Most popular layouts

There is a huge amount in various ways find out your destiny and answers to a variety of questions. Of course, a separate layout is chosen for each situation. The meanings for fortune telling on playing cards will largely depend on what the querent is asking about. So, the following types of layouts are distinguished:

• are common,
• for love,
• to fate,
• for a period of time
• at will.

The last type is the simplest and most common. With the help of such layouts you can quickly get an answer to your question. For example, consider the “Yes or No” fortune telling. There are two types of its layout: with three and with five cards. The second method gives a more detailed answer - what is against it and what needs to be changed. The meaning and combination of 36 playing cards in this layout will have a slightly different meaning. So, 5 cards are drawn sequentially from the deck.

1, 2 and 3 – answer the question: “Yes or no?” In this case, only the suit of the cards drawn is taken into account:

• suit of hearts - yes,
• crusade - extremely unlikely,
• peak - no,
• Diamond - there are some obstacles.

So, for example, in the image above we see 2 crosses and one heart. This means that the wish will come true, but with a very low probability.

4 - indicates what is against, 5 - what needs to be changed.

The fourth and fifth cards must be interpreted, as in general layouts. So, the king of the cross - most likely, your friend will interfere with you. And the last card - 8 of spades - means that the arrival of guests will help change the situation.

Meaning in a love reading

As already mentioned, the interpretation of cards for different fortune telling may differ. The most popular layouts for love include:

• "Your love".
• "Partner's attitude."
• "For love and relationships."
• “What is your loved one thinking about?”
• "He and she".
• "To be faithful."
• "Mirror".
• "New Relationships"
• "Attitude towards the querent."
• "Your relationship."
• "Eyes to eyes".
• "4 Aces 4 Tens."
• "What a man."
• “You and me.”
• "What's on the heart."

For each of them, the meaning and combination of playing cards during fortune telling practically does not change. Except that in the “Eye to Eye” layout, more full interpretation. Each card answers one very important question:

• Why does your partner like you?
• Secret thoughts and motives about you.
• What reaction does your partner expect from you?
• What does the partner expect?
• What happens if you reciprocate.
• What should you do?

For example, the first question shows a nine of hearts card. Of course, its main and fundamental meaning is love and sympathy. This card means that your partner sees you as an ideal couple. His heart is filled with love and tenderness for you. He likes you for your openness, honesty and ability to make surprises.

The meaning of combinations of 36 playing cards when fortune telling for love does not change for the heart and cross suits. But for diamonds and spades, there are some changes:

• 8 diamonds - an unsuccessful date, a quarrel with a loved one.
• The Jack of Diamonds is a lover, a pleasant guest.
• The Queen of Diamonds can mean betrayal or a mistress, especially if it stands next to the partner's card.
• 6th peak – separation, quarrel.
• 7th peak – tears, sadness.
• 8 of peaks - your feelings fade, cool down.
• Ace of spades can mean a love spell, betrayal, or a break in a relationship.

Meaning in fate scenarios

This type of fortune telling is performed extremely rarely. This is due to the fact that it makes no sense to perform destiny readings very often, because significant changes in a person’s life require a lot of time. They are recommended to be performed once a month. Let's look at fortune telling on playing cards, meanings and layouts for fate:

• "Rings".
• "Present and Future".
• "Horseshoe".
• "Witch Solitaire"
• " Butterfly".
• "Card Oracle"
• "Four fortunes."
• " Palm".
• "Fortune telling by Brown."
• "An upcoming event."
• "Next step".
• "Bucket of Destiny"
• "Personality characteristics."
• "All about me".
• “As good as it gets.”
• "Flower".
• "Patter".
• "For fate."
• "Problems and Fate."
• “What is happiness?”
• "Grandma's arrangement."
• "Card Solitaire"
• "Predictive Cross".
• "Human Analysis".
• " Seal".
• "Fate-fate."
• "Watch".

