Cartomancy 101: 6. Choosing a Suit

 

Below, I have made a chart of the four suits and their meanings
by Traditional Coloring (Hair color, or eye color)

Personality Traits,

Astrological Elements, and or Careers. So after you chose your
court card: (King, Queen, Jack), decide what suit should they be
under?

You do not have to match every item to yourself or the person. For instance if you have Blonde hair but are not in the Heart’s career, you can still choose Hearts.  In fact, you can choose two, three or just one category to go by.

 

SUIT	TRADITIONAL COLORING	PERSONAILTY TRAITS	ASTROLOGICAL ELEMENTS	CAREERS
Heart	Blond Or White Hair Blue or green Eyes Fair Complexion	Warm, friendly, affectionate, loving, creative	Water (Cancer, Scorpio Pisces)	Caring Professions, creative and artistic professions, education
CLUBS	Brown Hair Brown or Hazel Eyes Ruddy Complexion	Energetic, Lively, luxury-loving	Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)	Media, Travel , Business
DIAMONDS	Mousy or Red Hair Green Eyes Freckles, Fair complexion	Confident, practical, Materialistic	Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)	Banking, Real Estate
SPADES	Dark Brown or Black Hair. Brown or Black Eyes, Dark Complexion	Powerful, intelligent ,melancholy	Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)	Law, Big Business, traditionally all professions connected with death

 

Remember, choose a category per READING and stick with that category
in that READING. Don’t flip around in the middle of someone’s read.
For example. if you decided that Papa Smurf is the King of Diamonds
because he is a Capricorn, don’t change it later in the reading and
decide he is the King of Clubs because he is powerful, intelligent,
and melancholy.

Some books, (If you buy a book on this) will tell you to choose the
suit and court card and pull it out of the deck before you shuffle
and start. To them, it makes more sense to choose it and then
see if it comes up in the spread. If it does, make a note to
yourself on its position:

If it appears in the center of the spread , the questioner is in the middle of a important situation.
If its to one side, then the question is just beginning or ending
that situation.

If the card never appears in the spread, don’t panic. This happens for many reasons. One of
which is because the cards were focusing more on the people around
the questioner. So you never know what will happen.

Now, the suits in a spread will tell you a lot about the affinities
involved. If the court cards are all of the same suit then this
tells of a close relationship. For example, if your reading
someone who is the Queen of Diamond and the King of Diamonds appears
then you can assume that there is a relationship. Either a husband
or someone very important to her. It can be someone who she has a
deep bond with. It doesn’t have to be a marriage or boyfriend. It
can easily be a dear close friend, just someone dear to her. This
however, depends on the nature of the reading.

So remember, that will tip you off on who it is. If it is about her career then this
could be a close person she works with, a boss. If it is a JACK of
diamonds, remember it could represent her child or someone younger
than she is. Remember this may not mean someone extremely young
by age. If it is work related it could be someone who she is
training, or showing the ropes, or someone who merely looks up to
her. Remember that Jack doesn’t always represent age as in years,
but also someone we kind of look out for , that depends on us or is
learning from us.

Each Suit ALSO has an opposite number representing a negative
affinity. Hearts are opposed to Diamonds and Clubs are opposed to
Spades. So if a woman who is the queen of spades has a King of Clubs
in her spread, well this can only mean that he is or will bring
tension or difficulty. Maybe they are having a love affair that
isn’t going to well. OR he is a jealous colleague at her job. If a
King of hearts or diamonds shows up, though, with the Queen of Spades,
then you will interpret them in a usual way
