PLAYING CARDS: LADY OF TREF

Like the Queen of Wands in the Tarot symbolize a powerful status woman, she is a wise and experienced person and it is better if you play on her side. In the tradition of fortune telling on a playing deck, the Lady of Clubs has a very good meaning, she is smart, attractive, witty, insightful and independent. If near came out Diamonds cards, then, most likely, we are talking about a colleague or boss, if peak- something about a woman with whom the Questioner has a strained relationship (for example, a mother-in-law or mother-in-law, a neighbor). V negative aspect The Lady of Clubs talks about the troubles associated with the court. The questioner cannot influence the problems that go on this card. If the Lady of Clubs fell for a relationship , it means that they are far from sincere and open; each of the partners tries to dominate, because there are frequent quarrels, and the partners also hide something from each other. A certain person interferes with the relationship.

In terms of work and business The lady of clubs symbolizes leadership ambitions, authority, competence, and the ability to persuade. The questioner is a good organizer, orator, shows himself well in matters where skill, ingenuity, quick reaction are required. In a negative aspect, the Lady of Clubs warns against intrigue at work. You are being watched and any mistake you make will be used by a business partner or colleague to get you out of the way. In your environment there is a two-faced person who deceives you and prepares meanness.

Lady of Clubs points to a person who older in age and more experienced than the Questioner.

Her partner is the King of Clubs (Clouds), and their child is Jack of Clubs (Whip and Scourge). The family is, frankly, not a pleasant one. And it is very bad when these cards fall out together in the layout. Usually these are people in power, having leverage, malicious, aggressive in nature and, moreover, negatively disposed towards the Questioner

If the question was directly about the presence of another woman, the answer is yes, without any confirmation.

1. Enemy:

The Serpent card is a symbol of the enemy, a person who builds an intrigue against you, digs under you, uses you for his own purposes, deceives, but at the same time is hypocritical and flattering. The enemy under this card can be either overt or covert, especially if the next card is Clouds or Fish, Tree , also helps the enemy remain unidentified for a long time.

Therefore, this card also goes to cancer patients. Along with other "deadly" cards (Scythe, Coffin, Cross, Tree and Anchor inverted ) may indicate an unfavorable outcome.

The snake itself is a symbol of wisdom.

From positive qualities the card itself can indicate a flexible mind, diplomacy, cunning, dexterity, resourcefulness. It is difficult to squeeze a person, he wriggles like in a frying pan

1. Temptation, temptation:

Any temptations and suggestions for this card are fraught with losses. And it is better to starve than to eat just about anything, and it is better to be alone than with just anyone. Very often these are mistresses who destroy families, and then arrange 7 circles of hell for a man that he would already be glad to return to his wife and children, but he is not allowed back.

1. Human:

Take a good look around. A certain, intelligent person is watching you vigilantly. The Snake card often indicates another woman who appears in your question and has some influence on the situation. First of all, this is her husband's mistress, a secret girlfriend of your MCH, with whom he has sex, he can think about her or she is active, because wants to take it away from you.

The second most frequent is the meaning - the ex-wife, who actively manifests herself and also wants something from the man. A mother-in-law who does not approve of the choice of her son and tries to ruin the family; a work colleague or even a sister, but this issue your paths have crossed,

18. Yoga, Esoterics:

Esotericism, occult secret knowledge also goes along this map, especially combined with the Book and Tree card.

COMPARISON WITH SIMILAR VALUES :

Snake card intersects by value with fox card, it is also hypocrisy, flattery, they want to appropriate something of yours, but The snake is more dangerous and poisonous, the damage and pain from her is greater than from Lisa. In any case, this was observed in my practice. The mistress on the Fox card is much less dangerous than on the Serpent card, this is already a very serious matter!

Lilies and Snake - both cards are associated with sex and eroticism, but if Lilies is a card of sublime relationships, a deep feeling of each other, then the Snake is an animal that drives magnetism and attraction crazy. This is closer to the Bear card, which also indicates sex as an animal intercourse , but rude, while on the map the Snake is an exquisite process, refined pleasure and a sophisticated partner who knows how to evoke strong sex drive and cravings. Snake sex is also close to the map Rods (Broom and Whip), but in the rods - this is already a deviant relationship of the BDSM type. Another sex map Rats , but unlike the Snake, sex here is dirty, both in terms of preferences and in terms of partners (prostitution, the lower classes of society are both cheap and affordable way satisfy your lust). The Fox card is also responsible for sex, but these are such one-time connections with girls or with a seductive secretary.

MAGIC. DAMAGE AND NEGATIVE:

The snake is a magic card, it indicates damage, love spells and everything that can destroy your life. When asked about the presence of negative - yes, there is. An envious woman is spoiling.