As a rule, fortune telling includes a large volume of cards and thereby complicates their interpretation. In general, the values ​​used are the same as in general layouts. The exceptions are some combinations:

• 4 aces and 4 tens in one layout is a lucky sign.
• 4 ladies - you are surrounded by gossips and enemies.
• 10 and 9 diamonds – receiving large sum money.
• The Queen of Spades and 9 of Hearts is an unexpected event.
• The 8th and 7th diamonds symbolize impermanence.
• Ace and 9 clubs - strong love.
• 10 hearts and 7 clubs promise pregnancy for women, and tears and sadness for men.
• King of Hearts and 6 of Spades - financial difficulties, losses, losses.

In order to better understand the meaning of fortune telling with playing cards in fate scenarios, let's look at an example.

In “Flower” fortune telling, the cards are laid out as shown in the image.

• 1 - denotes the essence of the situation itself - the root of the problem.
• 2-3 are obstacles that the querent will have to overcome.
• 4 – interim result, course of events.
• 5,6 and 7 – the outcome of the situation.

The meaning and combination of playing cards for fortune telling “Flower” will be as follows. The root of the problem is that, most likely, the querent is depressed (8 of peaks). This happened due to a blow from a loved one (ace of spades and 10 of diamonds). A stranger who cares about you (jack of hearts) can help in this situation. Most likely, the situation will end with this secret lover cheering you up, lifting your spirits and, perhaps, revealing his feelings (8 diamonds, 7 and 8 hearts).

Value for calculations for the period

This is another very important type of fortune telling, which is used to find out what awaits a person in a certain period of time. Allocations are made only for the future. The most popular are:

• "For a day."
• "For tomorrow".
• "For a week."
• "For a month".
• "For a year."

The layout methods and meanings of 36 playing cards in this case are practically no different from the general layouts. In this case, you should pay attention to the location of the card. Let's look at an example.

In this fortune telling, the first card shows the thoughts that will bother the querent today. 6 hearts will mean that you will be thinking about some kind of trip.

The second card shows the feelings and emotions that overwhelm the heart on this day. The queen of clubs indicates that the querent is thinking about the woman. She probably has something to do with the upcoming trip.

The third card shows the events that will happen to the fortuneteller on this day. 8 Clubs denotes a fateful and very important meeting. But given that the next card is 7 of spades, most likely such a meeting will bring tears, disappointment, and possibly a quarrel. Although, in fact, the fourth card in the layout represents desires, dreams and hopes, in this case it should be considered together with the previous one.

The fifth point is far-reaching plans. In this case, the king of diamonds indicates that a fair-haired man, possibly an official, will have a significant influence on the situation. For girls, such a card can symbolize a lover.

The last point shows the outcome of the event or what should be avoided. In this case, 6 spades is a rather negative card. Like the first, it also reflects a road or journey, but the alignment indicates that the trip will not be as good as we would like. Perhaps it will happen at night. Besides spades cards, which appear at the end of the fortune telling, indicate that it is best to abandon the plan. The meaning of playing cards for the future is quite simple to interpret. In this case, you should adhere to some rules:

• If there are many figure cards in the layout, it means that important events await the querent.
• Some items can be combined. This applies to cases where the cards do not carry deep meaning (6,7,8).
• If you cannot understand the meaning of a point, you need to ask what exactly you do not understand. After this, draw another card from the deck and place it side by side.

Four cards

We mentioned earlier that some cards should be interpreted in pairs. But besides this, there are some combinations that are always an exception. In some cases, it doesn’t even matter where they are located (next to each other or separately). In various layouts, the meaning of playing card combinations is much greater higher value than it may seem. This applies to those cases when all jacks, queens, kings, and aces fall out in one fortune telling. It does not matter at all what positions the cards occupy, but if they fall out together, then:

• Jacks in the reading mean that big and important things await the person.
• Ladies are gossip about the querent.
• Kings denote unexpected troubles, promotion in a career scenario.
• Aces in the layout are good sign, a symbol of happiness and good luck, especially in combination with the 10 of Clubs.

