If you decide to read with a significator, there are various ways that the card can be chosen. A card can be drawn at random, or you can use your client's Zodiac sign to determine the suit.
Wands are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius
Cups are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces
Swords are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
Pentacles are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn
Or you can use physical characteristics.In the method using Zodiac signs, once the suit has been defined, the Court Card that best matches your client is chosen.
Pages are most often seen as children (or teens) of either sex
Knights as young adults of either sex
Queens as adult females (or married women)
Kings as adult males (or married men)
In the method using physical characteristics, the traditional view is:
Wands are fair, with light or reddish hair and either light or dark eyes.
Cups are fair, with light brown or dark blond hair, and gray, blue, or hazel eyes.
Swords are olive complected, with brown or black hair, and light eyes.
Pentacles are dark skinned, with black or dark brown hair, and dark eyes.
Use the same system as above for determining which card within the suit best defines your client.
Note: Although a King or Queen in a spread usually do indicate a person, the Knight may indicate a sudden change of events and a Page may indicate some kind of communication related to the question.
