Imparfait vs. Passé Composé
As you may or may not already know, both Imparfait and Passé Composé and are past tenses.
So how do you differentiate between them?
Imparfait is like the background of whatever is happening and Passé Composé is like the specific event that happen in the foreground.
As I already said, Imparfait is like the background of your story. It is used when when giving general information about an event that happened in the past or simply just giving some context.
However, it can also be used when describing activities, states, or habits, e.g.
Il était une fois une princesse.
There was once a princess.
Elle vivait dans un château avec ses parents.
She lived in a castle with her parents.
Elle était toujours sage et ne se promenait jamais seule.
She was always well-behaved and never went for a walk alone.
When to use Passé Composé?
Once again, Passé Composé is is used to describe specific events that happened in the past, but it can also be used when describing activities and events that happened as a one-off or series of events, e.g.
Un jour, ses parents sont sortis et elle a visité le château.
One day, her parent went out and she checked out the castle.
Elle s'est piqué le doigt, a crié, est tombée et s'est endormie.
She pricked her finger, screamed, fell, and fell asleep.
Hello! I hope that this helped you guys understand the difference between Imparfait and Passé Composé a little bit better :)
I plan on doing a "How To Form" on these two sometime in the future however I'm not sure when it'll be posted.

The Court Cards and their astrological representations.
First of all, the Court Cards represent the age or the maturity level of the person they represent in a reading.
Pages - Children or people who are young at heart
Knights - Young adults or people who are starting over
Queens - People with emotional maturity
Kings - People who can provide leadership or are grounded
As you probably know by now, each suit in a tarot deck is represented by a different element:
Pentacles - Earth
Swords - Air
Cups - Water
Wands - Fire
However, every tarot ranks also has an element which corresponds to it:
Pages - Earth
Knights - Fire
Queens - Water
Kings - Air
Therefore, we can see that each court card is ruled by two elements.
Pentacles: Earth / Earth
Swords: Earth / Air
Cups: Earth / Water
Wands: Earth / Fire
Pentacles: Fire / Earth
Swords: Fire / Air
Cups: Fire / Water
Wands: Fire / Fire
Pentacles: Water / Earth
Swords: Water / Air
Cups: Water / Water
Wands: Water / Fire
Pentacles: Air / Earth
Swords: Air / Air
Cups: Air / Water
Wands: Air / Fire
But of course, this is tarot, and we can obviously make this even more complicated by dragging the zodiac signs and their modalities (cardinal, fixed, mutable) into this.
Remember at the beginning of this post how I mentioned that the court cards are associated with different ages and maturity levels? Due to this the Pages are not included when it comes to the modalities and the zodiac overall because they are still seen as too young and immature (and because there are only 12 zodiac signs, not 15, and one of the court card ranks had to go and the Pages were the obvious choice).
So, modalities. What's the deal with them?
- The cardinal signs are the ones which begin seasons, they are the initiators, they are decisive and assertive (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn).

The Suit of Swords and their astrological representations:
If you search up "astrology chart" in google and look at the images, you will notice how most, if not all, of the charts are circular. And each of these circle charts is divided into 12 pieces which represent the zodiac signs.
If we do some quick maths then 360/12 = 30
This means that each zodiac sign occupies 30° of the chart, and as we know the zodiac "seasons" last roughly 30 days or so.
When you look at the rest of this post you will see me mentioning the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd decans of Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini, and this basically describes which part of the zodiac season the card represents and therefore may help if you are trying to figure out the timing of an event when doing your readings.
I hope this helped at least a little bit to help you guys understand this concept a little more. I might make another post explaining this in a bit more detail in the future.
These cards are ruled by the following signs and/or celestial bodies:
All air signs combined (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
2nd decan of Libra
Saturn
3rd decan of Libra
Jupiter
1st decan of Aquarius
Venus
2nd decan of Aquarius
Mercury

3. The Empress - Venus, Earth
10. The Wheel of Fortune - Jupiter, Fire
