Seven of Diamonds

"The Seven of Diamonds is often a card of distress. It represents an unresolved problem weighing upon the Querent. Usually it involves finances although it may relate to domestic or business situations in which monetary matters are of secondary importance. Often there is a delayed decision. Circumstances which obscure the real issues of the problem make a solution difficult.

"When the Seven of Diamonds lies in the middle of the spread it may represent a problem which casts a shadow over the Querent's life and is preventing his progress towards the goals he desires. When this is so, it may be that the problem is not as difficult of a solution as it appears, that the hazard can be removed or, at least, progress need not be delayed by the uncertainty which the dilemma creates. The nature of the problems will be suggested by the remaining cards in the spread.

"Where the Seven of Diamonds is prominent in the spread, the utmost tact is required on the part of the Reader. If he notices that the Querent is unduly agitated, he should do what he can to calm him down. He should avoid giving too concrete advice, but should discuss the problem in general terms. The cards should guide him in finding material helpful to the Querent in establishing attitudes which will enable him to act according to his best judgment.

"Frequently the Querent is voluble in his desire to discuss his problem and presses the Reader for direct answers. When this occurs, the Reader should draw attention to the strong cards in the spread, those that indicate qualities such as generosity, courage in the face of adversity, the capacity to form friendships, etc. The Querent should then be advised to explore the ways in which these characteristics can be used to his benefit.

"Where the Seven of Diamonds appears on the upper wings of the spread, the indication is that a distressing situation may arise, but that it can be avoided or minimized if the Querent recognizes it in time. If the Seven of Diamonds is found in the lower wings of the spread, the problem may involve the Querent only indirectly. For instance, misfortune may befall a friend or circumstances may cause disturbances in his employment, his social activities or his business interests.

"Inherent in the Seven of Diamonds is the possibility of advantageous solution. This card does not mark catastrophe, but a problem and the need to chart a course of action. If strong cards lie beyond the Seven of Diamonds, there is a promise that benefits may arise out of a period if discomfort or anxiety which could not have occurred otherwise."

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...

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.
