Elemental Dignities

To understand the elemental relationships between the cards, we should always take into account their actual meaning. The elements of the cards are Fire (Strength) and Fire (Emperor). The two cards are friendly and support each other, as they both have the same vibration and they suggest stability, power and authority. If however, there are indications of conflicts and contrasts by other cards within the same spread, the mixture of these two could lead to excess, arrogance and despotism.
