Playing Cards That Indicate Gain

Leave a comment

I’m doing it with the Sibilla, so it stands to reason that I should do it with playing cards too. As usual, this list is not meant to be complete. It is only intended to look at the cards as if through a cross-section based on a particular topic. In this case, gain.

Three of Hearts

In my playing card system, the Three of Hearts is a gift. It represents all things that we acquire easily. It is not, strictly speaking, a card of gain, but it can entail gain. For instance, if someone asked about their business, this card falling at the end of the spread would indicate improvements and therefore, within the context, additional wealth, that is, gain.

Five of Hearts

The Five of Hearts is the card of abundance. It is one of the cards that can indicate a very positive evolution and increase of wealth. As with the Three, the Five, being in the suit of Hearts, is not strictly about money, but it can promise positive situations in a reading about finances. Furthermore, next to money cards, it increases their import.

Nine of Hearts

Not much to say here. In many respects the Nine of Hearts is like the Three of Hearts, but much more powerful.

Ace of Clubs

The Ace of Clubs is a very strong card, which indicates power within the situation. If it falls next to the querent, it shows the querent actively obtaining something, having power over it. However, unlike in the suit of Hearts, the Club suit requires effort and action, and is therefore less rosy than the Three, Five or Nine of Hearts. The Ace of Clubs can also indicate a powerful vision that comes true in material terms.

Three of Clubs

The Three of Clubs is a card of union, and can represent a business affair. As such, it usually promises gain in material issues, but we must be careful in our analysis of the whole spread, as we all know a business deal can be disastrous when attended by Spades or less promising Club cards. By itself, the Three is mildly encouraging.

Ace of Diamonds

The Ace of Diamonds represents news in general, but it also represents gold and all things that have high value. It is a card of great riches and wealth when not impeded by other difficult cards.

Three of Diamonds

The Three of Diamonds is a money card. As such it is usually read as small gains, whether in a positive sense (as in a small inheritance or a small raise) or in a negative sense (as in having only little money). Furthermore, we must be careful to note whether the little money is being gained or spent. By itself the Three shows gain.

Four of Diamonds

The Four of Diamonds represents agreements and pacts. Being in the suit of Diamonds it is geared more toward material affairs and thus indicates contract, whether positive or negative will be shown by other cards.

Five of Diamonds

The Five of Diamonds indicates change, especially (though not exclusively) within the context of money matters. It can indicate money changing hands for better or worse.

Seven of Diamonds

This is like the Three of Diamonds, but it shows a larger amount. Furthermore, the Seven is more clearly indicative of gain over loss. It is a more inherently fortunate cards.

Nine of Diamonds

The Nine of Diamonds is strongly connected with the realization of plans, material projects and with social ascent. Increase in wealth may or may not be tied to it, though in our society it usually is. It represents strong satisfaction in money matters, and upward mobility with all the perks that are entailed.

Ten of Diamonds

The biggest money card in the game, the Ten of Diamonds indicates success all around. For entrepreneurs it shows the reaching of great goals, while for business owners it can represents advantageous situations that generate wealth and ease in terms of money. Note that gain can be intended also as a reduction in expenses, so if the question is something like “Will I manage to get my landlord toreduce my rent in the next contract?” that counts as gain.

It’s The Economy, Stupid! (Example Reading)

Leave a comment

This is a quick one. My husband comes from a particular family background, and as a consequence of it is often afraid of not being left with enough money despite his hard work (and he is a hard worker). As I said elsewhere, we are moving, and so expenses are popping up left and right, and I’ve noticed a certain anxiety in his eyes. Consequently, I asked the Heavens a bank statement.

My husband’s finances, Horary Astrology reading

Since I didn’t tell my husband I was doing a reading, I am the querent, and he is my husband, and therefore Seventh House ruler, Jupiter. His money is represented by the second house from the Seventh, therefore the radical Eighth House, ruled by Mars.

Jupiter is peregrine in Taurus, and conjunct Caput Algol, a malefic star that, some say, is connected metaphorically to losing one’s head. Furthermore, Jupiter is combust and approaching the Sun. Therefore, my husband is under great stress.

