You don't need a special deck of tarot cards to perform divination—a deck of ordinary playing cards will suffice. I'm a professional tarot reader, but when I don't have a tarot deck with me, I might use a deck of playing cards to provide a useful reading.
I’ve included a bunch of readers’ questions at the end.
A regular tarot deck has an extra set of cards called the Major Arcana that give extra depth and power to the meaning of the spread (layout of the cards). These qualities will obviously be missing when reading with playing cards, but you can still gain some insight.
Which playing card suit corresponds to which tarot card suit?
It's a little bit harder to read playing cards since apart from the court (royal figures) cards, there are no images to guide you. This makes the numbers and the suits more important. Hearts represent cups, spades are swords, diamonds translate to pentacles, coins, or discs, and clubs represent wands, rods, batons, or staves. We will get to the number properties in the next section.
Playing Card Tarot Correspondences
Playing Card Suit | Equivalent Tarot Suit | Correspondences |
Hearts | Cups | Emotions, feelings, relationships. |
Spades | Swords | Thinking, communication. |
Diamonds | Pentacles, Coins, Discs | Practicalities, material world. |
Clubs | Wands, Rods, Batons, Staves | Creativity, action. |
How to Read Playing Cards
- Hearts (like cups) represent the realms of emotions and feelings. Heart cards cover not just love but the whole range of human emotion, from despair and powerlessness to contentment and joy. Hearts also represent relationships because relationships tend to engender the full range of emotions, especially in the early stages.
- Spades (like swords) are connected to all aspects of thinking and communication. Spades represent 'head-stuff', if you like. So lying would come under the rule of spades, as would writing, studying, and decision-making. Spades and swords are also associated with taking (constructive or destructive) action, like making changes, using force, asserting power, displaying ambition, having courage, or facing conflict.
- Diamonds (like pentacles, coins, or discs) can offer insight into the practicalities of life. Diamonds reflect all practical, material aspects, including home, work, business, projects, property, and money—all the things we can touch, and yes again, relationships, but from a practical viewpoint. Diamonds may also indicate health issues.
- Clubs (like wands, rods, batons, or staves) are action cards. Clubs may be a call to action in the realms of creativity, business, intellect, or relationships. They represent action, adventure, risk-taking, or competition. They can also refer to physical or spiritual energy, inspiration, intuition, ambition, and growth.
Spades—like swords in a tarot deck—are connected to all aspects of thinking and communicating.
What Numbers Mean in Tarot Cards
Knowing the properties of numbers will give you a solid framework on which to base all card readings, whether they be playing cards or tarot. Remember that each attribute has a positive and negative aspect. For example, fours mean stability but they can also mean feeling stuck.
Tarot Playing Cards by Number
- Ace: Beginnings (aces are always positive and always represent the new)
- Two: Balance (or delays, waiting)
- Three: Connection (or division, mixed-up communication, plans gone awry)
- Four: Stability (feeling stuck)
- Five: Disturbance (or challenges that can lead to expansion)
- Six: Harmony (or the lack of or yearning for it, but sixes are rarely negative)
- Seven: Mystery (or being overly concerned with superficialities)
- Eight: Movement (or lack of movement, stagnation)
- Nine: Growth (or satiety)
- Ten: Completion (or new beginnings, or new endings, too).
Combining Suits With Numbers
We now have two points of reference for each playing card: its suit and its number. The following table will help you interpret each card. However, the depth of a reading depends upon your skills of seeing stories in the cards, linking them together, and judging how one might influence another. Those skills will only come with practice.
Also keep in mind that these interpretations are necessarily brief, and you can extend them to encompass related concepts. For example, the three of hearts might indicate a party, the four of clubs might mean a wedding or a change of residence (each event is the culmination of a period of
hard work). Be creative in your interpretations.
One other noteworthy point is that the two feminine suits, Hearts and Diamonds get more positive after the five, but the masculine suits of Clubs and Spades go into decline and veer towards the negative. For example, the Nine of Hearts often represents emotional fulfilment, but the Nine of Spades is the opposite, indicating thoughts of despair and unworthiness. Nine of Diamonds is self-sufficiency and independence, whereas the Nine of Clubs is exhaustion and the need to rest.
The face cards in a regular playing card deck correspond to court cards in a tarot deck.
The Court Cards
The court or face cards (Jacks/Knaves, Queens, and Kings) can be read in two ways—they can either represent general personality traits or they can point towards real people. You have to work out which applies in the context of each particular reading.
What the Face Cards Represent
The Joker
The Joker is the equivalent of the Fool in the tarot and, as such, it means unlimited potential, a simultaneous ending and beginning, taking a big risk but having trust that all will be well. In many decks, the Fool is depicted as a young, carefree-looking man standing on the edge of a precipice. It is a powerful card. It would be a good idea to mark this card to indicate a 'right way up' or a 'wrong way up', so that it can show the reverse meanings of folly and foolishness.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cards are in a tarot deck?
