    He changed the order of the strength and justice card so it could correlate better to the Leo and Libra signs. He also put only two individuals in the lovers card instead of three to reinforce the Gemini concept

  7. Sonya Fitch says

    He changed the Strength, Justice and Lovers cards to correspond with astrological signs Leo, Libra, and two people to better represent Gemini.

      I thought the strength and justice cards were switched in order. I am not aware of any changes…but now you have me thinking and intrigued.

  9. Suzanne Pink says

    #8 and #11 Strength and Justice
    Thinking strength better associated with astrological sign of the lion, being Leo and
    Justice, the scales ⚖️ of Libra.

    The Strength and Justice cards and their are many decks today created with these to cards in switched positions 😊

  14. Andrea Lagree says

    The strength (11th) and justice (8th) cards traditionally were switched to work better with astrology

  18. Jessica says

    Switched Justice and strength to better fit their zodiac counterparts, Libra and Leo, and changed lovers to make it fit Gemini better as well

  21. Ryan Russell says

    He changed 3 cards to better follow the idea of the astrological signs. Strength for Leo, Justice for Libra and 2 lovers for Gemini.

    Fun fact (I did not know) In researching this I found that the major arcana are numbered according to status in the moral consideration of the time. Also, the Chariot, The Lovers and Justice often get reordered.

    The Strength, Justice, and Lovers cards where switched. Strength and Justice where switched to correspond with Leo and Justice. Lovers card was switched to correspond with Gemini.
