Vera Sibilla | Seven of Spades – Disaster (Disgrazia)

Leave a comment

Name: Disaster
Italian Name: Disgrazia
Playing Card: 7♠
Polarity when Upright: Negative
Core Meanings: Disruption, Breakup, Turbulence, Accidents | All that from the outside disrupts our plans | Aggession, Aggressiveness, Anger, Wrath | Suddenness
Polarity when Reversed: Very Negative
Reversed Core Meanings: Complete Ruin or Downfall | Oppression, Enslavement, Utter Helplessness Slowness, Hesitation, Lack of development, Promising things that don’t grow | Tantrums, Childishness | Gullibility again | Being off to a bad start

Card Description: a building being devastated by a sudden fire or explosion.

Suit and Number: The Sevens in the Sibilla deal with plans and projects. The Seven of Spades represents either the ruination of projects, their disruption from unforeseen events, or it represents aggressive stances, a destructive attitude as opposed to the constructive one of the Seven of Hearts.

UPRIGHT 7♠

General: Almost universally negative, the Disaster card is connected with disruption in all its forms. It represents irrational forces destroying our carefully crafted plans or hopes, or at least forcing us to reconsider some aspects of them. It heralds sudden disturbances in all fields and it is connected with anger. When it comes up with positive cards, especially at the beginning of a row of cards, it show that the positive event will strike us soon and when we least expect it.

Love and Relationships: In the aforementioned case of the card falling with positive cards, it often signifies love at first sight, which completely disrupt the person’s lives or, if the querent is already with someone, sudden positive events for the couple (which will be described by the cards). This is just about the only positive meaning of the card. Otherwise it heralds separations, arguments and much anger. Note that when it falls after a significator card, it shows the person to be easily angered, either in general or within the context of the question, showing them to become potentially violent or abusive. When the card heralds a breakup, it is not always definitive. If cards of reconciliation follow, then the argument will be followed by making up. If it falls with other negative cards, though, it shows the end of the relationship, and the presence of other positive cards will usually show a positive future with someone else.

Work and Money: Needless to say, the Seven of Spades brings bad luck into the life of the querent. It is a card of loss, and represents the failure of projects. Career-wise it can stand for being terminated, especially without notice or without expecting it. It also represents all those things that we must deal with financially that force us to reconsider our plans, such as taxation (which clearly the Sibilla doesn’t see in a very positive light). If you are making plans of any nature, but especially financial plans, you will probably need to consider them carefully before acting them out, because there is a risk of making mistakes that will cause the plan to fail. Careers signified by this card tend to be in connection with taxes, fire, explosives, electricity and danger.

Other: Psychologically, the Seven of Spades is a card of anger, and it represents the inability to step out of your immediate reactions and feelings, but acting rather impulsively on them without stopping to consider, usually with negative or unbalanced results. It is also a card of accidents, but be careful. It is not enough to have the Seven of Spades with a card of travel to represent an accident, especially a serious one. If the other cards in the spread don’t support the interpretation, look for another one (a sudden removal, perhaps?) Because the Disaster card signifies sudden disruption and cuts, it is also the card of surgery. Spiritually it shows negative forces, the punishment of errors or, with positive cards, the end of delusion (usually in a somewhat traumatic fashion).

Important Combinations:

10♣ + 7♠ = carelessness leading to accident
K♠ + 7♠ = loss of a lawsuit, among other things
4♥ + 7♠ = argument, breakup (in itself not necessarily definitive)
7♠ + 2♦ or J♦ = a message that arrives quickly
3♦ + 7♠ = can be the breaking of an object

REVERSED 7♠R

General: brace yourselves, because the reversed Seven of Spades is THE worst card in the deck. There is absolutely nothing positive to be said about it. If, when upright, it signifies the disruption of plans and life by external forces, when reversed it shows the utter victory of those forces on the person. It’s a card of ruination, despotism, slavery, oppression. It’s everything the querent is impotent against.

Love and Relationships: When a breakup is shown by this card, you don’t need any other negative cards in the spread. The relationship is over. Period. Often it shows interpersonal dynamics where one person crushes the other, enslaves them as it were, either literally or figuratively. This varies in degree depending on the other cards, and can range from someone who is somewhat despotic to a literal torturer depending on the situation. If more than a face card shows up near the reversed Disaster card, usually the reversed face cards are the victims, or, alternatively, those closest to cards showing suffering.

Work and Money: Working conditions are likely to be insatisfactory to the utmost degree, and will usually go beyond simple pressure from your superiors. The card stands from unpaid slave work, tyrannical superiors or coworkers and an utterly nasty work environment. All projects fail without any hope under this card, and termination is also likely.

Other: The card signifies one who is completely at the mercy of a despotic power, be it traumas, addictions or other people. Psychologically it shows someone who is unable to get back to their feet. With cards of evil, it shows someone with a very dark soul. Spiritually it shows the triumph of evil forces, and it can signify possessions and dark magic.

Important Combinations:

7♠R + J♣ + 9♦ or 9♣R = a young man slave to an addiction
7♠R + K♦R + 5♦R = work bordering on slave labor
7♠R + Q♦ or K♣ = a tyrannical mother or father
J♥ or Q♥ + 7♠R + 8♠ = a boyfriend or girlfriend who are overbearing due to jealousy

Vera Sibilla | Seven of Diamonds – Child (Bambino)

Leave a comment

Name: Child
Italian Name: Bambino
Playing Card: 7♦
Polarity when Upright: Positive
Core Meanings: A child | A pet | Newness, New things, New ideas, New outlook, New project | Smallness | Gullibility, Simple-mindedness
Polarity when Reversed: Negative
Reversed Core Meanings: Problems with a child or pet | Slowness, Hesitation, Lack of development, Promising things that don’t grow | Tantrums, Childishness | Gullibility again | Being off to a bad start

Card Description: a newly born child sleeping in its cradle.

Suit and Number: Sevens have to do with ideas, projects and such things. In the suit of Diamonds this notion is interpreted to mean new ideas, new projects and new ways of looking at the world. All other meanings derive from this and from the image of the child.

