Tarot story arcs

It has often been noted that the cards of the Major Arcana (cards 0-XXI) represent a story, following the Fool's journey as he/she matures and eventually returns to innocence.

The Minor Arcana, however, also tell stories.  Each suit contains a story arc in the cards numbered 2 through 10.  The theme of the story is dictated by the symbolism of the suit, but each number has consistencies across the suits.  So all the 2s have something in common, all the 9s, all the 10s, etc.  Story arcs are a major part of my interpretation, because by comparing a card's number position with the other cards in its suit we can arrive at a more nuanced understanding of its meaning.

There is a lot of redundancy built into the tarot, areas of overlap in the meanings of various cards, and this is important as it allows for very emphatic answers (if you draw more than one card with similar meanings) as well as elaboration on what might be too simplistic an answer if you relied on only one card.  There will be some redundancy in my posts, too, as sometimes I'll be considering all the 4s, and other times all the swords, and so on.  But each will come from a distinct context.