Other combinations

The meanings of 36 playing cards largely depend on which ones are located next to them. In some cases they give good hints or advice. This is especially true for situations where there are several cards per point. Let's look at an example:

This layout works as follows:

The deck must be thoroughly shuffled and all 36 cards laid out. Next, you need to find “your” card according to the following principle:

• for fair-haired girls - Queen of Hearts,
• for dark-haired people - Queen of Clubs,
• for fair-haired men – King of Hearts or King of Diamonds,
• for dark-haired people – King of Clubs.

The meanings of the “For Love” playing cards must be looked at side by side. In this case, around the queen of clubs, there are: king of diamonds, queen, 6 and on top 7 of spades. If we do not take into account the combinations, then we can conclude that the querent has a young man, he comes to her, but he also has another girl (the queen of diamonds). The 7th peak means that the couple may have quarrels and conflicts. But in this particular case, there is a queen of spades and an ace of spades near the top card. And this is a very bad combination.

Spades: 7, ace and queen mean curse, damage, slander. So the cards tell the fortuneteller that, most likely, her opponent is quite active.

Thus, the meaning of playing cards in love layouts should be interpreted very carefully. The most famous combinations:

• Ace of clubs with 7 clubs - victory.
• Ace of diamonds with 9 of spades - lies of loved ones.
• Ace of hearts and ace of spades are bad news.
• King of clubs and 8 of spades - treason.
• The King of Hearts and 6 of Hearts are a gift.

Fortune telling rules

Of course, when interpreting layouts, it is very important to take into account the meaning of the suits of playing cards and their combinations. But no less important is compliance with the fortune telling technique. There are certain rules that will help you get reliable and accurate answers to your questions:

• You cannot ask the same question more than once;
• if the cards show impossible events, postpone fortune telling, now is not the best time;
• To prevent cards from lying, they should not be given to anyone, thrown, or placed in a visible place;
• never tell fortunes in a bad mood, especially when irritated and angry, cards love only positive emotions;
• if cards fall out during shuffling, pick them up and be sure to look at their values;
• do not try to predict the result; while shuffling the cards, think only about the issue that worries you.

Of course, everyone can learn to guess with playing cards. Overall, this is an easy task. To make the ritual easier, keep a special notebook. Write down all the meanings and combinations of cards in it. Then, after each fortune-telling, you can write down the results, compare them with what is happening in life, and analyze them. The most important thing is to remember that cards are an assistant who can give advice and clarify the situation, but you need to act only by relying on yourself and your own strengths.

Whether you're new to tarot or a seasoned expert, choosing a tarot deck can be incredibly challenging. There are literally hundreds of different tarot decks to choose from, all with their own symbolism, energy, stories, mythology and artwork. So where to start? How do you sift through the many options to find your perfect tarot deck?

1. Seek a personal and intuitive connection with the cards

The absolute number 1 choice for choosing a tarot deck is the one that you personally and intuitively feel. Your best friend may recommend one deck that he likes, but if every time you read tarot with those cards you feel uncomfortable, then it is not the right deck for you. And if your tarot teacher uses the Rider Waite deck, but you are completely in love with the Fairytale Tarot cards, then take them.

If you have an esoteric store near you, stop by and take a look at all the decks they have. Ask yourself: what kind of energy are you getting from the deck? Is there a personal connection between you and Tarot cards? And if you're looking to purchase your tarot cards online, look at the card images to see if you have a connection.

2. Examine the images of each card

Take a look at the tarot cards in a particular deck. Find as many images as possible. What is your first reaction to the images? Do you like colors and images? Are there other deck options that are more attractive? Also, can you look at the cards and begin to understand the meaning behind each one? Look at the Major and Minor Arcana cards. In some decks, such as the Tarot de Marseille, the Minor Arcana cards do not have the same images and "story" as a Rider Waite deck, for example. It's important to see as many cards in the deck as possible because some tarot decks have a handful of great cards, but the rest of the deck isn't as attractive.