UPRIGHT 7♦R

General: It can be a significator card for a child or a pet, i.e., a “small soul”. More often than not, as few readings revolve around children and animals, it represents newness in all its forms. It is something that has just begun (or will be beginning) and has a future ahead of it (the future completion is represented by the Seven of Clubs, Gratification).

Love and Relationships: Often, the Seven of Diamonds represents new relationships which haven’t yet settled into a routine. This is true for all kinds of personal relationships, including friendships. It goes without saying that it represents a child, usually a boy unless attended by feminine face cards. It is not a good card when the querent asks about a possible reconciliation, as it normally shows new relationships, i.e., relationships with people not from the past. However, if this card is surrounded by cards representing a reconciliation, it can show that the relationship will resume on new, and probably more positive foundations. This is, of course, a rare instance.

Work and Money: Normally it refers to new ventures and new jobs or projects. It is a card of strong creativity, so the querent usually has no problem coming up with new ideas, and has the ability to bring in new perspectives. It shows works connected with children or with pets (not with animals in general, though). With negative cards it often shows inexperience. It can also signify internships, propationary periods and being the new recruit in general.

Other: Psychologically it can stand for simplicity, both in a positive and in a negative sense, according to the surrounding cards. A person signified by the Seven of Diamonds usually dislike artificial things and overly elaborate things, preferring the genuine joy found in small things. Speaking of which, the card can signify something small, although it is an uncommon meaning. When with negative cards it can imply that the querent should stop being naive, because he is likely to be led on or, more simply, to make mistakes based on inexperience. It does, however, show purity of heart, both psychologically and spiritually.

Important Combinations:

7♦ + 4♥ = a new love or the first love
7♦ + 5♥ = traditionally it represents cuddling and kissing (sweet, innocent engagement with the other) but it can mean many other things
7♦ + 4♦ = mistakes caused by inexperience
7♦ + 10♣ = naivety (if 7♦R it’s worse)
7♣ + 7♦ + 8♥ = can be the realization of your childhood dreams, among other things

REVERSED 7♦R

General: when it acts as a significator it points to issues with children or pets. Otherwise, it heralds hesitation, situations that do not develop inspite of the initial promise, and can point to the negative character traits typical of children, even in people who should have grown up by now.

Love and Relationships: Often the card brings slowness to the spread, so in relationship issues it normally signifies that the bond is not developing beyond the initial stage, or that a person is taking forever to make a move. It points to immaturite partners (or querents, of course) who are not ready for a commitment, or a childish crush that leads to nothing further. Children and pets could behave badly or be sick.

Work and Money: Any plans made under the rulership of this card is usually either cursed from the beginning or, if positive cards follow, that it will take much longer than anticipated to bear fruit. Same goes with investments and other money matters, such as getting back loaned money. A person card next to the reversed Child card is unreliable and immature and should not be trusted with your money, not necessarily because they are bad, but they simply haven’t grown up. This is also true for colleagues

Other: the card shows childishness, tantrums, and all other signs of immaturity. Like its upright counterpart, it can still point to gullibility, but in a much more deeply rooted form.

Important Combinations:

7♦R + 2♦ = a delay in the arrival of correspondence
A♥ + 7♦R = hesitancy in opening up | can mean stuttering
7♦R + 5♦ = can signify a childish tantrum among other things
7♦R + 6♠ = very long delay
7♦R + 4♠ = can be a sick child or pet

Vera Sibilla | Seven of Clubs – Gratification (Gran Consolazione)

Leave a comment

Name: Gratification
Italian Name: Gran Consolazione (which literally means Great Consolation, but it feels weird as it has nothing to do with being consoled, being far more positive than that)
Playing Card: 7♣
Polarity when Upright: Positive
Core Meanings: Realization, Gratification, Satisfaction | Our sense of security in the world | Recognition, Advancement, Concretization
Polarity when Reversed: Negative
Reversed Core Meanings: Insecurity, Fears | Things not bearing fruit, Hesitation | Demotion

Card Description: A man has fallen asleep and dreams of his realization: money, love (the ring) and recognition (the laurel)

Suit and Number: The sevens all have to do with ideas, plans and projects. The Seven of Clubs represents the realization of one’s projects, their being firmly anchored into the world.

UPRIGHT 7♣

General: One of the most positive cards in the deck. It is not so much a card of luck as one of realization. It is deeply connected with our sense of security in terms of how we conceive of ourselves, and it shows that we manage to embody it in our real life. It shows the attainment of the grat goals we dream of. When this card comes up after bad cards, it is traditionally called the light at the end of the tunnel, showing the regaining of balance and security.

Love and Relationships: In itself, the Seven of Clubs does not signify feelings. It does show a relationship that is firmly rooted in the querent’s destiny and even in their life plans, meaning that they feel comfortable in it and feel like it’s an important part of their life. With negative cards it can show that a person is seen by another person as just a prize, the next achievement. If the querent has had a fresh break up, it shows a reconciliation, while if the break up is old, it tends to show the moving on and finding satisfaction with someone else. It can also signify the further concretization and development of the relationship, hinting at an engagement or a marriage.

Work and Money: The card represents the querent’s assets, whether it be money, properties or something else. The cards around will show what kind of assets and what will happen to them. It shows someone who has gained or will gain recognition, and can signify a promotion. More generally it represents being capable carrying out one’s projects to the highest degree of realization, especially if very good cards complement the Seven of Clubs. It can also be a significator card for the querent’s career. This card does not stand for random good luck, but implies having put work into a project, especially since the project is likely to mean very much to the person.

Other: The Gratification card is connected with positive thinking and ambition. The person is unlikely to settle for less than the best (whatever that means for them). It shows psychological well-being and being at peace with oneself. Finally, it is the card of fame and of making a good name for oneself.

Important Combinations:

K♦ + 7♣ = promotion (+6♣, with a raise) | career advancement
7♣ + 2♥ = real estate
7♣ + 6♥ = liquid assets
4♥ + 7♣ + 9♥ = triumph in love | possible marriage
K♥ + 7♣ = a realized man, possibly an entrepreneur

REVERSED 7♣R

General: negative, but not necessarily tragic, unless with other very bad cards. If upright it shows the concretization of one’s life plans, when reversed it points to situations that don’t develop, situations from which nothing concrete comes. In general it points to lack of concreteness, insecurity and to problems to one’s reputation.

