The Value of Numbers
Each card has a face value represented by the number of the card. These numbers including the Ace, as one, up through the Jack, Queen and King represent influences upon you without regard to which suit it is.
This is why you will see similarities between the Aces,Twos, Threes all the way through the Kings regardless of their suit. By becoming familiar with the face value of the card, and some of the keywords, you can begin learning various traits that may show up in any position the card sits.
Just like anything in our third dimensional world, because we live in duality, you will find opposites. There is black and white, dark and light, night and day, good and evil, positive and negative… I would rather think that we can portray the high side or the low side of a card, rather than it being a positive or negative trait.
