Spades

Of all the suits, Spades are the most powerful, and therefore are often more complex. Spades focus on work and health, and more significantly: truth, wisdom and spirituality.

Spades are hard-working people, often striving for perfection and able to work through almost any challenge because of their great willpower. Also, because of their complexity and self-discipline, they are very unaccepting of anyone else trying to control their life. Spades are also known for making sacrifices to gain what they deserve.

Diamonds

Diamonds are the suit that represents money, and more specifically, values. Because they represent the adulthood period of our life, Diamond children find themselves frustrated when they are not treated like an adult, which is often how they see themselves.

Diamonds are very value-driven and excel at selling those things that they believe in. Diamonds are famous for assigning values to everything as that is how they make sense of their lives. While Diamonds stand for wealth and enjoy spending money, along their journey they realize material things do not bring them happiness.

There are 131 birthdays associated with the Diamond suit.

Clubs

Clubs are a suit surrounding communications, knowledge acquisition, mental processes and intelligence. They are known for arguing their ideas and thoughts with great passion. This is due to their curiosity and desire for additional knowledge, not because they are argumentative.

Clubs are always interested in acquiring new knowledge and speaking with others about what they have learned. They are also prone to question everything because they are driven to learn the how and why. 

There are 133 birthdays associated with the Club suit.

Hearts

Since Hearts are associated with childhood, people under this suit are often more in tune with their emotions. They place a high level of focus on love and their relationships with family and friends.

Hearts often look and act younger than they are, and as a result, can sometimes be overly dramatic. On the flip side, Hearts are entertaining and often end up in professions related to passions such as music, art, photography and other similar areas. Hearts find joy in relationships, and are loving partners and friends.
