The Proposal (Example Reading)

Here’s a quick one I thought was interesting. A querent wanted to know if her boyfriend would propose to him. This is the reading:

K♣️ – 3♦️ – J♥️ – Q♣️ – 2♣️

Notice that the two querent cards both come up in the reading. They are separated by the Three of Diamonds and the Jack of Hearts. I didn’t think the Jack could represent a literal child, but to be on the safe side I asked the querent and she said they have no children. If they did, it could have shown a relatively loose relationship but with children.

The Three of Diamonds represents small projects within the couple. It is not negative, but falling next to the querent’s boyfriend it made me think that he was still a bit immature (especially with the Jack) or at least that he didn’t have big projects in mind. However, we find the Queen followed by the Two of Clubs which represents some steps taken. To me it looked as though she would be the one to take action, either proposing herself or pressuring him to commit further.

What ended up happening is that the querent fell pregnant and told the boyfriend she wanted to at least move together. They are apparently making arrangements to find a place, and an engagement may be on the horizion in the next few years.

Could I have foreseen the pregnancy? Maybe, with the Jack of Hearts so central to the spread. Still, it didn’t feel like a pregnancy spread (and after all it wasn’t even the question).

What I find interesting about the spread is how it describes the nature of the querent’s relationship and who wants to take it to the next level

  1. 3♦️ несет идею роста чистой энергии, а рядом с J♥️ – означает беременность!

      1. Для меня – Пятерка Червей не связана с беременностью, я читаю эту карту как изменения и перемены в сердечных делах. Новые знакомства, новые отношения, сексуальные увлечения. Объяснение в любви. Это карта сексуальной активности. Пятерка Червей может представлять предложение руки и сердца, помолвки. Пятерка Червей может также представлять молодую женщину в раскладе – подругу или родственницу, сестру и т.д. Беременность обязательна должна быть связана с тройкой – это число говорит о том, что появляется кто-то третий.

      2. I believe you are referring in part to the Hedgewytchery system and in part to Kapherus’ system. In the one I was taught a pregnancy is indicated by the Five of Hearts + Jack of Hearts, traditionally 🙂

  2. I am so impressed with the accuracy of playing cards. I’ve been divining since I was 12 years old, and I dismissed playing cards until recently, as they were so mundane, there was nothing ‘esoteric’ and ‘fancy’ about them. Almost every household has them! I’ve been using them more and more recently and I’m so blown away with how accurate and straight to the point they are.

    I am wondering, what is your stance on using ‘base’ cards in playing card system? In Tarot, they are the card at the bottom of the deck, which gives more information about the spread. It’s like the essence card. But in other traditions, like Lenormand, they are entirely dismissed. I’ve noticed that they are often relevant to the reading.

    1. Hi! Personally I don’t use the bottom card specifically, although I do have a look at the cards of the cut, of which the bottom card is obviously part. Note that, if you cut the deck, the final bottom card is the one you cut the deck at, so it makes sense that it should convey some message. If it seems relevant and adds to the divination, by all means stick to it!
