Have you ever wanted to consult a psychic? Card readers have been around since Egypt. Consider this an exercise to tap into your spiritual intuition and gain insight to influences going on in your life, by using a simple deck of playing cards.
Numerology is an important element in divining with cards. We know that all things in the Universe are subjected to the rule of numbers. Mathematics are the basis for scientist to understand everything from the movement of planets to the structure of physical bodies. Numbers are a sort of universal language that transcend race or language. Think about that. If you are in Africa, China, or Alaska a 3 is still equal to 3 no matter how it is written or said. In this reading we will use a regular deck of playing cards where each card is given a meaning and the order that each card is revealed will answer the question you have on your mind.
First, you must decide on a question. It doesn't have to be a "yes" or "no" question but avoid getting too complicated. Some examples of appropriate questions are:
Will my life change soon
Should I take the job with the airlines
Should we go to Hawaii for our honeymoon
Will I marry more than once
What are my most positive behavior patterns
Think of each reading as an opportunity to focus on what you want and what you need to do to achieve your goals. It is an opportunity to meditate and better understand the answers to your destiny. The cards are a tool to focus your energy. Science tells us that coincidence is not coincidence at all. Events can be explained mathematically like the sequence of seasons and the movement of planets. The cards will reveal a glimpse of forces of nature surrounding you. Then by you becoming aware of these forces you are in contact with your destiny.
The following is a simple "Five Card Spread". The two joker cards are not needed and should be removed from the deck. Shuffle the remaining cards while thinking of your question. Cut the cards with your left hand to the left, making three piles. Now re-stack the cards with the same hand from right to left. Turn over the first card and lay it face up on the table. Follow with four more cards laying each to the right of the first. The following explains what question the cards are answering.
Position One - The first card re-establishes your question. This card will clarify your subconscious question and sharply define it. If you ask about money don't be surprised if the card is the suit of "Diamonds", asking about love, it may be the suit of "Hearts", career is represented by "Clubs" and health is the suit of "Swords".
Position Two - Turn the second card and place it to the right of the first. This card addresses the past events leading to your circumstance and possibly explains why you are asking this question.
Position Three - The third card goes to the right of the second and symbolizes you, the questioner. It will indicate how you are handling yourself so far, what your strengths or weaknesses are.
Position Four - The fourth card continues to the right of the third and symbolizes surrounding influences happening now. Specifically this card may indicate influences of family, your significant other or your peers. It may give you a clue to what you need to strive for or against.
Position Five - The fifth and final card tells how the question should be handled. The appropriate response will be symbolized by the interpretation of this card. Please review that last sentence. YOUR INTERPRETATION is paramount in answering the question. Naturally if you see all cards in the suit of "Swords" you might want to think about what you are doing to bring on such negative karma but this is the advantage of seeing the cards and becoming aware that you might be sabotaging yourself.
The following is an outline of what each card means and what a particular combination of cards could be trying to tell you. Remember that card readers rely on a spiritual connection to the universe symbolized by numbers, symbols, colors, etc. If the usual interpretation of a 9 of Swords is a warning of trouble in business or a bad time to travel, but your lucky number is 9, then your interpretation and your gut feeling should be considered as a guiding force. If you have Tarot cards and want to use them in place of the regular deck that is perfectly fine. I use tarot cards too but I wanted to make this exercise in card reading available to everyone and most people have a plain deck of playing cards. The most important thing is to have fun with it!
