Elemental Dignities


The elements of the cards are Water (Hanged Man) and Air (Page of Swords), a neutral combination that could either support or weaken the meanings of the cards. However, given the strongest energy of the major arcana card (Hanged Man), one would expect that the dynamic of the Page of Swords would be weakened, delayed or restricted in some way.
