King of Spades: Meaning in Playing Card Reading
The suit of Spades covers hardship, worry, conflict. I will tell you what this card means and how to read it in love.
What the card means
The king of spades is a domineering or difficult man: a strict chief, a rival, at times a widower. The card of someone you will not have an easy time with.
King of Spades in love
A jealous or domineering man, a partner who is hard going.
King of Spades with the cards around it
Spades around this king lay his difficult temper bare: a man used to power, a stern chief, a hard rival. Hearts nearby soften him, and a wounded heart or plain loneliness hides under the severity. Diamonds and clubs move his pressure into work, and he crowds you through money and the job. Should a queen fall beside him, the woman he is tied to by discord or by rivalry becomes clear.
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.