3. Determine your experience level

If you are new to tarot, you can start learning with the most popular tarot deck, the Rider Waite deck. It's easy to understand, the images are straight forward and practical, and there's a wealth of information for this deck. If you are more experienced or are looking for a new deck, you can choose a deck such as the Tato Tarot deck. Or a more abstract, mythical tarot deck. Are you fascinated by old traditional tarot decks such as Tarot de Marseille, Tarot Visconti? Or do you prefer modern (and often independent) tarot decks?

4. Find the size that fits

Tarot cards come in different sizes. You should choose the size that suits you. Giant tarot cards can be great for group readings or tarot parties. Regular cards Tarot may be better for personal readings for a client or personal readings. And mini tarot cards are perfect to throw in your purse for on-the-go tarot readings. If the cards are too big or too small, they may be too inconvenient for you or your customers. Therefore, before choosing a deck, hold the cards and shuffle them.

Think about what tarot lessons you want to take. Are you trying to find peace and tranquility in your life? Then Tarot Osho Zen might be the perfect deck for you. Do you want to connect with your inner goddess? Consider the mythical goddess tarot or Goddess tarot decks. Do you have a passion for rituals and practices on earth? Check out the Druid Tarot deck.

The great thing is that with so many tarot decks available, you can find a deck that is perfect for your personal needs and desires. And if you're a professional tarot expert, consider getting a few different tarot decks, depending on what works best for your client and the situation.

The cards, just like you, need to take a vacation.

Never guess unnecessarily, because you have nothing to do.

Under no circumstances should you guess without desire. If you feel an inner mood to communicate with cards, it is better not to pick them up.

Do not do more than 6 - 7 layouts a day, otherwise the cards will begin to lie.

If the cards give you an unclear answer or you cannot read the cards, it is better to postpone fortune telling. In the same way, when shuffling the deck, cards keep falling out of your hands, the prediction is unlikely to be clear.

At night, it is better to refrain from fortune telling, especially if you have little experience in fortune telling; night is associated with certain dark forces. You can’t do this on Sunday and especially church holidays. It is also not recommended to guess when the moon is waning.

P.S. Never guess unnecessarily or out of boredom, otherwise the cards will not serve you, but you will serve the cards!

Recommendations given are not ironclad rules. You are free to choose which of them you like and which to refuse. Over time, you may develop your own traditions. But all the recommendations should not be neglected, since they also did not arise out of nowhere, but were formed over centuries.

About playing cards

The time has come to buy playing cards and you are faced with the question of which cards to choose? There are many manufacturing companies, prices differ by 2, 3 4.... and up to 10 times per deck of cards, but how to choose exactly the one you need? First of all, you must understand how you will use it? Do you need playing cards for poker, cards for playing the fool, cards for preference, cards for tricks, for fortune telling (TAROT) or do you collect unusual playing cards and want to buy another deck for your collection?

Regular playing cards

These are playing cards that do not have additional properties and are intended for the unpretentious buyer. These include cards of any size or size that are supplied with poker sets by manufacturers. They are suitable for playing fool, drunkard, playing solitaire and even poker. But when playing poker, a lot of stress is placed on the corners of playing cards and such cards can be easily damaged. Poker is, first of all, a game of interest, in which any little thing can become a hint for your opponent, not to mention a damaged playing card. If you are planning to play poker in the evening and you only have one deck of regular playing cards, then there is a high probability that in the heat of excitement you will damage one of the cards and there will be nothing to replace it with.

