In cartomancy readings, psychics use a deck of cards to discern information and discover insights regarding your past, your present or your future, or to answer your specific questions. If your questions primarily relate to romantic issues, a cartomancy reading can be especially insightful.
Usually, a common deck of 52 poker or bridge playing cards with four of the suits including the diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades with the typical cards numbered two through ten plus the Jack, Queen, King, and Ace in each suit is used for a cartomancy reading. Jokers and blank cards can also be added. Each of the suits, numbers, and face cards have meanings that can be related to your questions or specific situation.
Cartomancy readings are a type of future-telling, or divination. Like all types of spiritual readings, they reveal hidden truths and patterns in your present, past or in your future.
The common 52-card deck has been used since the 14th century. It’s believed that this deck type was developed for use in cartomancy readings, and then later for recreational games.

Cartomancy readings do share some similarities with tarot readings. They’re both based on cards with meaningful symbols that are to be interpreted to answer specific questions and to clarify future possibilities. The deck of 52 playing cards may have evolved from traditional tarot decks’ 56 minor arcana cards. In some cartomancy readings, the reader links each of the four suits in the deck to an element of astrology in this way: hearts to water, spades to air, diamonds to earth and clubs to fire. Other readers have different connections and interpretations, which are based on their own expertise and experiences.
Like a tarot readings, a cartomancy reading depends on the experience of a psychic reader who is able to interpret and relate the card’s patterns to the circumstances and person’s life. There’s no one interpretation that will be right for everybody.
