Tarot by Numbers: Seven, Eight, Nine

Here are more Minor Arcana pip card numerology exercises, this time with a twist! I’ve included the Major Arcana cards, and posed some thought-provoking questions about the cards and their numbers.

These exercises are great for journaling, study, and group work. I’d love to hear your results!

To begin, sort out the Sevens, Eights, and Nines from your Minor Arcana, and the Chariot, Strength and Hermit from your Major Arcana.  Take these fifteen cards and sort them by number.