Love and Relationships: this card often comes up reversed when the querent is excited about having met someone new and they ask the cards what will happen. This card means, “Nothing will happen”, that is, there won’t be any major development, at least for a while (look at the other cards). In a couple, it point to lack of common projects, often signifying two people who do nothing together anymore and who are growing apart. A wedding is likely not to take place with this card, as no further development is shown. It can imply not feeling at ease in a relationship, or feeling that you are with the wrong person for you.

Work and Money: Generally, the reversed Gratification card means plans that do not become concrete, investments that don’t yield good results, or that will take much longer to mature if there are positive cards. With very negative cards it can signify a complete downfall. Career-wise, it is the card of the dead-end job, where it is very unlikely to get unstuck and progress up the ladder, unless steps are taken to change things around. If followed by cards such as Fortune or the Peacock, it shows a situation that seems desperate but will actually turn unexpectedly in a positive direction. More broadly it is a card of dissatisfaction and lack of recognition. It shows lack of financial or job security and with cards that point to malice it can signify having your reputation smeared by nasty colleagues.

Other: psychologically it is a card of dissatisfaction, insecurity and fears. It points to not feeling at peace with oneself. If upright it’s a card of fame, reversed it becomes a card of infamy or notoriety, especially if there are cards pointing to gossip and the like. Spiritually it can signify lack of breakthroughs and not feeling at ease with one’s beliefs.

Important Combinations:

A♥ or 8♣ + 7♣R = a meeting with no further development
7♣R + Q♠ + 8♦R = slander
7♣R + K♦ = can be a dead end job
7♣R + 9♦R = demotion
7♣R + 8♠ = a crisis of reputation or financial crisis

Vera Sibilla | Seven of Hearts – The Scholar (Letterato)

Leave a comment

Name: Scholar / Artist (Scholar is the original title, Artist a newer one)
Italian Name: Letterato / Artista
Playing Card: 7♥
Polarity when Upright: Positive
Core Meanings: Talent, Being cut for something | Ability to plan, Intellect | A man of around 45 | A notary public, Signing of contracts
Polarity when Reversed: Negative
Reversed Core Meanings: Ulterior motives, Manipulation | Impotence in all fields of life

Card Description: a learned man in his library.

Suit and Number: All sevens in the Vera Sibilla relate to planning, projects and the ability to make such projects. Thus, in the Seven of Hearts we deal with talent and the good use of the intellect. Most other meanings are derived from it.

UPRIGHT 7♥

General: A favorable card, which can also behave as a face card for a man of around 40-50 (the age may vary, though). It represents the intellect and its attributes, as well as good education, learning, and the costructive side of the mind. Because of this reason, and also because the card depicts a professional who might very well be a lawyer or notary public, it is also connected to contracts and the signing thereof, since contracts represent, legally, a “meeting of the minds”.

Love and Relationships: extremely positive. On one side it may represent a person, the querent himself at times, or a loved one or partner. More generally, on the other side, it often represent good compatibility among people (or within the couple). It is a card of positivity and proactivity, showing that a person is serious in his or her intentions and is unlikely to just be in for a one-night-stand or to have ulterior motives. if a couple has been through a rough patch, the Seven of Hearts promises reconciliation and stability, and it shows that the couple is capable of working through their problems together in harmony.

Work and Money: Often the card stands for a contract or business transaction requiring notarization, such as the buying or selling of property. In general, it is connected to professions where one uses one’s intellect, and is often connected with the law or with places of learning. More in general, it represents a professional of any kind, but of a high level, and with some kind of recognition, not one working at a mom-and-pop shop. It represent one working alone or at least with a degree of creative control over what he does. It also signifies an affinity with one’s job, regardless of the type of work. Finally, it can show the ability to make and carry out good business plans.

Other: it is heavily connected with learning, creativity and the arts. It shows great intelligence, and with negative cards it may refer to one who is a bit of an obnoxious nerd, but it is never a very negative card. Spiritually it points to good will and it can signify a saint or its equivalent in another religion.

Important Combinations:

7♥ + 2♥ = a real estate contract | a male family member
7♥ + 4♥ = positive projects in love, serious intents | can signal reconciliation
7♥ + 6♦ = genius | great talent | education | solid projects
8♥ + 7♥ = artistry
7♥ + A♠ + 7♠ = can mean termination of contract

REVERSED 7♥R

General: the negative side of the mind. It shows destructive behavior, having an axe to grind and lack of intellectual abilities.

Love and Relationships: when it comes up, this card should always act as a warning sign that someone is not sincere. It shows one (not necessarily a man) who does not deal with the querent out of love and respect but selfishness. They pursue their personal interest above all and will usually not stop at anything. If the cards are not disastrous, however, it can show that one is unwilling to pursue the relationship further and bring it to the next level.

Work and Money: When it’s upright, the card shows mind over matter. When reversed, it’s definitely the opposite. There is a sense of being overwhelmed, which in turns points to impotence, lack of ability and skill and not being cut for a certain job. If the cards around are not too bad, it can simply show having bitten off more than you can chew and feeling somewhat overwhelmed. However, if a business partner is represented by this card, walk away: best case scenario they are incapable of keeping their word, worst case scenario they are ruthless schemers.

Other: Psychologically it shows the inability to cope with life, and can point to delusions and someone who lives in their own fantasy land, but not in the cutsy quirky way. It can show a definite lack of intelligence or, at least, of cultivation of what intelligence one has. In spiritual work, it shows ineptitude, delusions or even spirits you’d better stay away from, if you engage in certain practices.

Important Combinations:

7♥R + K♦R = not good for the job, incapacity
7♥R + A♣ = pursuing a marriage or union or contract for ulterior motives
7♥R + 9♠ = impotence (if also with A♣R, sexual impotence)
7♥R + 4♥R = depravity
7♥R + 6♦ = for a child it can be a learning disability

Vera Sibilla | Five of Clubs – Fortune (Fortuna)

Leave a comment

Name: Fortune
Italian Name: Fortuna
Playing Card: 5♣
Polarity when Upright: Positive
Core Meanings: Good Luck | Solution | Transition to a new phase of life
Polarity when Reversed: Positive
Reversed Core Meanings: Slow, progressive transformation for the better

Card Description: Dame Fortune balances herself on a wheel in the sky, pouring out her riches from a cornucopia. Her gifts will reach mortals regardless of their merit.

