Meaning of Cards (French Cartomancy, Poker)
The Aces indicate beginnings, they have a traditional meaning, which until now people
have learned by heart. These are incorporated below.
Ace of Diamonds: Money. A letter. Something new, usually related to finances, but not
invariable. Fire. A diamond ring, but the accompanying letters must corroborate that
interpretation.
Ace of Hearts: Home. The family or a family member. The beginning of a love
relationship or a new friendship. Sometimes a birth or someone joining the family, or a
change of residence (because Aces indicate beginnings). These interpretations are
usually with the help of other cards.
Ace of Spades: A decision, usually very important. A death or an end. A great change.
(Note: It is possible to see the physical death of a person but it is not recommended to
mention it due to possible errors. To see it in the cards, there usually have to be three or
four Spades cards together - such as the 3 (loss), 5 (illness, discomfort, the doctor), 7
(tears), 9 (change for the worse), or 10 (worry, grief) - along with the Ace of Spades.)
