No, I don't know of any references regarding playing card groupings, but you could find out more by searching out your questions with tarot as the focus.

As I base my interpretations on tarot, you should turn up some answers. To expand on your question, when two or more cards show up of the same number, then the energy of that number is intensified.

For example, fives generally mean that there is a challenge to be faced. Two or more of these shows that there are multiple challenges, and the seeker will be either dealing with them well, or not at all.

When there are sequences of the same suit, it means progression or lack of depending on the suit. Does that make sense?

Question: In playing card tarot, what does it mean when the royal suites are facing each other or facing away from each other? Answer: It completely depends on the question.

So, if they are facing away, for example, if it is a question about love or friendship, it may mean that one person is withdrawing or turning their attention away.

It might also mean that someone is wanting independence. If they come out facing each other then it's a good time to keep the channels of communication open.

Or with love, the two people concerned are attentive to each other. Question: Please tell me the playing card suit that matches with each season or element?

Question: I found a Seven of Spades card while walking through town and I've tried to search for some type of meaning in it but can't seem to find anything.

Do you have any insight by chance into the meaning of a found Seven of Spades card? Answer: You could go and research the Seven of Swords in tarot and see if any of the information you find matches up with some aspect of your life experience.

Answer: Usually, you can make an educated guess based on the question and circumstances. If you really aren't sure, then just make a note of it and let the passing of time reveal the answer.

Question: I have read a lot of different meanings for tarot each card. And am confused about it. What are the real meanings?

Answer: There are a lot of meanings for each card, but there is always an individual theme. The core meaning is refusing to see what's in front of you.

However, there is a scale of meaning from negative to positive. So the worst meaning is cutting yourself off, descending into mental health issues, but the positive one is taking the time you need to work out the truth or to make the right choice.

All tarot cards work this way. Think of it as a spectrum of meaning from worst to best. Your job, as an interpreter, is to decide where on the scale the right message lies.

That means using your intuition, weighing up the situation, and deciding which works most appropriately. The problem is that people want to be given the right meaning, but it takes a little practice and skill to read the cards accurately.

As I mentioned in the article, " Question: Does the layout of the cards matter when using playing cards for Tarot? Answer: A layout, or 'spread' can be helpful because you can assign extra meanings to the positions.

For example, a three card reading could have the positions 'past', 'present', and 'future'. Question: Does the Queen of Diamonds represent what every woman in this day and age tries to be or longs to be?

Answer: No, the Queen of Diamonds only represents one aspect of what being a woman means. Other examples: a passionate woman is represented by the Queen of Wands Clubs , an intuitive, empathic woman by the Queen of Cups Hearts , an ambitious woman by the Queen of Swords Spades.

Yet those are just brief examples - Queens, like the other courts, encompass the whole of human nature. Answer: Usually it means the deck hasn't been shuffled properly.

If you are convinced that the cards have been shuffled well, then it means that there is significant progression in the situation.

That the journey through whatever the question refers to is just as important as the outcome. Positive and negative?

Answer: The red cards are usually Hearts and Diamonds. The black are Spades and Clubs. In the deck I use, the red cards are the ones with the tiny red hearts and diamonds.

They are a little unusual. Each suit represents different aspects of life. There aren't any reversed cards in playing card tarot because they appear the same whichever way up they are.

So you have to build the negative to positive meanings into your interpretations. That's where the skill of an experienced reader comes into play. The article above gives you the basic meanings and as you do more readings, you'll be able to build and expand upon them.

Answer: In the traditional interpretations, yes, they do. However, these days, we tend to go by qualities rather than age and gender.

Kings are logical thinkers and outwardly focused. They see the big picture, rather than the details. They can represent actual personalities or characteristics - you have to work on the basis of their suit.

Question: Are there any differences to the meanings if you draw the card upside down? Answer: Playing cards are the same both ways up.

Therefore there are no reversed cards as there are in tarot. Question: My daughter pulled Jack of Clubs, Seven of Clubs and Jack of Hearts. She is wondering how rare is it to pulled this set of cards?

Answer: Well, that's just a pair of jacks, so not very rare. Turning up pairs is common, but significant when reading tarot.

It means the energies of that number, or court card, is intensified. Question: What are the possible meanings of randomly finding a Seven of Diamonds face up in a hallway?

Answer: Well, look at the meaning given in the article and think about whether it has any special significance in your life.

If it does, then analyze it further. To find out more information you can look up the various interpretations of the Seven of Pentacles; the tarot equivalent.

If it doesn't have any personal significance, you can discard the finding of the card as meaning nothing. Answer: There isn't one.

Question: How can you use a standard deck of playing cards without the Major Arcana or the Pages? Answer: You simply read with the cards you have.

You can combine the Knights and Pages into the Jacks, if you wish. Question: Do the Jacks in a playing card deck correspond to the Knights in a tarot deck, not the Pages?

Besides the Major Arcana, I guess the Pages are the only ones who get left out! Answer: You have to remember that playing cards were invented many years before tarot.

Tarot is relatively young compared to playing cards which initially came from China. So the Pages are an addition to tarot so that the games of Tarocchi and Triumphs could be played.

Historians are pretty sure that cards, whichever their form, were never intended to be used for divination. Answer: The main meaning is given in the list above, but if you want to delve further, it's the equivalent of the Ten of Pentacles.

The card is connected to a stable family situation. Security, abundance and a solid inheritance or family home. Answer: Jacks can represent young men or women.

They are connected to youth, immaturity, swift actions. Again, it depends on their suit how active they are and which aspects of life they represent, i.

It can be played in groups, pairs, or solo. All you need is a small bouncy ball and a set of jacks. The goal of jacks is to scoop up the correct number of jacks with one hand and catch the ball before it bounces twice.

To play, you'll need a small bouncy ball, 10 jacks, and a flat surface to play on. First, scatter the jacks on your playing surface. Then, toss the ball into the air.

Grab a single jack and catch the ball after it bounces once, all using the same hand. If you succeeded, you've concluded the "onesies" round.

Rescatter the jacks and toss the ball. Now, you must scoop up two jacks before catching the ball. If you're playing with multiple people, your turn is over if you foul.

This happens if you miss the ball or let it bounce more than once. A foul also occurs if you pick up an incorrect number of jacks or move jacks that you didn't scoop up.

In that case, you would rescatter all the jacks and let the next player have their turn. If your turn comes again, you resume playing in the same round you fouled out of.

For example, if you fouled in the "sixsies" round, you will try to pick up six jacks before the ball bounces twice.

Play continues until somebody sucessfully completes the "tensies" round. Keep reading the article if you want to learn how to play popular variations of jacks!

All you need is a small bouncy ball and a set of jacks, which are six-pronged metal pieces. The number of jacks you need depends on which variation of the game you're playing, though most sets will have ten jacks.

Jacks sets, which include a ball, a set of jacks, and a pouch to hold them in, can be found at most toy stores. The ancient form of jacks was called knucklebones, because instead of today's modern metal jacks, the knucklebones of sheep or goats were used.

Play on a hard surface. Jacks requires a hard, flat, smooth surface for the ball to bounce on. If you're playing outdoors, a wooden porch or a paved surface like a sidewalk or a blacktop is ideal.

If you're playing indoors, a hardwood or a linoleum floor works best. This entry was posted in Culture , Etymology. Bookmark the permalink.
