I did my first "unintentional" reading for myself with playing cards today. And I was pleasantly pleased with the results.
The short version is that I was worried about where my relationship with a friend of mine, as I have just realized I have fallen in love with him, is going. We do seem on the brink of something more.
I was worried about it and was about to go type an e-mail to a friend, when something, for some reason, drew my eye to the floor to the left of me. There,sitting on the floor, leaning on the coffee table was one single card. It must have fallen off and somehow something made me look at it at that time. It was the Three of Clubs. I took that as a sign from the universe, never being one to beleive in coincidences.
So I remembered reading post on AT about how you could read playing cards. I was online anyway, so I did a search under "reading playing cards" and I found on one site, for the Three of Clubs:
"good marriage or partnership, long engagement, and then a fast wedding"
AND on another site.
"Love and happiness; successful marriage; a favorable long-term proposition. A second chance, particularly in an economical sense"
That just made me day for more reasons than I can state here, and it does agree with a lot of things my regular Tarot readings have hinted at too.... us being soul mates has come up a number of times...
So my first try at reading playing cards was not done on purpose, but I was so happy with it. I am sure it is not my last try at it.
