Each King, Queen, and Knight corresponds to a Zodiacal sign, e.g., the King of Batons corresponds to Aries.  Each Page and Ten correspond to a seasonal transition, e.g., the Page and Ten of Coins correspond to the transition between Winter and Spring (i.e., the cusp between Sagittarius and Capricorn).

Notes.
• Sources explicitly and systematically state all correspondences, except those in red, which they imply only.
• Correspondences are of a primary nature, except those in blue, which are of a secondary, or less important, nature.
• When a source numbers a Major Arcanum differently compared to the Tarot de Marseilles, the number appears in bold.
• Items which appear in brackets [like this] are editorial insertions.
• [sic] indicates that, although it may appear incorrect, an item is correct.
