Exercise 3.2 – Suit Qualities – Clear-cut Examples
Many aspects of daily life reflect the energy of one suit in particular. For each activity below, state the suit and expression you believe fits that activity best, and name a few qualities that support your choice. Going skydiving might be a “Wands-positive” activity because you must be “daring, energetic and confident.” (or a Wands-negative activity because it is “foolhardy and reckless!)” You can check my suggestions, if you wish.
