How the Terms Connect to Card Meanings
The terms give context for story, symbol, shadow, and reflection questions. A card may echo Mandate as responsibility, Yin and Yang as paired tendencies, Wu Xing as five-phase movement, or Bagua as spatial symbolism, but the page keeps those ideas distinct instead of turning them into one vague fortune-telling system.
