Even our distant ancestors used playing cards as the most common means for predicting the future. The first mention of decks was found in European literature of the fourteenth century, since then they have been popular. Ordinary cards are directly related to the mystical tarot; in many fortunetelling, not only the alignment is similar, but also the meaning. The ace of spades, for example, is similar to the ace of Swords, and the suit of Pentacles is similar to a tambourine.
In preparation for fortune-telling, as a rule, a person stores not a complete deck consisting of fifty-four cards, but an abridged version of thirty-six. The ritual is recommended to be carried out in a room without icons for a more accurate result, the cross must be removed from the body, and all pets, especially cats, are driven away. The meaning of the cards is described below.
Ace (spades)
First of all, pay attention to the position of the card. It may be as follows:
- Ace of spades point up . The value of such a card can be considered generally positive. It is traditionally perceived as a sign warning about the imminent connection of the fortune of a fortuneteller with a state house. Do not be scared and think about the prison, perhaps this is just a trip to a state institution - to the administration building, military registration and enlistment office or hospital. The second value is more pleasant. The dropped ace of spades can portend things that bring pleasure, their mood promises to carry within themselves only good, but there is no need to relax. This card also acts as a warning: caution is required in matters related to the legal side of what is happening. Ace's environment plays a significant role, and in some cases, his appearance in the alignment predicts passionate love.
- Ace of spades point down . Alas, it will not work to interpret this sign on the positive side. Such a card promises speedy disappointments, possible illnesses, defeats in business. It is not excluded the betrayal of a loved one or the betrayal of a friend, a family member. Finding nearby other cards of the suit of spades only strengthens the negative character of omen.
Ace of spades before king of spades
The value of this combination of cards is often interpreted incorrectly. Some girls, wanting to know the man’s attitude to themselves, resort to the help of fortune telling, but the answer of the mystical forces may not suit the questioner, and then she begins to look for positive aspects in him. The most common mistake is to consider the ace that fell after the king to be a sign of the complete remorse of a person, puzzled by him, regarding a woman. If the lovers had a fight, the answer of the cards does not mean that the man is sorry, he only shows that he is not feeling well at the moment, and anything can be the reason for this.
If the ace of spades falls before the king, the spade is in the upright position, this predicts a speedy and final separation of the couple due to the fault of the man. If the card turned upside down, the woman will be a captive of strong, but causeless experiences.
Ace of Hearts
As a suit directly related to love relationships, the “heart” is also of great interest to fortunetellers. In the upright position, the card is extremely positive. This is certainly speedy happiness, great joy, which is extremely difficult to overshadow. If a card with an image of any figure (at home, king or jack) is dropped next to the ace of hearts, this can mean meeting with friends, a fun feast, a date or just a get-together with a drink of alcohol.
The inverted position of the card will make the fortuneteller less happy. The promised joy will be diluted with a fly in the ointment, a merry feast will turn into chagrin. Neighboring cards will help you understand what exactly will go wrong.
- Ace of hearts, six clubs - acquaintance promises to be useful, but it will certainly incur a waste of money;
- Ace of worms, nine spades - a fortuneteller is waiting for unpleasant news related to health problems;
- Ace of hearts, ace of spades - the meaning of this combination is interpreted as news of a negative nature, promising a quarrel with a loved one. However, it can act as a pleasant sign. In order to understand this, you need to pay attention to neighboring cards. Eight clubs, next to a combination of aces, promises good news.
Ace of clubs
The main value of the card is related to financial issues.
- Ace of clubs in the " point up " position . Such a card promises financial revenues. Possible, a good profit from the planned enterprise, a sudden inheritance, a gift. If a figure lies nearby, you can understand the sender of the presentation, the absence of such can be interpreted as a surprise from a stranger.
- Ace of clubs in the " point down " position . The card advises the fortuneteller to exercise caution in financial matters; gossip is possible.
- Any six, ace of clubs - such a combination predicts joyful news.
- Seven clubs, ace of clubs - an extremely joyful event will happen in the personal life of a fortuneteller, a victory is expected in the competitive environment.
- Nine of spades, ace of clubs - these cards are a messenger of great troubles and severe disappointments.
- Nine of hearts, ace of clubs - on the threshold of future events is mutual love, which other joyful events cannot but accompany.
- King of clubs, ace of clubs - a fortuneteller should expect betrayal from a relative or friend. This is how this value of cards is interpreted. Ace of Spades - Ace of Worms is very similar to this combination of clubs.
- Ace of spades, ace of clubs - promise a great fear.
Ace of tambourine
The symbol of future news. In the upright position, they can be both positive and neutral. You can find out the nature of letters and other messages if you look at the surrounding suits. The presence of positive cards promises an appropriate value. Ace of spades warns of difficulties, worms promise a love confession, or an invitation to a celebration. If the card has dropped its tip down, the fortuneteller should prepare for negative news. Any card without a figure belonging to black suits suggests that hopes are not destined to come true, the nine peak acts as a signal to betrayal by an important person, a long journey is possible. Separately, it is worth considering the situation when the ace of tambourine lay between the king of spades and the nine of spades, this alignment promises a happy future or an increase at work.
King of spades
The interpretation of the provisions is as follows:
- Direct position . In the life of a fortuneteller, a person will soon intervene, directly connected with the civil service. They may be a military officer, official or representative of any other public profession. In a different interpretation of the king, the peak is called a person holding a high position, respected in society. Friendship with him will bring a lot of good, but hostility promises to end in tragedy. Very faithful in love.
- Point down . A person who does not have moral principles, is inclined to take bribes, too cruel and rude. Maps warn: cooperation with him will bring a lot of problems. Exhausting court proceedings, the king can accept this value. The ace of spades in combination with this card is discussed in another part of the article.
King tambourine
This is a very positive card. In the first position, he predicts a young and pleasant person, usually a blonde. Such a friend can be useful due to his influence in many areas, as well as his willingness to drop his business and come to the aid of a friend. However, he has an overestimated ego, which can cause a lot of unwanted trouble. If fortune-telling takes place in order to find out how the relationship will develop with a certain person, the appearance of this card means a positive answer. Wedding or friendship, - this value is characteristic of the king of a tambourine. The ace of spades next to the card promises a quarrel over cash. The second position (inverted) indicates the appearance in the life of a fortuneteller of an undesirable person.
King of hearts
If this card from the deck is encountered in the layout, one can expect the appearance of a fortunetelling good-natured, just person in life. He can act as a lover, or an ordinary patron, whose help will be very helpful at this stage of the events. As a rule, this is a man with a fair face and blond hair, still young, but has already crossed the line of youth.
In the opposite position, the card advises fearing a person with a changeable character, he is not inclined to answer for his words, but he is willingly scattered with false promises. Sometimes an ace of spades appears next to the king of hearts. The value of the card in fortune-telling enhances the negative side of the answer, trouble is expected.
King of clubs
In the right position - the most reliable friend, not stingy, always ready to listen to any request. For a person doing business, means the appearance of a good partner. In love, faithful, can become an ideal husband. Appearance is dark-skinned, dark hair.
In the opposite position, the person as a whole is extremely unpleasant. Unfair, angry, perhaps old. To understand the reason for this attitude, you need to look at the environment, the value of the cards when divining. Ace of spades directly indicates anger and hatred. As a rule, the king of clubs in this case is an outsider, an envious person, possibly a stepfather or neighbor.
