Intrusion

Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards, manufactured by KVIZ, Hungary

Possible meanings of this combination include: being too harsh or critical with a friend, people turning against each other, it could also indicate friends who are scheming. In very abstract terms this combination is about giving up on something or changing our minds about something that we thought positively about in the first place. However, both the Judge and the Enemy are intrusively looking towards the centre where the dog lies as if they are planning to do harm to it or criticise it.

Change on the Horizon

Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards, manufactured by KVIZ, Hungary

An important decision will have to be made (Judge) and it will result in a major change (Misfortune), however we trust in our decision and we feel that things will work out well in the end (Hope), even though it may take a while to build up a stable foundation. The major theme in this combination is change (Misfortune) which is similar to The Tower card in Tarot; so this means that we have to break down something in order to build up something new, something better or more secure. The way I worked this out is based on which way the characters (in the two cards) are facing: the judge is looking at the lady in the Hope card and she is throwing the roses towards the flames; she does that because she knows that those roses will burn but something else will spring up to replace the old or outdated ways of her being.

Just Do It

The Druid Craft Tarot by Carr-Gomm, Worthington, published by Connections (2004)

This reading is about my dilemma and possibly even the fact that I am procrastinating. I am faced with two forces that are pulling me apart. On the one hand I am comfortable and content in my life, on the other hand I would like to grow professionally and do more and I know I am capable of doing that but I am also being lazy and always avoid acting on what I know I should be doing. The Nine of Pentacles and the Three of Wands were reversed which indicates that although I have all the material things that I may need I am not satisfied because I am not doing enough to realise my dreams. Well, needless to mention what I need to do to counteract this :)

Moving On From Difficult Times

Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards, manufactured by KVIZ, Hungary

As I look at this combination I get a feeling of deep sadness and the need to move on. I feel that the person has been through a lot and he or she has been very sensitive (emotionally) about it possibly even withdrawn from socialising. Whatever happened to the person he or she has been deeply affected and could certainly benefit from some guidance from family and friends. However, things are looking positive as the Journey card brings some energy and movement into the situation that will help this person to move on from these difficult times. 

Sense of Duty

Gypsy Fortunetelling Cards, manufactured by KVIZ, Hungary

The central card is the Officer which can refer to a person but I will be focusing more on the abstract meanings of this card which include office environment, our job, work, a sense of duty. Constancy suggests that something may take a long time to complete or that things are not changing much at the moment. On a deeper level it can also refer to the all-seeing eyes of God or whatever deity one believes in. The House usually refers to the home we grew up in or anything that is connected to our home or the house we live in. However, with the Officer standing in the middle I get this feeling that it all refers to our place of work and that someone is watching or monitoring our work (e.g. supervisor, manager etc.). Alternatively it can mean that our work maybe important or urgent and/or it may also take a while to complete.

Daily Oraculum

This is a very interesting combination as there are two cards that can represent a person. The first card is Sweetheart (also referred to as the Gypsy Queen) who usually represents a female seeker (a lady for whom the reading is done) or the lover of a male seeker, while the second card (Widower) can represent either the seeker's father (or an older male family member) or an older gentleman who is involved either in the seeker's life or the life of the Sweetheart. Whatever the case may be this reading is most likely about the relationship between Sweetheart and Widower. The Widower is turning away from Death and from Sweetheart too. As Death is facing Sweetheart and is also at the centre of the spread this reading is most likely about some sort of change, transformation, renewal, certainty that is to do with Sweetheart. Literally it could mean that this lady needs to accept her father's death and move on or that she is involved with an older gentleman who has been through a lot (he has experienced a lot) and who may want to withdraw from the situation (he is turning away from both cards). Another possible meaning for Widower is loneliness or being alone so this lady may have just become single or needs to be alone to reflect on her life and what changes she needs to make. Death and Widower can also represent other (abstract) concepts in which case we could say that this lady (or the male seeker's lover) is about to experience changing circumstances for which she is advised to rely on rationality (or masculine wisdom) or she may seek advice from an older gentleman. There are more possible meanings that could be drawn from this combination and these will depend on the question that the person was asking about.

This combination of cards stands for the absolute longing and yearning for whatever the person has been planning or wishing for. The Hope card also gives the impression that it may take a long time for an individual's dream to materialise. There is also a sense of sadness and possibly even depression coupled with a sense of wanting to withdraw from everyday activities in order to look within. The gentleman is holding a book which can suggest that he has made plans, studied (did his homework), intellectually prepared for his future. The lady in the blue dress is holding a red rose so she is passionate about what she wants to achieve. Finally the lady in the green dress throws two red roses towards the ship which can indicate that she has set her heart on something and she really wants to get there or do whatever she had planned in the first place, moreover each of them are facing towards the same direction.

There could be a feeling of not being successful or not seeing the whole picture about something that the person loves (doing); or a more obvious way of looking at this combination is that the person will be unsuccessful or disappointed in a relationship as it may turn out to be something different from what they expected it to be in the first place.
