in the past, it was customary in tarot to use the court faces as significator cards, determining the appropriate significator by matching physical features: notably, hair color and eye color.

for obvious reasons, this tradition is considered passe and has been retired for some time. still, I think there is merit in knowing the symbolism associated with these features, and I believe readers can assign significator cards using affinity in place of physical likeness:

• complexion – innate temperament
• hair color – personality, humour
• eye color – disposition, perspective

Physical Characteristics:

(these are the traditional characteristics)

WANDS COURT – suit of fire

• light/"pale" complexion
• auburn/red hair
• rich, green eyes

SWORDS COURT – suit of air

• medium/"olive" complexion
• brown hair
• light, grey eyes

CUPS COURT – suit of water

• fair complexion
• blonde hair
• deep, blue eyes

COINS COURT – suit of earth

• deep complexion
• black hair
• dark, brown eyes

thanks for reading this post! I look forward to discussing this further in the comment section!