Suit and Number: Fives in the Sibilla speak of transition. Clubs are a positive, lucky suit especially in a material context, so the Five of Clubs is the card of good luck par excellence.

UPRIGHT 5♣

General: Extremely positive card in all contexts, being only second to the Two of Clubs upright, which represents not just luck but divine intervention. The Five of Clubs upright has the power to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in most situations.

Love and Relationships: it is important to understand that this card does not speak of feelings per se. It does not represent love. It does, however, represent favorable circumstances, lucky combinations of events, satisfaction dropping in the querent’s lap almost unreservedly. Realize that there is no such thing as a “yes card”. Suppose the querent asks if she will reconcile with her ex, and there is a slew of outrageously bad cards whose general sense is that that story is over. If the Five of Clubs pops up, it may just mean that a new, exciting chapter is about to open for her. Always read the card within the context.

Work and Money: Being a Club, Fortune speaks much more directly to mundane matters. It represents favorable chances, recognition, positive developments, strokes of luck, and quite frankly good money.

Other: there isn’t much else to say. It represents someone who doesn’t need to work much to get what he has. Spiritually it shows the answer to a prayer. It is of course a very favorable card for gamblers and risk-takers.

Important Combinations:
5♣ + 4♥ = luck in love
5♣ + 6♥ = luck in your finances
5♣ + 6♣ + 7♣ = a traditional combination of great good fortune in material things and gambling
10♣R + 9♣ + 5♣ = winning at the lottery or some such activity
5♣ + 5♠ = a decisive change in the querent’s destiny which will prove positive in the long run

REVERSED 5♣R

General: the card’s meaning remains mostly unaltered. It’s positive, but drawn out over time. The situation will improve slowly, possibly in a less obvious manner. Also, this card can more easily represent a change of phase in a neutral sense. When reversed, Fortune does not nullify the negative import of other cards.

Love and Relationships: same as the upright, but slower. The querent is on a positive path, and if the preceding cards are negative, it could represent the end of that phase over time.

Work and Money: again, much the same meaning. However, the querent may have to act in order to facilitate the manifestation of the good luck implied here.

Other: if it is surrounded by positive cards, the Five of Clubs reversed can simply represent that the querent’s destiny is flowing generally positive. If it is surrounded by negative cards, then it shows a negative phase. It still kind of implies that it will end, but it also shows that there is a pattern of negativity. There is the idea of a path to be trodden step by step to this card, as opposed to the suddenness of the upright counterpart

Important Combinations:
5♣R + 4♠ = a slow recovery
5♣R + 7♦R = the good fortune comes even more slowly
5♣R + 6♣R + Positive cards = the querent will need to put in an inordinate amount of effort to reach good results, and it will take time
6♠ + 5♣R + 8♣ = in love, a reconciliation that will happen belatedly
5♣R + 5♠ + 7♠ = a negative change of phase

Vera Sibilla | Four of Spades – Sickness (Ammalato)

Leave a comment

Name: Sickness
Italian Name: Ammalato (literally “Sick Man” or “Sick One”)
Playing Card: 4♠
Polarity when Upright: Negative
Core Meanings: Illness, Sickness | Downtime, Interruption of usual routine | Broken, Noxious, Bad for you | Dejection
Polarity when Reversed: Neutral to Negative
Reversed Core Meanings: Blockage, Stop | End of a situation, for better or worse | Confinement | Economy, Avarice

Card Description: a man lies in bad, a suffering expression on his face.

Suit and Number: Fours represent the querent’s context. Spades are a decidedly bad suit. The Four of Spades, therefore, signifies a situation that is rotten, noxious or “sick” in some way.

UPRIGHT 4♠

General: A decidedly negative card, it is one of the significator cards for bad health, as it is obvious. The type of illness or the organs affected will be shown by the cards coming up next to it. I will not waste more than a line to tell you that you should forebear from diagnosing people, especially if you are not a physician. The notion of “sick”, however, carries to all situations. More broadly, the idea of sickness can also imply that the querent is forced out of his daily round and somehow stopped from acting. This is rarely to be taken in a positive sense.

Love and Relationships: Other than to signify sick relatives and loved ones, the Four of Spades is a card of sick relationships. In general, all bonds represented by this card are bad for the querent, whatever the reason may be. At best, it signifies that a relationship has run its course and is falling sick, as it were. Often this means that there are structural problems that have been accumulated and never resolved that make the situation hard to salvage (but also look at the following cards). If together with more sinister cards, it can point to morbid feelings poisoning a person’s mind with regard to the querent, such as jealousy or hatred.
Often this card can signify a person who lacks and needs support. This is true in all contexts, but it is especially true if the querent is single, a situation that this card can represent, with the added meaning that loneliness bears heavy on the person’s mind and soul.

Work and Money: The Sickness card represents all jobs to do with sickness, obviously. More typically, though, it is a card of unemployment. The general feeling is that of situations that are overwhelming for the querent, especially if he’s not working, so it rarely shows up for someone who can afford not to work.
Finances are structurally in bad shape with this card, and may need a lot of effort in order to “cure”. Investments are to be avoided, and when they aren’t, they are invariably bad. Likewise, offers made to the querent tend to be rotten on the inside, often hiding problems that will become obvious later on.

Other: Both psychologically and spiritually, the Four of Spades is a card of dejection. It is often present in constellations of cards showing depression, though not necessarily clinical depression, if the other cards are not really bad. The idea of sickness applies also to objects, so a package may arrive containing a broken item, or food may be spoiled.

Important Combinations:

4♠ + K♣ + 7♠ = surgery (if K♠ instead, by a specialist)
6♣ + 4♠ = unemployment (also if 4♠R)
4♥ + 4♠ = a “sick” love, one without healthy outlets
10♥R + 4♠ = complete dejection and lack of willpower to plough through a situation
4♠ + 10♣ = a minor illness (but if followed by negative cards, an illness that is underestimated)

REVERSED 4♠R

General: A neutral card, but with generally negative undertones. It is mainly a card of blockage, of situations that cease to evolve. This is reflected in a function this card has, which is of bringing situations to an end. This is only true when the card is preceded by good cards and followed by bad ones, or vice versa.

