Tell A Fortune – Three Card Draw

3 04 2008

Today I drew my daily cards from Daphne’s Tell A Fortune deck.  This is one of my favorite oracle decks, and I’ve always found it to be accurate and insightful.  This morning I pulled three cards with nothing particular in mind.

  • 10 of Hearts
  • Queen of Clubs
  • 3 of Diamonds

I really like the idea of reading the center card as the ‘key card’ for the spread.  In this case the key card is a woman in my life who is  reliable and fun and ambitious.  The 10H represents emotional security or career advancement, but it could also refer to a party or celebration.  The 3D carries a lot of meanings including a promise or contract, a small sum of money, part-time work, communication (usually regarding money) or unsustained efforts.

These card suggest a couple of different interpretations to me.  First the QC could represent my sister since it is the card I usually use to represent her.  She is currently helping to put together a baby shower for a friend of her which is taking up more time and energy that she had originally anticipated–almost like a part-time job.

Another interpretation that comes to mind is that my sister will get an opportunity for some recognition and a small raise in pay at work (she does work part time).  She’s a hairstylist, so a promotion is not likely, but a change for the better in her career is certainly indicated if she is willing to put in more effort–extra hours, etc. for success.
