The other suites fair much better. The competition of Wands is successfully concluded and Pentacles and Cups reap generous benefits. The cause is rooted in the nature of male and female energy. Female energy is nurturing, lingering, caring, controlling, and restricting. Peace is found in female energy, and thus in the suites of Pentacles and Cups.
Male energy is outgoing, brash, quick, short, and open.
These qualities, the basis of the male Wands and Swords, is not a solid foundation for a renewal of cycles. I've found most of them confusing and a waste of time. I invented myself when I was playing around one day.
