Synonyms: face card, royalty card. suited card that depicts a member of a royal court or similar figure. In regular playing cards, court cards usually comprise King, Queen, and Jack. In Tarot decks they usually comprise King, Queen, Knight, and Page. However, other kinds of Tarot court cards exist, e.g., King, Queen, Prince, and Princess.

court cards are the "person cards" of the tarot. These are the final four of every suit, and usually include Page, Knight, Queen, and King; but this can vary. For example, a Page is often a Princess, a Knight a Prince. Court cards often refer to people in the querent's life, but may point to aspects of the querent him/herself. Generally, there is a hierarchal approach to interpreting court cards. Pages can point to younger people or to messengers (or messages), innocence, or naiveté. Knights often point to energy, strength, courage, or drive. Queens represent strong female traits or feminine authority. Kings tend to signify male authority, male leadership, masculine energy, or father figures. This is a very loose guide, as each court card has a meaning relevant to its suit, as well as position in a spread.
