FORTUNE TELLING.      MEANINGS OF THE CARDS.

You can tell your fortune in the cards.  I prefer ordinary playing cards.  The tarot cards needs experience.
I will give you a couple of ways to tell your fortune at the end of the meanings of the cards.  Have fun and again I say be open minded.  There are many meanings to the cards.  This is just one set of meanings.

HEARTS.

ACE:        This card is taken as your "base" in both the literal and the metaphorical senses of the word.  It is your physical base - your home and what has happened, is happening, and is likely to happen within it.  It is also your emotional base - the seat of your feelings about love, friendship and affection.
TWO:       A partnership of some sort;  usually a partnership between lovers, close friends, or relations, rather than a primarily financial one.
THREE:     Friends and, more generally, sociability and enjoyable encounters with others.
FOUR:      Solid emotional relationships - love and friendship that endures that stands up with rock-like hardness to all the storms of life.
FIVE:        Unsure love, emotional disturbances, love that turns to its opposite, love that is "honey in the mouth but sickness in the stomach".
SIX:          Established affection, also offers of love and pleasant invitations generally.
SEVEN:     Love fulfilled, Venus triumphant - passionate and happy sexual relationships.
EIGHT:      Calm, reasoned and rather intellectual love - the influence of Mercury upon the sphere of Venus.  Also love letters, telephone calls from loved ones, and communications about romantic matters generally.  Can also indicate books, fiction or non-fiction, concerning love and the human emotions.

NINE:        The WISH CARD which, in company with the favourable cards in a layout, indicates that the enquirer will have his/her wish fulfilled.  The fortune- teller can usually decide the area of the enquirer's life to which the wish relates by noting the preponderant suit in the cards around the WISH CARD.  With HEARTS, an emotional matter;   with CLUBS, a matter concerned with money and/or property;   with DIAMONDS, "getting on in life", relations with bosses and workmates, etc.;    with SPADES, matters in which there is a large element of chance involved, and travel and adventure generally.  Apart from its WISH CARD significance, the NINE OF HEARTS can also be an indicator of "fruitful love" and children - in other words, fertility.  Surrounded by cards with a baleful or negative significance the card can indicate the exact reverse of fertility, i.e. sterility in its both literal and metaphorical meaning.

TEN:          Solid emotion based on material happiness and financial prosperity.
JACK:        Can represent either the ideas associated with Cupid - "love at first sight", impulsive affection, and so on - or a young person of either sex who regards the enquirer with much affection, not necessarily sexual in nature.
QUEEN:      A mature woman possessed of strong emotions.
KING:         A man, young or old, with an affectionate nature, desirous of love and being loved.

CLUBS

ACE:          Wealth and prosperity.  Also the beginning of a series of events that lead to the achievement of material success.
TWO:         Material losses, a division between business partners, quarrels and disputes over money and property.
THREE:      Slowness, sluggishness, inertia.  Events, particularly those concerning financial matters, moving slowly and causing annoyance.  The irritating and unhelpful intervention of others in matters that do not concern them. Legacies.
FOUR:        Financial success and prosperity.  A stroke of good luck, probably unexpected, but certainly well-deserved.
FIVE:          Disputes about money and property.  Disharmony and quarrels.  Families divided.  Upsets and unexpected obstacles of all sorts, particularly in relation to the enquirer's business and financial concerns.
SIX:           Great prosperity and material happiness.  The sun shining on financial matters.  A run of good luck.
SEVEN:       Financial losses and worries over money matters.  Money wasted on idle pleasures.  Money frittered away on needless luxuries, foolish speculations or pleasure jaunts.
EIGHT:        Money acquired as a result of careful planning or investment.  Important documents or letters relating to business and money matters.  Money gained or lost by theft and swindle.
NINE:          Financial matters, involving parents, children or sexual partners.
TEN:           Material success.  Solid and well-established prosperity.  A stable and comfortable situation.
JACK:         A young man or woman with a strong interest in money matters who is not always reliable or trustworthy.
QUEEN:       A mature and secure woman, probably comfortably off and notable for her sound common sense.
KING:          A prosperous, secure and thoroughly reliable man.  Can also indicate the enquirer's employer, male or female.

SPADES

ACE:          New and exciting adventures, the end results of which cannot as yet be decided with any certainty.  The significance of the cards on the right and left of the ACE indicates the likelihood, but not the certainty, of a particular matter developing in a satisfactory or unsatisfactory way.  If the ACE OF SPADES has a large number of HEARTS around it, the new beginning concerns, or will concern, love and romance.  If CLUBS are predominant, the venture concerns money, property or the enquirer's career or investments.

