What's in store this year?
A reading using the Chien De Pique Spread
1st row: Queen of Clubs, Queen of Spades, 7 of Diamonds*, 7 of Hearts
2nd row: 4 of Diamonds, King of Diamonds*, Ace of Hearts*, 9 of Hearts
3rd row: 2 of Clubs, Jack of Spades*, King of Spades, Queen of Hearts
The reading:
The first row suggests that your thoughts predominate and guide your path this year. With the two Queens in this row, your thoughts may be on two women who oppose each other in some way. Perhaps they simply have very different personalities. One woman (Queen of Spades) is very independent, perhaps emotionally isolated and highly intelligent. The other woman (Queen of Clubs) is someone who is more social, likes to be the center of attention, and may be connected to your work or career goals. The 7 of Hearts suggests that you will spend a great deal of time wishing and hoping, perhaps fantasizing about one or both of these women. You may have a secret wish or hidden desire to that you have been dreaming about. This year you will be very imaginative and may see things through rose-colored glasses.
The second row shows a great deal of satisfaction on both the emotional and financial planes. With your significator (King of Diamonds) facing the 4 of Diamonds, you will be in a secure financial situation. This card also brings a slight warning not to hold on too tightly so that you aren't able to deal with change. The Ace of Hearts next to your significator followed by the 9 of Hearts is a very positive combination suggesting that your home/love life will bring great pleasure and happiness; it may even fulfill a long-held wish. This row combines security and pleasure and may even relate to moving to a new home.
The third row reveals your fate. The 2 of Clubs shows that your fate concerns a period of vacillation. You may desire to take some action but will be unsure of stepping into new territory. The 2 of Clubs also reflects a feeling that some area of life is passing you by. It reflects feeling walled in by your security (remember the 4 of Diamonds warning). The King of Spades suggests that you may need to make a very important decision that centers around a woman who has an emotional connection to you, possibly a wife or mother. The decision may be out of your hands and up to another person to decide, perhaps an authority figure of some sort (King of Spades).
Overall, this reading suggests you will have a prosperous year. You may get your wish this year and feel a great deal of security, both financial and emotional. There is most likely to be an important decision you have to make and you will experience some indecision before things are resolved. The number of Queens in this reading suggests that women will play an important role in your life this year.
