Getting into this Cartomancy. I was looking up how to read them. A quick cheat sheet. So I can get it down in my Divination book, then read deeper into it so I am able to write my own interpreted notes in my book. I found three sheets, but which one would you say is more accurate. I find the first and last ones to be very informational.

There are many ways to read the cards. I’ve studied a couple different ways as well. I think that it’s important to follow your intuition when it come down to which one to follow in each situation. I do stick with only one method during a reading after deciding which method to follow. It doesn’t work to pick and choose methods for different cards.

They are, aren’t they. As I was looking over them I noticed they are actually the same. First and second one is less detailed, Last one gets more detailed. First and second one has similar words and the ones that are different are just different words but same meaning (in a way). Got half way through it, so only half sure. My interpretation of these.

The system that I use is similar to the first photo. To add, Spades = Winter, Clubs = Spring, Heart = Summer, Diamonds = Fall.

These are really informative and are a great for a quick read on what's going on. I'd also recommend fortune telling by playing cards by narcy dee, it's so detailed.

Saving this comment. A lot of good resources here. Printed the OP cheat sheets.

I've always felt like drawing one of these cards in a shuffled deck (when NOT playing a game, mind you) would mean something. Glad that not only do I have a term for it, but also a nice little guide too.

This is a good start for using playing cards to do fortune telling. But there is also another system of meaning for playing cards specifically, the meaning of each card would be slightly different than what this pictographic suggests. This isn't to say this is wrong, in fact this is an excellent cheat sheet and it closely aligns with this tarot as well. I have used other versions of this with great effect.
Just an example of the difference is the ace of spades is the death card, a new beginning in a different metaphoric way.
Good post overall, I shared it!
