BEYOND THIS POINT

INTRODUCTION

SUITS is a powerful tool for psychic exploration and detailed psychic readings. The format is simple so that you can get started right away.

SUITS works with ordinary (American style) playing cards. The energy and important messages found in any deck of cards, can change your life.

SUITS uses 40 of the 52 cards in an ordinary deck of cards. For each of the 40 cards, you will find nine passages. The important messages change depending upon the position of the card during your psychic reading.

As you reveal cards, you simply consult the corresponding passage.

PREPARE THE DECK

SUITS uses 40 of the 52 cards in the deck.

First, remove the Jacks, Queens and Kings. There should be no face cards or jokers. The 40 cards include 10 of each suit.

10 Clubs ♣ 10 Diamonds ♦ 10 Hearts ♥ 10 Spades ♠

THE NINE PARTS OF THE READING

1. The first card provides information about your natural talents and abilities. What is your personal magic?

2. The second card speaks to issues of health and history. What health issues are surfacing? What family influences from the past may be resurfacing?

3. The card in the third position is concerned with friendships. How do you get along with others? How can you improve relationships?

4. The fourth card speaks of your environment, education and opportunities for travel. Which geographic and which educational opportunities are most favorable?

5. The fifth card expresses the lessons and challenges you are encountering. What current restrictions are you facing? Which lessons are you learning? Which lessons are you repeating?

6. The card in the sixth position speaks to issues of love and romance. What romantic opportunities lie ahead? How can you keep beauty and love in your life?

7. Careers and finances are governed by the card in the seventh position. How can you prepare for the future? How can you advance your career?

8. Advice and counsel is offered by the eighth card. This card tells you what you must know in order to resolve the current situation and what action you should take.

9. The new or next situation will be foretold the card in the ninth position. What does the future hold? How can you prepare for tomorrow?

APPROACH THE CARDS

Approach the cards in a receptive and respectful state of mind. Ordinary playing cards carry an energy and important messages. In addition, I aligned the vibrations of playing cards with my own Runes to create these psychic interpretations.

Please take the reading seriously. You will obtain from the reading, that which you carry in your heart.

Once you have removed the Kings, Queen, Jacks and jokers, shuffle the remaining 40 cards while concentrating on any issues of concern.

Gently shuffle the cards, in a side-to-side motion with faces away, so that you do not see the individual cards. Think about any issues that you are facing or questions that you have.

YOU ARE READY

Place the first card on the table. Then, consult the text for that particular card. Because this is the first card, locate the first passage for the card you chose.

For example, if the 1st card is a 6 ♥ SIX OF HEARTS, consult the 1st passage shown for the 6 ♥ SIX OF HEARTS.

Continue revealing the cards, checking the corresponding text for each card. Read paragraph two for the second card, and paragraph three for the third card, etc.

NOTE:  After you have consulted the first three cards, you should reunite those cards and gently shuffle again. Then, select cards 4-6. This way, you will have a chance to receive the same card in more than one position. Repeat for cards 7-9.

There are no contrary (reversed) or up-side-down cards. Most playing cards generally remain in an upright position. If a card from your deck appears reversed, simply upright the card.

HEARTS ♥

This a time of new beginnings and a time for us to work hard and to apply ourselves.

Hearts represent action and growth. So, keep moving toward your goals. The cards can also mark a time for romance and love, new projects, and positive career moves.

1 ♥ ACE OF HEARTS CHANGE

You have selected the first card. You may find yourself waking up from a deep sleep, or moving to the next level with great force and energy.

It is an exciting time when unrealized potential is brought into form. Like melting ice, this card often signals transition. The changes can be dramatic. Even if you are comfortable with the changes, it may take others more time to accept them.

As you approach new territory, some degree of caution is required. This card emphasizes that a transition is underway. Continue to eliminate negativity and refine your plan.

1. You are dynamic and forceful. Others see you as strong willed, stubborn and determined. Recently, there has been disruption or change in your work environment, There may have been setbacks. Control of the emotions is required. The good news is that the worst should be just about over. Outside forces, including time, are on your side.

