Jack of Diamonds: Meaning in Playing Card Reading
The suit of Diamonds covers money, news, business, the road. I will tell you what this card means and how to read it in love.
What the card means
The jack of diamonds is a young man carrying news of business or money: a messenger, word already travelling. The news is on its way to you.
Jack of Diamonds in love
A message from a young man, attention shown from a distance.
Jack of Diamonds with the cards around it
Diamonds around this messenger hurry him: the word makes speed, the news about the matter is sound, the runner is already on the road. Spades near him spoil the message, so the news arrives galling or the promise in it turns out empty. Hearts make his news a matter of the heart, and somebody's liking stands behind the message. Other court cards nearby show who sent him and who he is hurrying to.
Neighbours in a spread change the force of a card: its own suit strengthens it, another suit softens or complicates it, and court cards nearby point to real people.
