The location is divided into two large groups:
Strong attention is paid to the combinations that appear. All cards in combination with each other can enhance the meaning or, conversely, weaken it.
It is important to remember that cards belong to one suit or another, because each suit is a specific area of human life. Let's look at each one.
A beginner practitioner needs to read this section more carefully. Traditional rituals improve the quality of fortune telling and form a proper attitude towards the process.
Grandmother's layout helps predict love relationships, the near future, and the possibility of receiving money. There are several ways to do this, but they all have one rule in common: setting a significator. If the person of interest is a man, the king piece is chosen, if the person is a woman - queens. The color is chosen based on appearance:
The suit of spades is not used by the significator in fortune telling using the grandmother's method. Shuffle the deck with thoughts about the chosen person. You can guess for yourself, to do this, ask a specific question. Let's look at grandma's layout in examples.
After shuffling, the deck is placed in front of you or on your right palm. Using the little finger of your left hand, you remove part of the stack (towards you) and insert it back in an arbitrary manner. Next, three cards are removed from the top and laid out in three vertical rows.
Counting is done from left to right, and triplets are placed from top to bottom. The first column refers to the past, the second to the present, and the third to the future.
In the presented layout, the significator (queen of hearts) is located in the second row. Two eights in the neighborhood will tell information about the current state of affairs of the fortune-telling object. More often, only the triplet with the hidden figure is deciphered.
Let's decipher grandma's layout using the first method.
The method is original in its form - the grandmother’s layout resembles a cross. A playing card - a significator - is selected and placed face down in the center of the table. Cards located before and after the significator are removed from the deck. The first one is placed down, and the second one is placed on top (both face down). The rest are laid out in small piles according to the cardinal directions. First south, then north, west and east. The order is observed, three cards are removed from each part from above - one on the table, two are placed on it.
The rest of the deck is distributed in a similar way, but between the edges of the “cross”. The stage should start between the west and south. Move clockwise.
To decipher, use the playing cards located on the right side of the diagonal triplets.

Magic rituals require respect. Focus is your best friend. A serious attitude towards the reading and a desire to understand the secrets of fortune-telling will help to perform a ritual of high quality. By learning simple rules and learning to correctly interpret the meanings of cards, you will gain an advantage over the “uninitiated.” Remember: it’s easier to learn magic when you sincerely believe in it.
As soon as people did not guess: by the wind, and by the flame, and by the soaring of birds... But the cards came, and they forgot about the ancient fortune-telling.
Fortune telling using playing cards or Tarot is an effective way to predict the future. When starting to cast divination on cards, you will first need to become familiar with their meanings.
Before giving an answer to the designation of the card symbol, it will be necessary to tell a secret: there is no unique meaning for each of the cards. Gypsy training in card fortune telling was not a guide to Tarot fortune telling.
A gypsy girl, holding her breath and hiding behind the curtain, spies on the fortune-telling going on with her mother or grandmother. One time the gypsy will call the ace of spades death, and in another case the fortune telling will threaten prison.
However, there is also a simplified interpretation that is suitable for beginners and those who like to tell fortunes using classic simple layouts.
Playing cards and images of the Tarot arcana - they could be compared to a sea map cut into pieces. By combining the cards in a spread, the fortune teller lays out a map of the course of the upcoming fate. Looking at them, he sees not the information that the pictures mean, but life path what will happen in general.
How to tell fortunes with cards? It will be necessary to consider them in a cause-and-effect chain.
How are playing cards different from Tarot? Lack of major arcana. Playing cards can't see too far into the future. But their fortune-telling of the near future was always better than in Tarot.
Card suits indicate the degree of their elemental influence.
Playing cards have an advantage over Tarot: they indicate the approximate appearance of a person. Let it be very conditional, but during fortune telling it becomes possible to guess about a specific person.
There is, like Tarot cards, in playing cards a difference in fortune telling depending on the position of the cards.
Each of the cards has several interpretations; their selection occurs intuitively and according to the general context. As was said before: the meaning of playing cards and Tarot is the same, but there are no major arcana.
Below are 52 values because they include 36 characters in simple fortune telling and 52 for complex. This does not mean that fortune telling with a deck of 36 cards is easier than with 52 cards. It is possible that it is even more difficult than fortune telling with Tarot.
Ace. Symbol of authority. Hence the meanings: if there is money, then the bank; if there is power, then the federal level. If it’s a gift, then it’s worth a million. If commercial success, then super profit. And if ruin, then into poverty. If love, then all-consuming passion. And if there are tender feelings, then forever. If it’s a road, then it’s thousands of miles away.
King. Masculinity and fire are their combination for a warrior. Gypsy interpretation: loyalty to a friend, a soldier or a law enforcement official. The symbol is characterized by black and white tones interpretation. If it's bad, it's very bad; if it's good, it's simply excellent. The most “masculine” of the 52 cards.
Lady. Femininity and fire are the nature of contradiction. It means a wealthy woman, legal troubles, help from a friend.
Jack. A soldier, no higher than a warrant officer, a recent acquaintance, the bearer of unexpected news. If a jack divides two queens, it means the wife’s infidelity. The combination of fire and development symbolizes rapid growth.
"10". Meaning: mental work, educational journey. Thanks to your awakened intuition, you will be lucky in gambling. Thanks to the awakening of internal forces, victory over an illness that may have been considered incurable is possible.
"9". The combination with fire is characterized by one word “too”. If an inheritance is such wealth that you are at a loss: what to do with it? If it’s a stock exchange transaction, then from poor to rich in one go. If buying real estate, then expensive apartments. With such vibration, you can’t have a little “party” - perhaps then for a year you will remember the party.
