In a deck of playing cards or tarot cards, there are, in addition to the numbered or pip cards, a sequence of cards depicting members of the nobility. These are the court or face cards.

In a 52-card deck of playing cards, these royal cards are the Jack, Queen, and King of the card suits clubs, hearts, spades, and diamonds.

In a 78 card tarocchi or tarot deck, there are four court cards per card suits: the Page, Knight, Queen, and King (or Princess, Prince, Knight, Queen).

When reading cards, some diviners use a card layout that requires them to select a so-called "significator card" to represent the sitter or querent -- that is, you. It is very common for a card reader to choose a court card for a significator and to base the selection on your zodiac sign, gender, and age. The zodiac sign determines the [[Card Suits|suit], and your gender and age determine which of the court cards in that suit is your card.

In a reading concerning a love relationship or business partnership, two significators may be selected, if the layout permits it, one for you and one for the person of interest in the case. If you know that person's age and zodiac sign or birth date, it will be a simple matter for your card reader to pull out the significator card on that person and to insert it into the layout, thus reading for both of you at once.
