Definition of heart
The heart is one of the four suits in the traditional 52-card deck. In the card games that take the suits into consideration, the heart is only dominated by the spade. It is stronger than the clubs and diamonds. In both normal and four-card decks, the heart is always red (while the club will become green and the diamond blue). The spade will also keep its colour and will always be black, regardless of the type of cards.
The different symbolism of the heart
The heart is obviously the symbol of love, of life (life symbolised by the heart that beats in our body), of generosity (to give one's whole heart to it), of application to a task (to put a lot of heart into a work or a project), but also of summer, spring and the power of light. In Tarot, the heart symbolises knowledge, love, life, water, fertility, fortune and joy. The heart also symbolises the intellect and refers to memory (learning a poem, story or song by heart).