Love and Relationships: At best, the reversed Four of Spades shows coldness, distance and lack of intimacy. It is also the card that shows being on a break. If the cards following it are positive, the relationship will later resume. If the question is if someone will make a move, this is a bad sign, especially if the card comes up next to the face card representing the person in question. With cards showing jealousy, the meaning of avarice typical of the card turns into possessiveness. It is also a card of loneliness and seclusion.

Work and Money: on material questions, the card’s meanings vary wildly depending on the surrounding cards. Surrounded by positive cards, it points to wise management. It signifies one who can rely on his own ability to manage the situation, as opposed to the helplessness of the upright version. More often than not, it is a sign of avarice, especially in a metaphorical sense: someone will refuse to help us out economically. If surrounded by disastrous cards, it can show utter poverty. Career-wise, it can still point to unemployment, or, at least, being stuck.

Other: psychologically the card points to sterness, seriousness, a morose demeanor, sort of saturnine. Spiritually it can be connected to religion, especially organized religion, whose aim is, technically, to help those in need (as represented by the upright Four of Spades). The card also has a connection to reclusion and places where one is stuck, for one reason or another.

Important Combinations:

4♠R + 2♠ + 2♥ = a retirement home
6♥ + 4♠R + 6♣ = wise management bringing in results
8♦R + 4♠R + 8♠ = financial crisis
2♥ + 4♠R + 8♥ + K♠ = a spiritual retreat, a monastery (if 4♠R + K♠, it can be a church)
4♥ + 4♠R = coldness, a break

Vera Sibilla | Four of Diamonds – Falsehood (Falsità)

Leave a comment

Name: Falsehood
Italian Name: Falsità
Playing Card: 4♦
Polarity when Upright: Negative
Core Meanings: Negativity, Being negative, Not liking | Lies, Deceit | There is a difference between how things are and how they seem | Mistakes, Errors, Wrongness
Polarity when Reversed: Positive
Reversed Core Meanings: Unmasked lies, Unmasked plots and enemies | Relief from trouble, Improvement, Solution

Card Description: a demonic-looking cat sits on a chair, preventing someone from reaching the pantry on the other side.

Suit and Number: Fours show the querent’s context. Diamonds are a mixed suit, especially from a social standpoint. The Four of Diamonds shows the context in which the querent is moving is negative, or uncertain, wrong for him, whether because of his subjective reaction or because something is amiss, it depends on the context and other cards

UPRIGHT 4♦

General: The card is so explicit in its depiction that it’s easy to jump to conclusions and say that someone is lying. As a matter of fact, unless it makes sense within the context of the question, or unless other cards strengthen the idea of actual deceit, you need to be very careful around this card. The concept that best applies is that of “wrongness”. In general, however, it is also the card of negativity.

Love and Relationships: The Four of Diamonds does not automatically represent cheating. It generally shows a lack of sincerity, and the other cards will tell you why. It can also, more broadly, show a relationship that is shaky due to incompatibility, i.e., because two people are wrong for one another. There is a general sense of a relationship not reaching a deep level of “wholeness”. Due to its connection with surfaces as opposed to reality, it can show a superficial bond. It may also show outright dislike. When it represents an environment, it qualifies it as wrong for the querent, and if confirmed by the rest of the spread, rumors and gossip and ill will.
The only time the 4♦ is neutral is when it represents “false” relatives, that is, relatives by law, such as adoptive children, step-mothers as well. In this case, the card shows up next to a face card. It is a rare meaning, however.

Work and Money: Obviously, the meaning of wrongness and negativity carries into the field of finances and career as well. It can represent wrong financial decisions, carelessness, blunders etc. It can show that the querent is working in the wrong field, not following his true passion. Whenever a contract or papers in general need to be signed, this card acts as a warning that the document is, at best, incomplete, at worst, a scam. Either way, it is best to read everything carefully. It is never a good sign, but how bad a sign it is will depend on the rest of the cards.
As this card can also represent having a bad attitude toward someone or something (being “negative” toward them) it can show being refused an offer, or, sometimes, having a bad attitude toward money or the job.

Other: The concept of appearances differing from reality can be applied broadly to most situations. Psychologically it generally points to illusions and being unable to tell what’s truly going on in one’s life. The idea of negativity also has esoteric connotations, as it can show the famous “evil eye”. It does not necessarily show a black magic ritual, more the transmition of negative thoughts toward the querent (or by the querent toward someone else). Spiritually, the Four of Diamonds can show a negative environment or illusions about reality on the part of the querent. Sometimes it can be interpreted as the querent holding on to spiritual illusions. The card is connected to the pantry and kitchen as far as places are concerned, but more the pantry.

Important Combinations:

4♦ + 2♦ = wrong information, or incomplete, or misleading
4♦ + 9♥ = lies, not all is as it seems
4♦ + 10♦ + 8♠ = a swindle
6♦ + 4♦ = a bad idea or a wrong idea (if 6♦R, a negative plan, or even the evil eye)
4♦ + 10♣ = a mistake due to carelessness (same with 7♦, though that could be also a stepson)

REVERSED 4♦R

General: A great card. Although it shows the unmasking of lies and deceits, and therefore points to their existence in our life, the underlying sense is that the discovery is made in time to save the querent a lot of grief, unless the other cards show otherwise. It is also a card of relief, solution, improvement. A function of this card is that it walls negative streaks shown by negative cards preceding it, making them end.

Love and Relationships: The obvious meaning would be the discovery of a lie from the partner, but in general it can show an honest conversation to clear misconceptions. This can have apparently negative outcomes, such as realizing you are not meant to be together, but in the long run this card is always favorable. If, however, a break-up is not shown in the card, it simply signifies improvement in the relationship.

Work and Money: the Falsehood card, when it comes up reversed, is always a good omen. If the querent has been scammed, the scam will come to light and, save with disastrous cards, the worst will be averted. In general, it is a card of economic relief, of things improving after they have been on the wrong track. It can point to being somewhat miserly, as opposed to the wastefulness of the upright card, but this is rarely a problem, and frankly it is a very feeble meaning.

