Matching up your cards with the seasons can give you an idea of the themes or timeframes you might be working with. Spring represents new beginnings, summer is a time of growth and abundance, autumn signifies transitions and harvest, and winter represents reflection and transformation. Each season can be associated with one of the four elements. Spring is linked to air, summer to fire, autumn to water, and winter to earth. These can then be linked to the suits which each have an element. Look for cards that depict seasonal symbols or activities. A reversed card during spring might indicate obstacles to new beginnings, while a reversed card in winter could signify a resistance to change. Here are some possible examples of seasonal card associations: Spring as the ace of wands - the spark of new ideas and creative beginnings. Summer as the ten of pentacles - where the fruits of your labor are enjoyed. Autumn as the death card - transitions and transformation like when the leaves fall and nature undergoes profound change. Winter as the hermit card - brings introspection much like the stillness and reflection of the winter season.
