The corresponding coins (also called star coins and stars) symbolize wealth. Diamond means "diamond" in English, which stands for wealth, just corresponding to the coins in tarot cards. At the same time, the shape of the square is very similar to the star coins in the tarot pattern.

3. Club.

Corresponding to the scepter, it symbolizes power and enthusiasm. The English club of plum blossom means "stick, stick", which just corresponds to the scepter in tarot cards. Therefore, plum blossom has nothing to do with clover. The popular saying that "the plum blossom looks like a clover to represent luck" is even more nonsense.

4. Heart.

Corresponding to the Holy Grail, it symbolizes love and all kinds of emotional and perceptual thinking. The holy grail in tarot represents emotion, so the corresponding heart is designed as a heart, suggesting love.
