Core meaning
Queens stand for nurturing, service and care. They organise, support and look after others.
Clubs is the suit of the mind: ideas, learning and communication. It’s usually linked with the element of Fire and the tarot suit of Wands.
The Queen of Clubs brings care and service to the mind. It’s intuitive, perceptive and organised, and loves helping others understand things. Its lesson is using its sharp mind kindly, especially when it sees what others miss.

The birth card is one part of Cardology
Your birth card is just one indicator in Cardology. The full system also looks at a planetary ruling card, which is a second card based on your star sign, and at Karma Cards, which are linked with lessons you’re working through and gifts you bring with you. It also uses spreads, where the whole deck is laid out in a traditional pattern. These give a set of life path cards that stay with you for life, and a new yearly spread each birthday, with a specific card for each 52-day period plus long-range and result cards. Cardology can also compare two people’s cards to describe how they connect.
These aren’t covered on this website. Here you’ll find your birth card, your planet year and the dates of your 52-day periods, but not the specific cards that fall in them. To explore the rest, look for a full Cardology reference, such as Robert Lee Camp’s books.