2. You probably had to entertain yourself as a child. In this position, the card indicates fragmentation in the family as well as relocation. Most likely, you were uprooted, possibly on multiple occasions. As an adult, you are likely to move often. There may have been times when you were not sure where home was. The colors yellow and black appear in your life. At this time, family members may be distant and could be experiencing disruption in their own lives.

3. You have become separated from your friends over the years. This can be viewed as a hardship, or as a part of character building. You have always had a single best friend, though you may have worn out the first one. Controlling your emotions is critical at this time, as any negative emotions will work against you. Try to give more and take less from friendships at this time. Your soul wants to be alone, but your personality wants to be with others.

4. Your education or studies may have been postponed or interrupted in the recent past and may be on hold at this time as well. A casual college or university with a relaxed atmosphere is preferred. There is likely to be an element of chaos associated with your current housing situation. An airy, open living environment works best for you. Travel plans are likely to go south.

5. One important lesson may be to heed the advice of others when it is appropriate. You may need to take responsibility for some of the disruption you are experiencing. The challenge here will be to create harmony and a personal space. Meditation may be required since you cannot control the events and actions of others, only the way that you react. You have an opportunity for success, but it is all up to you now. Be more aggressive, without being reckless, with your investments.

6. There is likely to be frustration in relationships at this time. You have a lot of nervous energy. You may also have a tendency to keep becoming involved with the same type of partner. The shadow of love is evasive. Yet, you need to be in the company of others. Emotional upsets are more likely than not. You may need to wait for the ice to thaw, before things improve. Then, consider a new approach. In the spring, you will spend more time with your partner.

7. Careers favoring professional entertainment are favored at this time. You could be on television. Major changes are occurring in your work or profession. You may have a new supervisor or another strong personality enter the scene. A review or new responsibility at work could be a source of frustration. Stay positive amidst any disruption and dismiss any dissatisfaction with your present career path. Things will improve. A new contact will give you something to think about.

8. Others have recommended that you make some important changes in your life. You may be having trouble making a decision, especially if the situation you are confronting is not black and white. The gray is coming from a lack of information. You are concerned with issues of liberation, freedom, and choice. Avoid the drama as people come and go. You know what you have to do.

9. The new situation is so dramatically different from the current situation, that it is difficult to predict. Expect movement and advantage. Be ready for a radical shift, which could involve maximizing technology. A completely different type of work is possible. The card suggests that you may be in the early stages of a major transformation. Timing will be everything, so stay on the banks until the water is safe.

2 ♥ TWO OF HEARTS NEW BEGINNINGS

You have chosen the card of new beginnings. The card reminds us that each day brings new opportunities, new challenges, and at times, new struggles. The new light of the sunrise is always fresh, clean, and sober.

This card reminds us that with each life there is a crucial pivot point. And throughout our lives, there are many gateways and doors for us to pass through. If the 1 ♥ ACE OF HEARTS card also appears, it is a significant door. This card carries unlimited creative energy, and reminds us that we will have the energy to complete our work.

5. Your lesson is to break free! If you feel trapped in a situation with no way out, try to be more confident. Take inventories of your friends and possessions, then plan and wait for the opportune time. Your challenge is to redefine your own limits, and to attempt the impossible.

APPENDIX A QUESTING

A single card can also provide insight into a specific area or concern. When choosing only one card, concentrate on the issue of concern. Gently shuffle the cards. You will always choose the appropriate card.

Determine which of the nine categories encompasses your issue.

Shuffle the cards, then cut the cards once. Look up the card and read the passage (1-9) that corresponds with your issue.

1. The Self

2. Health and History

3. Friendships and Communication

4. Environment, Education, and Travel

5. Lessons and Challenges

6. Love and Romance

7. Careers and Finance

8. Counsel

9. The Next Situation

BEYOND THIS POINT

Some cards intensify the effect of other cards. Sometimes, related cards pile up together like a coincidence. The combination of all the cards, not individual cards, provides the greatest insight. You should always trust your own intuition, which will transcend the text of any psychic reading.

You may see a particular card keep showing up for a period of days or weeks. A card may linger as you work through a problem or wait for a situation to change. Then, after the passage of time, a new combination of cards may continue to appear.

Please look for my other books on Amazon and Kindle, including Secret Kings, Making Runes, and Reading Runes.

Thank you and best wishes!
