Hi Everyone, a couple of people showed a interest in wanting to know my playing card meanings that I assigned, after searching the web and books on the subject, but they didn't seem to fit with what I was looking for so I simplified them to a more modern day approach.Although I'm still fairly new to it, but have always been interested in playing cards as it was my first reading that I had, and was totally accurate, also one of my best friends is a cartomancer of 25 years, and her readings have always been accurate too. Playing cards are more predictive as far as mundane matters are concerned, just the everyday things that people want to know about.

So feel free to use my meanings, I would like to know how you get on.

Now because I have atleast 2 meanings for each card, it depends what is surrounding it, or the domineering suit that will determine which one you use.It is interesting to note also which way the court cards are facing. Eg: if the King of Diamonds is looking at 2 spadesthen this king is undecided in career matters. If King of Hearts, then this king is undecided in emotional matters.

If 5 spade is in between two court cards say 2 queens and they are facing each other then these 2 queens will have a argument.But just like tarot and other divinatory processes, time and experience is the best teacher.I have found that it is just best to stick to one set of meanings, otherwise we can confuse ourselves if we look up too many other interpretations. My friend who is a cartomancer was taught by her grandmother and has used the same method and looked no where else for meanings etc, and she knows who cards so well, that when they are laid out in front of her, she knows instantly what they are telling her.I don't mind writing my meanings out, because that way it becomes programmed in my mind the more repetition I do. I will also programme in my mind the combinations of what certain cards mean together as well.Later on I want to assign meanings for the body, health ailments etc. I believe that everything can be seen in the cards, because of how they represent nature and the universe, but more so because i will programme them that way.

Look forward to your comments.

I've been thinking about how I can incorporate the majors into the cards too, this is what I came up with.

Having a combination of the same number value

2 Aces - Magician3 Aces - Sun2 twos - High Priestess3 twos - Justice4 twos - Judgment2 threes - Empress3 threes - Hanged Man4 threes - World2 fours - Emperor3 fours - Death2 fives - Heirophant3 fives - Temperance2 sixes - lovers3 sixes - Devil2 sevens - Chariot3 sevens - Tower2 Eights - Strength3 Eights - Star2 Nines - Hermit3 Nines - Moon2 Tens - Wheel of fortune

Although they may not be the only meaning of these combinations. Interesting that the "Devil" is 3 6's 666. Not that I see the devil as negative, Angel fallen into a material world. Just like anything it will be up to you to determine when those combinations fit.
