Minor Arcana · numerical family
Book T places this four-card family in Tiphareth. The shared number describes a stage of force; Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles show how that stage changes when expressed through Fire, Water, Air and Earth.
The Sixes bring the work into a clear, coherent accomplishment. What was contested in the Five has carried through to a result.
Book T classifies the Sixes under Tiphareth. Each suit qualifies what accomplishment means in its own elemental field.
