anyone else think it's kinda weird
that the Emperor and the High Priestess give you tarot/planet cards
and the Empress and the Hierophant give you card enhancements?
like surely the pairs should be Emperor & Empress and High Priestess & Hierophant??
This is one of those really interesting questions because on the one hand you're right, this is a reasonable assumption and the pairings seem a little bit off
But there ARE some readings of the major arcana which have the Emperor and High Priestess concerned with more holistic, structural, larger-group affairs and interpersonal relationships, while the Empress and Hierophant are aimed at personal improvement and inner focus, which makes sense to tarot/planet cards affecting potentially "the whole tableau" and card enhancements affecting an individual card (or two/three)
but that's also a slant-read and a stretch?