TWO:         A dynamic development of some sort.  A general moving forward.  Ideas, hopes and aspirations beginning to take concrete form. A hopeful start.
THREE:      A meeting or a conference.  A sharing of, or transmission, of ideas.  Airy concepts being solidified.  Prudent and careful consideration of future plans.
FOUR:        Solid progress in putting an idea into effect.  Good luck and prosperity resulting from foresight.
FIVE:          Rows, quarrels and disputes.  Turmoil and disorder.  Plans going wrong.  Partings, temporary and permanent.  Unexpected ill fortune.
SIX:            Steady progress in the aspect of life which is, at the moment, of most concern to the enquirer.
SEVEN:       Quarrels with partners.  The end of a romance.  The breaking up of relationships.  Accidents  and misunderstandings.
EIGHT:        Fortunate communications of all sorts - letters, telephone calls, etc.  Journeys that end happily.  Unexpected arrivals and departures.  Something surprising is likely to take place.
NINE:          Family disputes, usually between parents and children, that cause a great deal of annoyance but have no permanent ill-effects.
TEN:           This is the DISAPPOINTMENT card.  If the surrounding cards are good omens for the enquirer, It indicates that the good fortune indicated will not be quite so lucky as expected - the ripe apple may contain maggots.  If the surrounding cards have unfortunate significance, the strength of these is increased.
JACK:         A bright and thoroughly agreeable young man or woman who is full of interesting  and exciting ideas which are often rather impractical.
QUEEN:       A mature woman who is noted for her charm, liveliness and sociability.
KING:          An exciting live-wire even in maturity:  a man who is self-confident, popular with most of those he knows, and prepared to take a certain amount of risks.

DIAMONDS

ACE:           Splendid but erratic good luck.  An extraordinary event.  A new and rather surprising factor manifesting itself in a situation.  An energetic and good beginning to a course of action or a series of events.
TWO:          An increase in prosperity is indicated, but a note of warning is sounded.  Action that is imprudent should be avoided.  Look before you leap.  Try to relax occasionally.
THREE:       Good luck through the cooperation and help of friends and associates.  Steady progress with life's problems.
FOUR:         Established success, steady good fortune, much happiness and prosperity.  Things go so well that there is a danger of complacency.
FIVE:           Troubles and conflicts resulting from a clash of ideas or a profound difference of opinion.  If this card occupies a strong position in a layout, the enquirer would be strongly advised to keep his/her temper at all costs and on no account to act rashly.
SIX:            Positive happiness - not the happiness of mere satisfaction, but the happiness in which almost any activity seems worthwhile and pleasurable.  A VERY FORTUNATE CARD.
SEVEN:       A passionate relationship;  strong bonds between partners.  Physical satisfaction and comfort of every sort.
EIGHT:        Exciting news.  Messages from afar.  Adventurous holidays.  Eventful journeys.  Change.  In some contexts can indicate study and academic work, particularly if the physical sciences are involved.
NINE:          A birth or a marriage.  An eventful relationship in which things are always happening.  Prosperity.  Change for the better.  Productive disagreements.
TEN:            A happy end to turmoil.  A well-earned holiday.  A substantial sum of money earned with much effort and now being gladly used.
JACK:         A pushy young man or woman, often rather impulsive but nevertheless, possessed of considerable courage and tenacity.
QUEEN:       A mature and forceful woman, rather a bossy one.
KING:          An extremely energetic and mature man who finds it difficult to relax.

Now I will give you three ways to tell your future.

1. Shuffle the cards well and then think of a question you would like an answer to.  But the question must be to receive a yes or no answer.  After choosing your question, start places the cards on top of each other.  If the NINE OF HEARTS COMES FIRST,  your wish is granted and the answer is YES.  But if the TEN OF SPADES COMES FIRST,  the answer is NO.
   
2. Shuffle the cards well,  cut with your left hand and put back on top of pile.    Pick out three cards and do not look at them.  Face them down on table side by side.  The first card is the PAST.  The second card is the PRESENT.  And the third card is the FUTURE.  Turn each card over one by one and look at its meaning.
   

3. Shuffle the cards well and again cut with left hand and place back on top of pile.  This time you will place seven cards face down in a row.  Call the first card THE PAST.  Call the second card, WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND YOUR HOME.  Third card  is to do with work.  Fourth card to do with MONEY.  Fifth card is LOVE AND ROMANCE. and last card is what is TO COME FROM THE FUTURE.
