.
Thoughts?