Other: psychologically, the 4♦R can represent the end of a difficult spell or of a period of negativity. Esoterically, it shows either the absence of a hex or that the evil eye is being averted, or that the person responsible is unmasked. Spiritually it broadly shows relief, and piercing through the veil of illusion.

Important Combinations:

Q♠ or J♠ + 4♦R = discovery of enemies
K♣ or 4♠ + 7♠ + 4♦R = surgery providing relief
10♠R + 4♦R = unmasking of secret plots
A♥R + K♠ + 4♦R = winning a legal dispute
9♠ + 4♦R = unblocking of a situation

Vera Sibilla | Four of Clubs – Friend (Amica)

Leave a comment

Name: Friend
Italian Name: Amica (which is a female noun)
Playing Card: 4♣
Polarity when Upright: Neutral to Positive
Core Meanings: A female friend or relative | support, a supportive context, a context where the querent is given the tools to move ahead | friendship, moral support | partnerships
Polarity when Reversed: Positive
Reversed Core Meanings: material help, recommendations | networking

Card Description: a young woman offers a chair to the querent, who has probably just arrived for a visit.

Suit and Number: all fours show the querent’s context. Clubs are a lucky, social suit, so obviously this card takes on the meanings of friendship, moral support, etc.

UPRIGHT 4♣

General: This card is less concerned with the querent’s feelings than the Four of Hearts, but it is usally more practical. In general, support and friendships are good keywords for this card. This is also a significator card, signifying a (usually young) woman, often a friend or a relative. As a rule, it is a straightforward card to interpet.

Love and Relationships: obviously, this card can represent the concept of friendship. It is, however, not a card of love. Therefore, in the right context, it can signify being friendzoned. In itself, however, it can also mean harmonious relationships where people help one another and take care of each other. In general, it dignifies the presence of people we can count on, and positive environments, supportive social situations, such as a self-help group or a classroom.
When it signifies a person, it is usually a positive woman we can count on. This, however, is only true when the Four of Clubs is surrounded by positive cards, as face cards always absorb the values of the cards around them. Therefore, the Friend can be shown to have two faces, a liar, a cheater or simply a good but untrustworthy person, a gossip, etc.

Work and Money: when it’s a face card, the Four of Clubs shows a colleague, normally one we can trust (although the caveats above apply here as well). It can also show a friend or relative that will help us economically or lend us money or give us tips. In career readings, it points to jobs in the service field, as well as psychologists, teachers, nun, nurses, union representatives, etc. Look at the surrounding cards for more details. More generally, the 4♣ can signify a partnership or any project involving two or more people

Other: psychologically, the card points to feeling supported, although often it shows the person supporting us. This card can also signify other people’s homes, especially a friend’s or relative’s home, though not necessarily. Spiritually, it can show a religious order, especially for women, but it is also a card of comfort.

Important Combinations:
4♣ + 9♥ or 10♥ = good friend
4♣ + Q♠ = bad friend
4♣ + K♠ + A♣ = a partnership or society
4♣ + J♦ + K♦ = can be a trade union
A♦R + 4♣ + 10♣ = a friend may carelessly divulge a secret

REVERSED 4♣R

General: It’s a very good card, more so than when upright, mostly because its effects are more readily appreciated on the material side of things. In the main, it’s a card of help and recommendation.

Love and Relationships: in love relationships, it represents flourishing and a strengthening of the bond. It may signify a reconciliation, but it needs to be attended by good feeling-oriented cards. As far as friendships are concerned, when the card is surrounded by negative cards, it can signify being without friends or without a social life. On the other hand, when with positive cards, it shows strong bonds and people we can count on.

Work and Money: this card often shows up to signify the presence of someone recommending us to someone else, e.g., for a job or promotion, in which case the results will be shown by the following cards, or to represent material help. This is also the card of networking and of developing business contacts and a clientele.

Other: not much needs to be added, as many of the secondary meanings of the upright card apply here as well. It is not, however, a face card, unless we are asking specifically about a female friend or relative, in which case the 4♣R may show the person is ill-disposed toward us or in trouble. Much will depend on the surrounding cards.

Important Combinations:
4♣R + K♣ = the recommendation of a professional or doctor
4♣R + 4♦ = underhanded recommendation (often political)
4♣R + K♦ = can be a service job
4♣R + A♥ or 8♣ = can be networking
2♦ + 4♣R = a letter of recommendation

Vera Sibilla | Four of Hearts – Love (Amore)

Leave a comment

Name: Love
Italian Name: Amore
Playing Card: 4♥
Polarity when Upright: Positive
Core Meanings: Love, positive feelings | a positive context, a context where the querent feels loved and safe
Polarity when Reversed: Neutral to Negative
Reversed Core Meanings: Homosexuality | Lack of love, Lack of feelings | breakups, rifts | Sexual depravity

Card Description: a blindfolded Cupid soars in the air, unbound by the laws of mortals.

Suit and Number: all fours in the Vera Sibilla are connected to the context that the querent finds or will find himself or herself in. The suit of Hearts, being positive, shows that the querent will find himself in a context where they will feel loved, appreciated and taken care of, and all contexts where the querent’s emotions are heightened (usually in a positive sense).

UPRIGHT 4♥

General: the main and obvious meaning of this card is that of love. Traditionally, however, this card is described as signifying an irrational force that is impossible to tame, so this may on occasion apply. Normally it symbolizes love, positive feelings and strong attachments. There is, however, a certain sense of lively wildness about this card, which contrasts with the sense of disciplined reliability of the other main love card of the deck, the Nine of Hearts. We can say that, while in practice it usually signifies love, the Four of Hearts is connected to all contexts that elicit a strong emotional reaction.
A specific function of this card is that, sometimes, when it comes up at the beginning of a sequence, it loses its meaning of love, and it simply shows that the situation described by the following cards is what the querent is attracting to himself or herself in the near future. With negative cards, if we are not talking about love, it shows deep disappointment due to excessive emotional involvement in a situation that doesn’t end well.

