35. Would the King of Pentacles describe himself as 'fun-loving'? No, that description suits better to the Knight of Wands. The King of Pentacles is more about money and luxury.

39. Which member of the Court has never taken a selfie? This must be someone from the Pentacles court. I choose the Knight of Pentacles; he is always busy with working, so he has no time for a selfie.

32. Which member of the Court is a bit of a sore loser? The Knight of Pentacles. because he is different than the other Knights. He prefers to stay in his Kingdom. The other Knights want adventures and are fast.

And they are discussing their families. What would each king say?

42. Which members of the Court do the most household chores? The members of the Pentacles are doing the most household chores. I go for the Queen of Pentacles she is a born and perfect housewife.

41. The Knights and the Queens are competing in a Chess tournament. Which group wins and why? The Queens will win; they master their element and are more focused on the long term.

43. Choose a movie to represent each member of the Court and give your reasons. For me personally this is the most important and difficult question. Because now we have a person by every Court Card. All the movie characters represent in my opinion the characteristic from the Court card. It was not easy to find a matching movie to all the Court cards. Parts of these texts are from Wikipedia. Wands • Page of Wands. Pippi Longstocking. Pippi is red-haired, freckled, unconventional and superhumanly strong – able to lift her horse one-handed. She is playful and unpredictable. She often makes fun of unreasonable adults, especially if they are pompous and condescending. …

44. Would the Page of Swords describe himself as 'secretive'? The dictionary says that being secretive means: people who are secretive hide their feelings, thoughts, intentions, and actions from other people. Yes, the Page of Swords is secretive. He does not trust easy persons. You never know if there are things, what you do not see. He sees everywhere conspiracy theories and he likes to spy.

45. You have a problem with your computer. Which member of the Court do you call for help? I call the Knight of Pentacles because he is a perfectionist. He will only leave if everything is fine, after he has tested and checked everything. He stands for quality, perfectionism, responsibility and you can trust him.

46. 'A logical decision is always the best, even if it hurts someone's feelings.' Which member of the Court is most likely to say this? The Queen of Swords. She looks at logic not at feelings.

47. Which member of the Court requires the most 'alone time'? Alone time means according to the dictionary time where a couple is alone and completely free to explore their sexual fantasies without having to worry about being interrupted! For me this looks like someone of the Cups Court. So I choose for the Knight of Cups. But the Knight of Wands also fits in here.

48. Would the Page of Pentacles describe himself as 'spontaneous'? Spontaneous means according to the dictionary: happening or done in a natural, often sudden way, without any planning or without being forced. In my view the Page of Pentacles is not at all spontaneous. He likes to have everything planned and is not so communicative. The word 'spontaneous', suits better by the page of Wands.

49. The Queens are trying to decide how to spend a Saturday night. What are their ideas? Queen of Wands she wants to go out to a nightclub. Queen of Cups she wants to visit friends at home. Queen of Swords she wants to read a good book. Queen of Pentacles she wants to cook for her loved ones.

51. Which member of the Court is likely to have lucid dreams? Meaning of lucid dreams according to the dictionary: a dream in which the dreamer is aware that he or she is dreaming and can sometimes influence the course of the dream. To me this does not sounds like a Cup person, because they are always dreaming. So it must be someone from the Swords Court. I go for the Page of Swords, because he will check the most of all to see if something is reality or a dream. And he likes to have control over a situation.

52. 'I find it easier to notice factual discrepancies than underlying patterns.' Which member of the Court is most likely to say this? This is not an easy question because seeing facts and patterns, is something what the Swords court does. So in this case I will go not for the Swords court, but for the Pentacles court. I go for the Page of Pentacles.

According to the dictionary being reserved means that reserved people do not often talk about, or show their feelings or thoughts. Well the King of Swords is not a person, who talks or shows feelings or thoughts. So he is in my view reserved.

54. You ask each member of the Court what their favourite Major Arcana card is and why. What are their answers? Wands Page of Wands: The Fool he likes adventure. Knight of Wands: The Chariot he loves action. Queen of Wands: The Sun because this is a card of optimism. King of Wands: The Magician he looks the most like him. Cups Page of Cups: The Hanged Mean, he likes to dream and meditate. Knight of Cups: The Hanged Mean, he likes to dream and meditate. Queen of Cups: The High Priestess, she looks the most like her.
