This morning I decided to try another 7 card draw for the coming week to see if I can get another accurate prediction.  Here are the cards that I drew:

Moon + Ring + Coffin + House + Woman + Dog + Ship

Moon next to Ring represents ‘a proposal,’ and Coffin represents an ending. My first impression of these cards was that I would learn that an engagement will be called off for a female family member (House + Woman) and that her fiance would move away (Dog + Ship).

I couldn’t think of who this person might be, since I don’t know of anyone in the family who is presently engaged to be married.

Then another interpretation jumped out at me that makes more sense in terms of what’s already going on in my life. I just worry that I might be reading into the cards since this deals with a situation I’m already aware of. Here’s my breakdown:

Moon + Ring + Coffin + House = a proposal on a house falls through or meets serious obstacles.
Woman + Dog + Ship = a woman and her husband from far away, or a woman and her husband leave.

My brother-in-law’s sister and her husband have decided to relocate to the area where I live, and the husband has been here all week house hunting.  I have not yet heard if he’s made a proposal on a house, but these cards may indicate that whatever proposal he makes will fall through.  This is actually good news for me because I’d prefer if they did not move close by (long story).

Honestly, I think either interpretation makes sense, and so it will be interesting to see how these cards end up playing out this coming week.

I’d love to hear if anyone has another possible interpretation for this spread.

Feed back 5/9/09:  Well, this spread did not refer to the proposal on the house because it went through smoothly, and the building has already commenced.  It’s funny how often the cards do not turn out to be what we at first think.

Unless this situation is yet to manifest, the only thing I can associate with these cards is an invitation to a family wedding that I won’t be able to attend.  The wedding will take place in another area of the country, and I’m not able to make a long-distance trip.

Normally I like to fan out the deck and choose my cards randomly, but that isn’t easy to do with this deck, so I shuffled and dealt my 7 cards directly from the top of the deck.  In the book that accompanies the cards, Titania states that either method can be used.  I drew the following cards:

Tower + Key + Moon + House + Owl + Man + Cloud

I was surprised to see Tower and Moon come up again since they were part of my 3 card draw from last week.  It seems that issue may not yet be resolved.

First I want to break the reading down like I do with the Lenormand, but keeping to the Titania meanings:

Tower + Key = Someone older or someone (or something) from my past brings success, or offers a clue to a situation or problem.

Moon + House = An invitation to someone’s home.

Bird + Man = Man probably represents me, and the Bird indicates nervousness or excitement.  This could also show discussions with a man.

Clouds = worries and uncertainties.

Here’s what I get from these cards:

Someone older or someone from my past offers a clue to a problem or situation.  I’m invited to someone’s house where there is lot’s of discussion with a man about whatever is on his mind or is worrying him.

I think it’s interesting to note that last week I actually received invitations from two people from the past.  One was a male who invited me to join his friends list on Facebook, and the other was an actual invitation from a female to talk.   I had not seen or heard from either in several years.  I’m interested to see if this spread relates back to one or both of these people.

Update Jan 15 – This prediction manifested, but not at all in the way I expected.  The man was invited to my home, and the Bird and Cloud warned of some disturbing news from this person, which was the case.  Looking back over these cards, I don’t know how I might have differentiated between who would be doing the inviting, and that the meeting would take place in my own home.

I’m intrigued though, so I’ll continue practicing with this deck.

I know that this deck is a version of the Petit Jeu Lenormand, but for this exercise I want to forget all of the meanings I’m used to using for the Lenormand, and focus only on the meanings provided for this specific deck in the book Titania’s Fortune Cards: How to Interpret the Cards by Titania Hardie.

This morning I focused on what I need to be aware of today, and drew the following three cards:

According to Titania, The Whip represents Strife and quarrels.  Next to the Tower, the Whip can refer to an argument with someone older than me, or someone from the past.  The Tower is also a card of protection, so perhaps this person thinks they know what is best for me.

The moon is a very positive influence that softens the affect of negative cards.  The moon seems to confirm that this person has my best interests at heart.  So perhaps these cards predict a disagreement with someone (rather than a violent argument) concerning some new ideas.

Since I know from personal experience that daily draws don’t always manifest on the exact day, I’ll give this prediction a week or so to materialize.  It will be interesting to see what this turns out to be!

• The Child
• The Book
• The Man

The child can represent an actual child in my life, and the book can refer to the child’s education or to something totally unexpected happening.  The Man most likely represents me.  Today is my little nephew’s birthday, and we’re having a celebration, so I wonder if these cards are referring to something unexpected happening with our plans.  He’s too young for school, and too innocent to be hiding anything.  I could be that I will end up covering up for a child today.

The other thought I have is that the child and book refer to a new area of study that will capture my interest.  Nothing in the works at the moment, but I’m known to have a wandering eye when it comes to learning new things.

• 9 of Diamonds
• 3 of Spades
• Queen of Spades

The 9D indicates that someone is wishing for me (misses me?) or is wishing on me (wants something from me?).  It can also mean extra money which supports yesterdays draw, and brings a smile to my face.   The 3S can represent a problem, but it also indicates communication or resolving misunderstandings.  The QS is a sexy, passionate, possessive lady.

The first interpretation that came to mind when I pulled these cards was that a woman was wishing to communicate with me to resolve a misunderstanding.  This interpretation makes sense to me as there is a female friend I had a falling out with several years ago, and have not been in contact with her since.  This message has come up before in my daily draws, so it may be that she is trying to contact me.  We’ve both moved since we lost contact, and I have no idea how to reach her either.

The two spades falling on the 9D can also show money problems, which is also true.  I could end up having to pay more than I want for something, or a woman will tell me that I’m overdrawn on my checking account.  Ouch!

Update Dec 11, 2008:

For several months I had been drawing the message that a female friend from the past would be coming back into my life, but time passed and the event didn’t materialize. 

The playing cards, and the Tell A Fortune cards specifically, tend to be very immediate.  Usually an event predicted with these cards will happen within days or within a week or two at most.  

This event regarding the old friend was finally validated for me several weeks ago (10 months after the predictions started showing up in my daily draws).  I received word from an old friend (female) that I roomed with when I was in college more than 10 years ago.  So, don’t lose faith if your predictions seem to take longer than you expect to materialize.  Timing is not an exact science in divination.