Love and Relationships: this is obviously the  area where the influence of this card is most direct. As most questioners come to us asking about relationship issues, the literal meaning of the Four of Hearts, that is, love, normally comes to the fore. In itself, the Love card tells of genuine feelings, requited love and deep connection. The card, however, is easily influenced by strong positive or negative cards. Especially cards that tell of disruption or of cheating can easily taint its meaning. Furthermore, if both significators (querent and love interest) are present, their reciprocal relation and their relation to the Love card must be carefully studied to see who is more committed, who may be cheating, etc. The same is true for the Nine of Hearts, by the way.
In general, even when love is not an issue, the Love card foretells harmony and a deep connection with someone, whether it be a relative, a sibling, a friend, etc. The card qualifies all contexts as deeply positive and nourishing for the querent, and shows a deep bond of affection from the querent to the context in question.
Again, I should stress that the Four of Hearts has a rather undisciplined energy, so if the overall energy of the spread is one of flightiness, the Love card may show a flash in the pan or a relationship that is unlikely to survive the first hurdles. Cards showing thought, planning, faithfulness, consistency, effort etc. all tend to stabilize the Love card, turning the deep but capricious feeling it can signify into a deeply rooted feeling.

Work and Money: the 4♥ is not a money card. It can, of course, show love of money, though in general this is signalled by other more negative cards. It is more likely that it signifies support by loved ones, and in general the idea of being in a love-filled environment where one’s wants and needs are taken care of. It can show the ability to attract money and resources.
In career readings, it may signify a deep love of one’s chosen career path. More negative cards around it may suggest an eccessive devotion to one’s career or an eccessive emotional attachment to it. Because it’s a card of expansive feelings, for merchants and business owners the Love card can sometimes show expanding their business, though this is not a common meaning. The Four of Hearts can, of course, suggest careers surrounding topics like love and feelings.

Other: psychologically, the card indicates deep intuition and also a certain wild (but kind) spirit. It also highlights emotionality and the ability to form deep connections. Spiritually, this is one of the cards that can indicate the soul. Artistically it points to great inspirations, but with negative cards it may highlight a certain lack of discipline.

Important Combinations:
4♥ + A♣ = a marriage of love
4♥ + 3♦ + 7♠ = end of love due to different characters (the 3♦ is connected to one’s “gift” and therefore to one’s specificity as a person)
4♥ + 2♥ = living together as a couple
K♦ + 4♥ = can be a job you love or love found at work, or a positive work environment
2♦ + 10♣R + 4♥ = these days, it can easily mean finding love on a dating app

REVERSED 4♥R

General: traditionally, the main meaning of this card when it comes up reversed is that of homosexuality. Bear in mind that this oracle was devised back when everything except joyless, reproduction-oriented sexual intercourse was considered a perversion, and homosexuality was seen as the main representative of the class of perversions. Nowadays, the card can still signify homosexuality, especially if it’s relevant to the question. However, it is my experience that when a gay querent consults the cards who is at peace with themselves and is not in the closet, the 4♥, when it shows up at all, it shows up upright, and if it does come up reversed it’s to signify other things, such as a breakup or unfaithfulness or some kind of sexual perversion, since the latter remains a core meaning of this card.* Additionally, the reversed Love card can signify rifts in the couple that are hard to mend, lack of love or an unhealthy expression of feelings.

Love and Relationships: as said, this card can be a symbol of homosexuality, although it tends to take on this meaning today only in specific instances. Otherwise, the easiest way to understand this card is that it shows love problems. These can vary, based on the gravity of the surrounding cards, from arguments to unrequited love to deep rifts in any relationship to cheating and false love. It can also signify feelings of love having ended.

Work and Money: the card does not speak much about these issues, although it can show an unhealthy attachment to money. In general, it discourages investments and business ventures as the querent is not seeing things properly, possibly due to emotional turmoil or due to putting the whim of the moment before careful reasoning. It can show prostitution, but this is rarely seen as a legitimate career when represented by this card, which tends to highlight the more negative emotional side of it. Sometimes it signifies that the querent works in a context where he or she doesn’t feel loved, or worse.

Other: the card is a staple of combinations highlighting perversion and sexual debauchery (regardless of whether the querent is straight or gay). On the other hand, psychologically it can show someone who feels deeply unloved or someone whose emotional reactions are spiralling out of control. Spiritually, it shows a soul bogged down by disempowering emotions or tainted in some way, if you choose to be preachy. It can show someone who is blundering from mistake to mistake.

Important Combinations:
A♦R + 4♥R = coming out or outing
4♥R + 7♥R = sexual deviant
4♥R + 5♦ = sadness due to unfulfilling love life | it can mean not accepting one’s homosexuality
4♥R + K♦ = a bad work environment that is not nurturing and we don’t like
2♥ + 4♥ + A♣ = living together despite the lack of feelings

* I must stress this: do NOT consult the cards for a validation of your own personal moral code. Cartomancy was born with humans, it evolves with humans and will die with humans, and while the fact that the Sibilla was devised in the XIX century implies that sexual perversion is one of the main meanings of the 4♥R, this doesn’t mean that the moral code of XIX century Italian burgeoisie is the absolutely right one and you should live by it. Nor does it imply that your own moral standards are the right ones, nor those of your neighbor, or those of the Japanese or the Native Americans. I can’t swing a dead cat without coming by readers online who use the cards to try to prove that Orange Man Bad or that Hillary belongs in jail or that abortion is right or wrong, depending on their particular political leanings. This is nothing short of psycho-political onanism. In reality, these people are just fooling themselves and projecting their canned opinions onto the cards, which kind of defeats the purpose of using divination. Everyone thinks the universe is woven according to their moral prejudices, but, guess what, you are not that special, Rhonda.

Vera Sibilla | Three of Spades – The Widower (Vedovo)

Leave a comment

Name: The Widower
Italian Name: Vedovo
Playing Card: 3♠
Polarity when Upright: Negative
Core Meanings: Removal, Abandonment | Loss, Lack, Deprivation | Loneliness, Aloneness, Oneness | An elderly man
Polarity when Reversed: Extremely Negative
Reversed Core Meanings: Bereavement, Grief | Trauma, Traumatic loss | Mental alienation, folly, aberrant conduct | A ritual or rite of some kind

Card Description: in a cemetery, an elderly man prays by his late wife’s tomb.