How are his finances? Well, Mars is its sign and face, angular and inside the Seventh House, which represents my husband. So his finances are good, and they remain in his possession. This may sound silly. After all, if they are his money, of course they are his possession. Still, it is comforting to see his money in his house: he retains control over it.

I believe this wonderful Mars testimony shows that, as it were, the fundamentals of his finances are solid, i.e., there is no risk of dejection, poverty, major adversity, etc.

That being said, this does nothing to alleviate his stress. The Moon is cadent, possibly indicating that the economy is going to be slow for a while, and it separates from a positive sextile of Mars, showing a positive financial recent past, and applies to a square of Saturn. Saturn shows restriction. In other words, while there is nothing to fundamentally worry about, the next period isn’t going to be the most prosperous.

I already have a partial outcome for this reading, which was done some weeks ago. As soon as we entered the house, after a couple of days, some household utensils gave up the ghost, including the fridge, and we had to buy new ones. Since Saturn rules the Fifth house, the house’s possessions, I’m wondering if that was what it was referring to, though this is stretching it quite a bit (they are our possessions, not the house’s). Alternatively, Capricorn is the second sign on the Fourth cusp, so Saturn would generally show the house.

Vera Sibilla Cards That Indicate Gain

1 Comment

Following up on my previous post about Sibilla cards that show loss, today we discuss the opposite idea, i.e., that of gain. As usual, the list is not meant to be exclusive, and gain is not the only meaning of the following cards.

Six of Hearts (Money)

As the main significator card for money, the 6♥ often shows the querent’s (or another person’s) liquid assets. By itself it doesn’t necessarily show increase of money, but it can indicate that a situation will bring money, and so increase can be implied in the context.

Eight of Hearts (Hope)

The 8♥ can indicate investments, but more in general it shows a favorable situation, so if gain is looked for, it will probably come.

Ace of Clubs Reversed (Marriage)

When reversed, the Ace of Clubs can indicate wealth. However, it is a neutral card, so if followed by negative cards it can point to loss of wealth. By itself it speaks not only of money but of property in general.

Two of Clubs (the Peacock)

Being the talisman card of the deck, the 2♣ represents prosperity. It shows freedom from want and positive situations all around (the Peacock’s wheel is the counterpart to the World card’s garland in the tarot).

Five of Clubs (Fortune)

Both upright and reversed, the Fortune card shows positive situations and movement in the querent’s life, especially as it pertains to finances, so gain is implied. When reversed, the positivity is diminished or delayed.

Six of Clubs (Surprise)

Even in its design the card represents obtaining money. It can shows the querent’s income in general, but more specifically it indicates money coming in, usually without much effort on the querent’s part (it is a surprise, after all).

Seven of Clubs (Realization)

Although this card is geared more toward the querent’s patrimony or realization in the world, it can imply prosperous finances and its power is greater than that of the preceding card. When the 5♣, 6♣ and 7♣ fall together they represents major wealth.

Ten of Clubs Reversed (Levity)

When reversed, the Ten of Clubs indicates the ability to manage one’s finances wisely and to save. It can also represent lucky opportunities to make money, and by itself it can show a small sum of money coming in.

Ace of Diamonds (Room)

This one is a card of material prosperity. When upright, it can represent a well-balanced checkbook or positive upcoming news concerning one’s finances. Reversed it can show the same, but with bad cards it points to mismanagement.

Three of Diamonds (Gift)

It can be a literal gift, of course, but often it represents the act of receiving or being offered something. This can be very comforting for someone waiting for a loan to be approved. It is also a card of luxury, so gain is implied in some way.

Eight of Diamonds (Handmaid)

This one is the card of money coming and going. When upright, it usually shows money coming in, positive financial evolution and ascent. Like the Gift card, the 8♦ can represent the idea of receiving.

King of Diamonds (Merchant)

In the main this is the card of work and career. However, it is still a merchant, so it can be indicative of business, banking and money changing hands.
