I found this in a book that I've been reading today. Gotta love those snow days for making you stay inside + read! The book is U]Romancing the Tarot[/U] by Phyllis Vega.

"Because they relate to the major issues in our lives, the trump cards are generaly thought of as the most powerful in the deck. However, that does not mean that they are actually more important than the other cards. On a daily basis, the court and the pip cares are at least as important, precisely because they pertain to the people and events of everyday life.

With the exception of the cour cards, every card in the tarot is linked to a number. The pip cards are numbered ace through ten.

Ace: beginnings, new ideas, potential, promise
Two: partnership, relationship, polarities, balancing
Three: synthesis, growth, creativity, unity
Four: foundations, disciplien, work, stability
Five: change,shifts, adjustments, challenge
Six: balance, health, harmony, equilibrium
Seven: spirituality, wisdom, insight, complex choices
Eight: setting priorities, reevaluating, regeneration
Nine: integration, fulfillment, attainment, conclusion
Ten: wholeness, completion, transition to a new cycle"

Exactly! The numerology of the cards were discussed in this thread as well! http://www.mysticwicks.com/showthread.php?threadid=22691

When reading a card, look at the number, the suit, what the figure is doing or how they are behaving, any astrological signs involved, any symbols or specific items of the card that draw your attention. All these are clues to what the card is trying to tell you!

FYI
I associate these suits with these astrological signs:

Swords: Air: Thought: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Wands: Fire: Creativity: Aries, Leo, Saggitarius (sp?)
Pentacles: Earth: Prosperity: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Cups: Water: Emotions/Relationships: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

Hope this is helpful as well! :D

Thanks Dagda!

I also found this regarding the four suits:

Wands: creativity, ideas, conception, beginnings
Cups: feelings, love, romance,desire, inner experience
Pentacles: physicality, manifestation, practicality, finance
Swords: action, the intellect, communication, struggle

Blessings,