Suit and Number: all threes are connected to the idea of movement. Since Spades are a negative suit, the concept of movement is interpreted as a removal, and by extension the losing of something.

UPRIGHT 3♠

General: a mostly negative card with only one neutral meaning, when it is a significator. In that instance, it is the male counterpart to the Old Lady, representing an elderly man, not necessarily a bad one. Experience, however, shows that it is somewhat more common for the Two of Spades to act as a significator for an old woman than it is for the Three of Spades to act as a significator for an old man.
Otherwise, this is a negative card, whose primary significations are connected to (usually unwanted) removals and to loss. A particular function of this card is that it can deprive us of whatever the card preceding it signifies, but usually only in a negative sense.

Love and Relationships: The Widower is connected to the idea of loneliness and abandonment. It refers to solitude, usually unwanted, unless other cards contradict it. It  often signifies strong interpersonal difficulties and an inability to reach out to people. Often, this card heralds separation and abandonment, or moving away from the family, with all the typical feelings associated with it, from sadness to regretregret to suffering. By analogy with the concept of removal, the 3♠ can signify feelings of hatred, repulsion, disgust, rancour, incompatibility, estrangement, depending on the supporting cards.
The Widower is connected with the idea of oneness, aloneness, etc. There is only one case in which this is positive, and that’s when it is surrounded by the Four and Nine of Hearts, in which case it represents the one true love. Further, when the Three of Spades is surrounded by cards signifying merry-making and jollity, it can show someone who is alone but has fun.
More usually, though, this card stands for lack of support and being left out in the cold. If the other cards show a long-distance relationship, the Widower can show that every inch of distance between the two lovers is like a fresh wound.
Like the Old Lady, this card can signify the ex, in this case the ex man, but it can also happen that an old situation be signified by the Old Lady regardless of gender. Be flexible.

Work and Money: naturally, this card is connected to financial loss and lack of means and resources. It often signifies loss of employment or being forced to abandon a project, but it can also come up to show a relocation, again usually an unwanted one. Occasionally, with positive cards, it can imply that the person works alone and independently, for instance they man have their own business. This, however, is rare.
Due to its connotation of lack and absence, the Widower can show practices that fall outside the confines of the law (they are without the law or lawless). This is especially true if cards like the Priest come up before it, so that the Widower acts as a negation.

Other: psychologically, the Widower is connected to loneliness, helplessness and a marked inability to reach out to people or to express oneself (it is one of the cards that can identify autism). Most of the times, the card shows a psychologically difficult situation.
Due to its connection with removals, it can show the concept of abroad, but usually with a tinge of negativity.
In spiritual readings, great care should go into the analysis of the surrounding cards, as the Widower can say very different things. It can show an intense need to be alone and contemplate life or meditate (it is connected with hermitages and similar places). However, it can also show someone who is godless or someone who feels abandoned by god.
This is one of the cards that if show up in sequences of bereavement, although this signification is highlighted more when the card is reversed.

Important Combinations:
6♥ + 3♠ = loss of money
K♦ + 3♠ = work-related removal or working alone | with other negative cards, loss of job
A♥U/R or 8♣U/R + 3♠ = isolation, difficulty interacting with people
7♦ + 3♠ = sterility (in all areas of life)
K♠ + 3♠ = illegal, unauthorized, against regulation (literally, “without the law” or “lawless”)
4♥ + 3♠ + 9♥ = the one true love

REVERSED 3♠R

General: one of the worst cards in the deck, although it does have a neutral meaning, when it represents rituals and rites of all kinds and of all religions. Otherwise, this is the card of traumatic loss and of scarring situations. Upright, the Widower symbolizes removal and abandonment, a movement away from something. Reversed, it becomes a symbol of mental aberration and wrong conduct, the idea of straying away from normalcy, whether mental or moral.

Love and Relationships: oftentimes, the reversed Widower signals traumas surrounding relationships, whether past or future. The specifics, of course, must be read from the surrounding cards, but a rather typical scenario is when one of the two is unable to move on from the break and sinks into a depression.
This card can also show that one of the two is abusive toward the other and behaves in an irrational way. In the best case, it can show someone with horrible and morbid fetishes, but the connotation is still very negative. Whoever is described by this card, whether it be a partner, a mother or father, they were normally incapable of normal behavior and the querent should put as much distance between them as possible.
The 3♠R is another card that may show a negative group of people (from the fact that it’s a Spade and it’s the reversed of the upright Widower, which signifies loneliness). In the most harmless sense, the negative group may be a group gathering for a religious function of some kind, like a funeral (but with positive cards it can be a wedding or a christening). With negative cards, it can show gangs or cults.

Work and Money: like its upright counterpart, the reversed Widower points to losses. This time, however, they are much heavier and they are more likely to be the result of the querent having completely lost touch with reality. Needless to say, it can point to money wasted on alcohol. It can also show groups of people pressing the querent for money. The same applies to work, where it may signify criminal activities, abuse at work and horrible miscalculations that end up costing the querent dearly. It can also show a traumatic experience at work. Career-wise, it is connected (like its upright counterpart, but more strongly) to working with corpses and organized religion, as well as to all places and things that are likely to elicit a disgusted or anxious reaction, like loos, sewers, pits in the ground, graves, insects, feces, etc. It is also connected with mental illness.

Other: psychologically, the card is connected to traumas and to mental alienation. This is a heavy-hitting card, and it rarely shows only mild distress. When it shows moral aberration, it signifies that the person has lost any sense of morality and has now strayed on the wrong path.
Spiritually it is connected to rites and rituals of all kinds and of all religions. As anticipated, this is a neutral meaning.
This card can also signify a magic ritual, so it is important when it shows up in questions connected to hexes. Because it represents rituals, this is more than just the accidental projection of negative vibes to people we hate or envy (the evil eye, “malocchio” in Italian).

Important Combinations:
6♥ + 3♠R = a traumatic past
6♦ + 3♠R = processing a trauma | mental aberration | planning to do something wrong, wrong conduct
7♥R + 3♠R = derangement | intelligence bent to negative ends
4♥ + 7♠ + 3♠R = being profoundly scarred by a breakup
3♠R + K♠ + 8♣ = a religious rite of some kind
