Five of Clubs

"The Five of Clubs warns that care must be taken to avoid a rift between friends. There is danger of a quarrel that will cause the Querent grief unless he takes steps to prevent it. This is not a lover's tiff or a disagreement between husband and wife. The quarrel is much more likely to be between the Querent and a person of his own sex unless a face card representing the opposite sex lies next to the The Five of Clubs. 


"This card symbolizes rivalry, competition, strife and jealousy. It warns the Querent not to flaunt his own success or to resent the social success of others. Should the The Five of Clubs appear in the middle of the spread, the Querent may find hidden hostilities among his associates which he does not suspect. Unless he guards his temper and shows unusual consideration, he may suffer a social setback and alienate individuals whose friendship he cherishes. The prominence of the position of the card in the spread is an indication of the serious after-effects of a quarrel which may seem insignificant in its early stages. 

"If the The Five of Clubs appears on the upper wings of the spread, the quarrel is one which can be avoided and the other cards in the wing should direct the Reader in guiding the Querent away from a situation which can only bring sorrow and regret. 

"If the The Five of Clubs appears on the lower wings of the spread, the quarrel is much more likely to relate to a specific matter. In this case the ill will of another, not necessarily an intimate, may cause the Querent to be disappointed in some project of a social nature which is of importance to him. In the lower left wing, this lack of success may spring from a set of circumstances for which no one individual is responsible and, if this is the case, the Querent should be warned not to attempt to place blame. Actually a seeming loss of prestige may have beneficial results, which may be made known through the cards adjoining the The Five of Clubs."

Reading #8: P. L.

The deck used was the Cat and Canary pack. They were spread remotely. The spread is as shown above and laid out in the directions given by Wenzell Brown in his book How to Tell Fortunes With Cards .  Center Card : "By and large, the central card (number 1) represents either the Querent (the sitter), his personality and the nature of his problems, or the primary influences which are moving through his life at the present moment." Three of Hearts "The Three of Hearts represents a disappointment in love, a minor setback in one's plans or an error in judgement. The appearance of the Three of Hearts is a warning that the pathway ahead is not straight, that there are pitfalls lying there to trip the unwary.  "The Three of Hearts may also warn of self-delusion. The Querent may have a subconscious knowledge that he is handicapping himself or causing himself unhappiness by his reluctance to make changes. For a variety of reasons he may be loath to face the situation or h...

Reading #6: B. S.

The deck used is the The Valet deck. They were spread remotely and recreated on my board at home. As I get further into this exercise I plan to eliminate the laborious details of each card's meaning and instead only include the details pertinent to the spread and any relevant rejoinders while linking to the card at hand. The spread is as shown above and laid out in the directions given by Wenzell Brown in his book How to Tell Fortunes With Cards.  Center Card :  "By and large, the central card (number 1) represents either the Querent (the sitter), his personality and the nature of his problems, or the primary influences which are moving through his life at the present moment." Ace of Clubs "The Ace of Clubs is a card of talent. It tells of high hopes and ambitions and denotes strong passions, imagination, energy and the power to communicate with others. Inherent in the card, however, is the suggestion that promises are unfulfilled, talents unchanneled, and the maximu...

Reading #9: M. M.

The deck used was the Dun Huang pack. They were spread remotely. The spread is as shown above and laid out in the directions given by Wenzell Brown in his book How to Tell Fortunes With Cards .  I've altered my schema for this reading by only including the pertinent information for each card instead of highlighting it as in past readings. The meanings of each card can be found either in the click through link in the first mention of each in the synopsis or by searching for each card on the blog. Center Card :  "By and large, the central card (number 1) represents either the Querent (the sitter), his personality and the nature of his problems, or the primary influences which are moving through his life at the present moment."