Playing cards for tricks

Playing cards for tricks differ in the surface of the playing card. It should have a special coating so that cards lying on top of each other can slide easily. and are presented in the assortment of Bicycle, Bee, . Of course, with such cards you can play poker, play the fool and play solitaire, but for playing the fool they are expensive, and for poker they do not have the necessary degree of wear resistance. Some such decks are equipped with special cards that are used in certain tricks, have an inconspicuous trapezoidal shape, and may have special markings on the back of the playing card so that you can guess the suit and value of the card. They can be designed, when each playing card has its own individual design; such cards are more suitable for collections, but are also often used for tricks. Poker or other games are inconvenient to play.

Playing cards for preference

Playing cards for poker

Good cards are of great importance in any poker game. There are two main types of playing cards, plastic-coated (paper). These cards have two important differences: quality and durability. Playing cards with a plastic coating will not last as long as cards made of 100% plastic and this must be taken into account when purchasing playing cards. Such cards are used in US casinos, played a small number of hands and replaced with a new deck. For a casino, this is a small cost and at one table, during the evening, 3-4 or more decks of playing cards can be used. For regular players, this is an expensive proposition, so it is wiser to buy 100% plastic playing cards. But besides the material from which poker cards are made, there are other characteristics that will be discussed in this article.

Magnum- A giant designation of the suit and value of a playing card, used for the visually impaired. .

Peek index- This type of designation of the suit and value of a playing card is convenient for playing poker if you are playing at a table where there are many opponents next to you, to see which playing card you got when dealt and to minimize the likelihood that your cards will be seen neighbour.

Playing Card Colors

We are all accustomed to the fact that standard playing cards have red and black suit colors. This is partly true, only the red color in playing cards may differ. Professional gambling establishments prefer to use a darker (calmer) red color so that it does not irritate or strain players. It happens that manufacturers use a bright red color; for those who play at home, there is not much difference.

For home games there were decks where each suit had its own color. So hearts are red, diamonds are blue, hearts are green, spades are black. Such decks are also found in the Regular index version - playing cards are supplied in double packaging and Peek index - playing cards in double packaging.

Playing card backs

Each playing card manufacturer has its own branded back. Depending on partnership agreements, or the corporate logo of the casino for which these cards were issued. Manufacturer Modiano (Italy) offers lines with, but this is rather an exception, usually 2 or 4 colors reverse side cards. Also, the playing card back is distinguished by the presence of a white stripe along the edges or a solid pattern on the playing card back.

Surface of a plastic playing card

Pay attention to the surface of the playing card, it should be rough. High-quality playing cards have a rough surface, if you are offered to buy expensive (from 400-450 rubles per deck of cards) 100% plastic playing cards with a smooth card surface, it will most likely be a bad deck. Even if it has the logo of a famous poker brand or the logo of a good manufacturer. Unfortunately, playing cards are also being counterfeited.

Playing card manufacturers

Playing cards are produced all over the world: China, India, USA, Brazil, Belgium, Italy, Spain... But really good manufacturers can be counted on one hand. Chinese and Indian playing cards are inexpensive and not of exceptional quality. There are good and inexpensive 100% plastic playing cards from such manufacturers, but they are not yet ready to compete with the world's leading brands. These include the USPCC (USA), which produces the Bicycle, Tally Ho, Bee, Aviator and others. There is only one type of 100% plastic playing cards in the USPCC line () , these cards are mainly intended for tricks, calm card games and collecting. Playing cards for professional casinos are produced by Copag (Brazil, Belgium), Modiano (Italy). These are the main manufacturers. But their decks are also different. If you take standard decks of playing cards, they will differ in weight. The lightest ones will be Copag; they have thinner plastic, which is convenient for mixing and dispensing. Modiano cards have the hardest plastic among the listed manufacturers; they are less convenient for shuffling, but when used large table, You will have no problem delivering the playing card to the furthest player. Fournier cards have medium-hard plastic.

When playing poker, ensure that the plastic card does not have contact with the hard surface of the table. Mechanical impact from glass, plastic or wood will quickly erase the design from the surface of the card or playing card back and over time, the card will become “marked” and the deck will need to be replaced. If you stain a plastic playing card, you can safely wipe it with a damp cloth.
