Elemental Dignities

To understand the elemental relationships between the cards, we should always take into account their actual meaning. The elements of the cards are Air (Magician) and Water (Five of Cups). A major arcana Air card can easily stir the waters and create a muddy situation that will intensify the negative aspects of the Water card, so in this case, the combination of the Magician and the Five of Cups can create a very confusing or difficult situation, that shifts in unexpected ways.
