At some stage in the future that is likely, but it won't be any time
real soon. The advantage with the small cards is that they allow for a
systematic analysis of the sephiroth, the elements, the planets...

From your comments below, presume you mean small cards, not trumps.

Thanks for the lengthy and informative reply. It does all make
sense now, except that it's sort of hard to see Gemini as
the oldest Air sign instead of the youngest. It's not hard
with earth - Virgo fits the role perfectly.
That's probably because of the nature of Air.
Even in its most mature form its very immature,
unstable and without substance.
And it's sort of easy to see Aquarius
as the most stable (fixed) air sign.....
Best regards,
