Wands, cups, swords or pentacles: which one do you live in?

Every tarot deck has four suits, and each one is a way of meeting the world. Wands act, cups feel, swords think and pentacles build. Most people move through all four in a week, but almost everyone has a home suit, the one they fall back into when they are tired or happy or under pressure.

Eight quick questions. Answer with the first thing that feels true, not the version of you that you are working on.