ANSWER YES - NO:

If the answer is Yes-No, the Snake gives Negative answer , although they will never sound it directly to you, they will twist out like in a frying pan and promise something sweet that just about, as soon as so immediately, and many other streamlined phrases, because of which you, hoping, will lose time

RELATIONSHIP AND LOVE:

Being associated with betrayal in a relationship, the Snake often indicates illegal sex (cheating a partner or adultery) and various sexual temptations. The threat of treason and separation due to temptation. If the question is about how will the relationship work out the Snake card comes out, then this suggests that such a relationship will end treason and betrayal, if the fact of treason is known and so, then the card indicates that the relationship on the side will continue. Having a jealous and dangerous woman as a third party in a couple. Characterizing relationships, the Snake indicates that they are built on sex or through sex they receive additional benefits (career, money, help and patronage), sex as a lever of control, gaining power. But at the same time there is a strong animal craving, no matter what. Intoxicating passion, animal sex, people literally drink each other, acute pleasure, strong addiction like drug addiction, drink and cannot get enough of each other. Such a connection can be remembered for a lifetime. Often, the Snake, as a cold-blooded animal, a reptile, indicates a cold calculation in a relationship. If the alignment was made for a free person , then this card warns that there is a risk of becoming dependent on another, one who has great attractive power. On the attitude of a man to a woman can say that he just wants to fuck, and it is in this formulation, tk. this card is far from sentimentality and tender preludes of loving partners as in Lily's card.

Sexual relationships that are not nourished by feelings, especially if there are Bear, Rats, Fox next to the card - they reinforce the theme of "animal sex" without any romance or affection between people. There is no pair as such. Only mating. Next to Rat or Scourge Serpent cards may indicate sexual problems and perversion, dirty sex, sexual domination, rape.

Good prospects are possible only if the Serpent's cards of stability and reliability overlap - House, Ring, Heart, Stork, then the relationship can develop into love and end in marriage. A man sees you not only as sexually attractive, but also as a wise woman, somewhat similar to his mother. Although even with good luck the forecast with the Snake map is not the most rosy, because all the same, the background will be constantly suspicion and jealousy.

For married couple the Snake card says that a certain female person interferes in the family's affairs, this is not necessarily a mistress, it may be a neighbor or a childhood friend who has an influence on your husband, but most often it is a grandmother or mother, who, regardless of her goals can harm the family. If the question was about what this person in bed , then the Snake is a very good card - this is a skillful lover or mistress who will give you sensual refined unforgettable sex, the danger is that you can hypnotically fall in love with this person and become addicted, you cannot resist. To the question "What is hiding "- hides treason.

HEALTH AND MEDICINE:

MONEY:

On matters of money, the Snake card calls you to be careful, you can be drawn into some kind of scam, a financial pyramid, they are trying to deceive. Money problems, financial fraud, embezzlement and misappropriation of money.

JOB, CAREER, BUSINESS:

On the positive side - this card can portend career assistance from adult woman, but since nothing is done just like that and you have to pay for everything, such a service can go sideways for you. And the one who provided assistance will cause damage later. Usually, the Snake card warns that at work they are digging under you, hooking up, wanting to displace, looking for a reason for dismissal. Beware of intrigues behind your back, which can ruin your reputation. The bosses may look for a reason to fire you or transfer to another position, but not finding a real reason, they will try to falsify it in such a way as to substitute it for you. Who is cheating and for what purpose will be seen from the nearby cards and their sequence in the layout.

PROFESSION:

PERSONALITY:

The most striking example of the person under the Serpent card is the image of Mata Hari, an exotic dancer, a spy who used her sexuality and attractiveness, through sex, approached many prominent politicians and fished for secrets.

The person under the Serpent card is as attractive as he is dangerous. It is good to learn from such people, but it is better to keep away from them.

Outwardly, on the map of the Snake there are tall, slender people, with dark hair, usually over 30 years old.

Usually under this card are women - fatal beauties, sexy seductresses, bitches.

INTERCOOLING IN THE ROOM:

The falling out of the Serpent card in the layout is a warning, from the adjacent cards you can understand in which area you need to be on your guard. The Serpent card speaks of betrayal and pain, the closer it fell to the Personal Card, the more actively protective measures must be taken and the more careful one should behave. The further this card is from the PC, the better, but if the Snake fell out in the layout, you still need to study the nearby cards in order to understand which side and from whom to expect a blow. If a card lying next to it says that a person from a close circle will betray, then a far-fallen card warns of treacherous behavior on the part of unfamiliar or strangers, be on the alert when someone rings the doorbell, do not be gullible even if you are sure that the other is not plotting against you. This is the insidiousness of the Snake - the blow will be from where you least expect. This is almost always unexpected and unexpected.

For a man, the Snake in the layout suggests that in his environment there is a certain attractive appearance a person who enters his life, she may want to get this man for herself, is jealous of him for a constant partner and wants to break this relationship.

If the Snake dropped out surrounded by negative cards , then the situation is much more serious and dangerous, i.e. this card enhances the negative of other cards. But also auspicious cards next to the Serpent are not a very good combination because The snake remains poisonous, throwing seeds of future problems, suspicion and distrust into these matters. It is important which direction the snake is looking in - at the Personal Card or at the Significator card of the layout, this will give a hint where the danger is coming from. mandatory, regardless of the topic of the question.

This alignment is carried out as follows. Nine cards are involved in the layout, and the whole deck is involved, that is, both the senior and minor arcana. It should be noted that the central column of three cards represents the present, the left one - the past, and the right one - future events.
