HOLMES

5 mature man
Description

He is sitting in the traditional man post so he is keeping his intentions kind of held back, aka he isn’t looking interested, fearful, surprised, worried. he is attentative to what has his intentions like if there wasn’t a person behind the glove he could be looking at the globe of the known world.
Mature men more then young man in some business were the ones who had the power at least til they became to feeble to be the head of the family and then it was passed over. This mature man looks healthy and In full control of his faculities. He has a wealth of knowledge having read all those books behind him (no tv, no radio, it gave him a much need outlet ). This mature man keeps up on the news of the world by collecting all the news papers , it is necessary since he is a businessman he needs to know if shipping by sea will be feasible in the market over there for it is large investment of time and risky for one never knows if the seas will take a shipment. It is for this reason (in my mind ) train travel became more desirable as it the risks were reduce in shipping total losses (course trains do get robbed).
It could be that being a mature man he has practiced lets say law for a long time and is now looking to go practice in a new land for it is something he always wanted to do and now he has the money.
This doesn’t have to be an Englishman looking to go to the Americas for it could be an American looking to go England as well. In particular his brown suit suggests to me leisure and informal then black. He is more easy going then in his youth for time has made him more gentler.

Book description
This figure is representative of all kind of things ,, like a older family figure, to a teacher, to a person of some means.. the main thing is he is on your side unless the false person card is near him suggest otherwise. He is seen in same sex interests as being the other man.

Positions
He is of course a person that can help us when we see in various positions like love and you are not same sex but looking for an member of the opposite he can be the key to introducing us to a new possible mate. Let’s say that you are looking for some advice on how to get out this bind,, this man with his experience and knowledge may have that key to getting you of it.
Suppose you asking about yourself and this card shows up. Well one can look at this what kind of man do I want to be in my mature years. Or perhaps we should look at what type of father we had. Or teacher.

Reversed
This mature man is out to get you for you are in his way. It could even be if you see bad health near it that he is in bad spirits due to his bad health. The main thing is it is generally seen as a man with a negative disposition towards you except in the regard that you are depending on him for help. The reversed may mean he will be late despite his best efforts s you should have a back up plan.

To mix it up
I will do 2 random spreads , one with the card first reverse and another with it upright to simulate a real reading.
For the first reading let us imagine the client is asking about his health (he is just past what he considers his prime years and wonder how many years of good health he has left. So perhaps just in his early 50s )
It is curious to remember that earlier in the excerises we already saw the coffin so we don’t have to worry about seeing death, and some other important cards like poverty is gone. So let see what we come up with.
Taking a quick look for important cards we do see the bad health card but it is reversed which means to me it is a while before he get sick. Going for the full reading let us see.

Picture frame
36 distant horizons, 39 communtiy reversed, 14 message of concern reversed top

10 journey , 8 false person reversed, 36 distant horizons left
It is important that you take this journey you feel for while everyone thinks that the person you are traveling to see is not worth your time, you know they don’t know her, like you do. So you are willing to travel hell or heaven to help her.

5 mature man, 11 sudden wealth, 8 false person reversed.
Your sudden wealth won’t be as much as you hope it will be (you won halfers the big pot instead of all of it ) , so now you have to make it count.

Now I will read with the card reversed. Also apologies with the difference in trying out the cards, I left out various 3 card readings to focus on the card upright and reversed in 3x3 readings.
Let assume the mature man is now asking about love,, he is mature but he isnt’ yet up there in years so it is possible he is can still get a wife. Of coure he isnt’ looking for a debutante. But he is open to it if the parents figure it is a good match. (that was possible back in the Victorian day)
The way the cards went ,, he ended up reversed in the middle .

Picture frame

With the unexpected loss, and the feeling that you are in prison, you really need a change ,, get out there and enjoy life , and then perhaps your love of life will attract someone who is looking for a mature man.