"8". The fire element gives unprecedented strength. Meanings: solid business, stable success, successful marriages, if you receive an inheritance, then successfully invest the funds in business projects.
"7". Encourages fanaticism, which helps experts in uncovering natural secrets and in technical creativity.
"6". It deservedly gives grounds for ambition - there are chances to reach the planned heights.
"5". This card is a muse for artists and writers.
"4". Fire has a positive effect on this vibration: thanks to the “creative spark,” a scientific or artistic victory is achieved, worthy of high recognition and awards.
"3". Gives impetus to commercial and scientific projects, which are ensured long life and development.
"2". Fire with this vibration ensures a reliable and lasting union.
Ace. The element of Earth, influencing the vibration of the ace, can paint a figurative picture of an unshakable rock or stone wall: in marriage, relationships are not sensual, but stable. If business, then trade in cars, jewelry, rare and expensive goods.
King. For women, vibration in the element of Earth means one thing: Ideal Man. The card favors the launch of long-term projects in any area of human existence.
Lady. Stable stability. Not all male revelers can bear it. This is only for Serious relationships. It is possible that nights with a “lady” are not so exciting, but they are an ideal hostess. The chosen one will always be washed, hemmed and fed. And at least three wonderful children will be born.
Jack. The energy of unshakable change. Like the growth of a tree: from year to year it grows stronger and taller. This applies to relationships, business, and position in society.
"10". Heyday: relationships, income, position in society. A wonderful state of stable happiness. It seems that there will be no end to a cloudless life.
"9". Means excess income. Not as a result of winning, when money came easily, easily went. This is a solid enterprise for years. Family relationships can also be called ideal - the spouses not only do not know the needs, but they are also interested in each other.
"8". Down-to-earth and pragmatism in the Earth element is a period of stagnation.
"7". Circumstances when things seem to go by themselves. Happy coincidences happen for business projects.
"6". Harmony and balance are favorable for the Earth: things go as planned.
"5". Prerequisites for strong hobbies, even addiction.
"4". Four and Earth seem to be made for each other, the desired fruits of relationships and business arise.
"3". If things were in chaos, then Earth and the troika will restore normalcy even in the worst situations.
"2". Favors marriages, friendships for years.
Ace. The vibration of the ace and the air element is like an oncoming hurricane. If it comes to feelings, then this is passionate love. If it is a business, then enthusiasm at the beginning of the journey will help in the implementation of the project. If it concerns society, a person will flash as a supernova.
King. Gypsy meaning: Masculinity and Air resemble a soap bubble: large and important, but empty inside. These inflated values and inflated problems do not deserve attention.
Lady. If we want to describe the mystery of female nature, then the words will do: Femininity and Air. Unpredictability, sudden changes in mood and desire.
Jack. Things will go great if you “feel” for a favorable flow of circumstances. It is enough to be on time and in the right place, and business affairs will improve.
"10". Airy Perfection. If it’s love, then it’s platonic; if it’s success in business, then it’s on paper. Dreams and castles in the air. They are wonderful, but not always feasible.
"9". Everyone likes to be under the sign of the card. Huge and rich bonuses fly into your hands. Just like that, because you are the Minion of Fate.
"8". Pragmatism and Air do not combine well, and therefore lead to speculation, gossip and slander.
"7". Often under the map are those who have gone through a difficult path of trials. The one who has passed through receives an insight that “inspires” him. The most “spiritual” of the 52 playing cards.
"6". The vibrations of the six inhibit the action of Air. There may be a delay in the development of the case, a temporary disagreement, or being ignored by society.
"5". Air and five give rise to an interesting meaning; it is popularly greeted with a toast “so that we have everything, and we don’t have to pay anything for it.” Successful adventurism, adventure.
"4". A situation of wasted effort. For example, a person worked long and hard on a project, but when he brought the work in for review, he was rejected - no longer needed.
"3". Harmony with the world in the element of Air is, first of all, conception, the beginning of a new life.
"2". Two and Air: slight sympathy.
Ace. The meaning is also highlighted in the Tarot. Water and Power are like a flood. Loss of relationships, freedom, funds or health.
King. Water and Masculinity can mean a person who has power over you. The person who puts a comma in the phrase “execute cannot be pardoned!”
Lady. Femininity and Water are a dangerous combination for cards - cunning, treachery, cruelty. Always unexpected and shocking.
Jack. Development and Water. If you “go with the flow,” then this is a lucky coincidence. If you have to go “against the grain,” then the jack from an ally’s cards turns into enemy cards.
A combination of king, queen and jack. Masculinity, Femininity, Development and Water - the combination can be called the “hand of God”; these forces can get you out of any trouble.
"10". Meaning: perfect change. If it is a disease, then it is progressive. If it’s a business, then fabulous profits; if a relationship, it’s love to the point of self-sacrifice.
"9". A resonance occurs, the meaning of such cards acts positively. No matter how bad things turn out, there is an answer to this: “everything that happens is for the better!”
"8". Map of the inevitable. It is impossible to influence the course of events.
"7". Spirituality and Water are antagonists. Loss cards. Usually they are afraid of the ace of spades. But in an ace, the danger is only in strength, which can also help. The seven of spades is the most undesirable of the 52 cards.
"6". A map of exciting stability. They say about this state: “darlings scold - they just amuse themselves”
"5". Map of deception. Great meeting with scammers and swindlers.
"4". Card of hard work. The work is not easy, but it will bear fruit.
"3". Unrest, instability. Sometimes, to solve this problem you will have to change your place of residence or work.
"2". Destruction of unions: quarrels, divorces, breaking of partnership agreements.
It’s up to you to decide which meaning to choose when doing fortune telling: classic or extended. In both cases, rely on your intuition! Author: Igor Vaskin
