Mostly the Numbered Charts are seen as elemental aspects of the kabbalastic sephiroth, whereas the Court Cards indicate persons in the life of the Consultant, who come to aid or hindrance. The Poem below is a memotechnic aid.

Four Suits presents the Name of every name.
Four Brilliant beams adorn His Crown of Flame.
Four Rivers Ever from His Wisdom Flow.
Four Proofs of his Intelligence we know.
Four Benefactions from His Mercy come.
Four times four Sins avenged His Justice sum.
Four Rays unclouded make His Beauty known.
Four times His Conquest shall in song be shown.
Four times He Triumphs on the timeless plane.
Foundations Four His great White Throne maintain.
One Fourfold Kingdom owns His Endless sway,
As from his Crown there streams a fourfold ray.

King, Queen, Knight, Page
The married pair, the youth, the child, the race;
Thy path by these to Unity retrace