There are 78 cards in a standard tarot deck, which includes both the Major and Minor Arcana.
- There are 56 suit cards in the Minor Arcana: Ace (one) through 10 and four face cards.
- There are also 22 "trump" cards in the Major Arcana.
There are 52 cards in a standard playing card deck, plus a Joker (there are two jokers but you’d only use one), so if you don't have a tarot deck, you'll be playing without the knights and the Major Arcana.
What is the Major Arcana?
The Major Arcana, also known as the trump cards, are 22 picture cards that have archetypal and allegorical meanings and divine Egyptian, kabbalistic, and/or Jungian interpretations. Some suggest that these cards correspond to the stages of life (that begins with 0, the Fool, standing on the precipice). They usually employ a Roman numeral (from 0 to 21) to visually separate them from the Minor Arcana. For example, 1 is the Magician . . . and 21 is the World.
If I'm doing a tarot reading with playing cards, which cards represent Death, the Hanged Man, the Tower, etc?
Since a regular playing card deck doesn't include the Major Arcana (except the Fool, 0, represented by the Joker), you won't be using those cards.
What about reversed cards?
Reversed, or upside-down, cards don't occur when reading playing card tarot. As the cards look the same, whichever way they face, it's not applicable. However, if you think about it, the whole negative to positive spectrum of meanings is already in the card. It's your job to interpret which meaning is the most accurate.
As you probably guessed, hearts correspond with cups in a tarot deck and represent the realms of emotions and feelings.

Readers’ Questions
Sophia:
So I always see tarot readers figure out zodiac signs/zodiac elements in readings. What cards here have anything to do with the signs/elements? Can you list them off? If there even are any of course.
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hi Sophia, the four elements are exactly the same as tarot, so Clubs = fire, Hearts = water, Spades = air, and Diamonds = earth.
I can't list out all the cards/zodiac signs, sorry (there's 52 of them). You'll have to look them up. Just work out which tarot card is the equivalent and do a search on it
Personally, I don't often include the signs as they apply to the cards in my readings. The person's birth sign is enough for me. Tarot was never meant to align with astrology anyway. They are separate systems that have been shoehorned together - it's a bit clumsy, I think.
Eden:
If you add the jacks from another deck they can work as the knights (just add a mark to know the difference). I've also heard a friend say they used some cards from another deck to represent the major Arcana.
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hi Eden, playing cards have their own character and energy - if you want a full tarot deck, you may as well buy a tarot deck :)
Graham G:
I've been a Rune user for years, but your explanation of Tarot is the best...and most clearly presented - explanation I've ever come across Bev. I've always loved the artwork in Tarot decks, but thought the meanings were too complicated to master...until now. So, big 'thank you' Bev. Graham (edited).
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
You are very welcome, Graham. I'm glad it helped. I've never used Runes although I do have a set. Maybe you could point me to some good resources?
Jet:
OMG! this was really helpful. I’ve always wanted to do this and I FINALLY after a month or searching. I finally found the perfect article YOURS! thanks for writing such a good guide to tarot card reading!
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
You are very welcome, Jet.
HG:
What’s a good age to start?
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
It's not about age, HG, it's about having enough life experience to draw on when interpreting the cards. And enough wisdom to deliver the message with tact and sensitivity :)
Justina:
Hello, I really like your interpretations of cartomancy and the article about it. I have always used celtic cross way of reading playing cards and it is great. Though sometimes I feel like mixing it up a little bit but I have no idea where to start. Do you know a different ways to spread the cards?
Also sometimes I feel like I can't do a reading for a certain person or at a certain time. Do you have any personal insights about that? I would really find a personal 1:1 advice helpful. Would that be possible to arrange? Thank you
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hi
Justina, I love the Celtic Cross too, but I probably wouldn't use it with playing cards as it just too complex (I like to see the pictures).
I know what you mean about those times when the reading just doesn't click. How I deal with it is to explain to the person that I'm having trouble connecting the card to their question. So then what I do is to talk about each card in general terms and ask them if it means anything to them. That usually works and sometimes it's to do with another family member.
I can't do one to one mentoring, I'm sorry. However, there are plenty of articles here to help uou and I am happy to answer any questions if I am able.
Willow:
I really do respect this post and your vast knowledge of information; although, I am a little confused about where you're getting your numerology calculations from. Could you please specify?
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hi Willow, it is general numerology knowledge - widely available. Of course, systems will vary.
Angelica:
Please, read for me in tarot. Thank you. Waiting
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Sorry Angelica, that's not how it works. You can get a free one-card reading by requesting one via the link on the main page.
Gail:
I love it! This site is so insightful and I've been doing tarot cards for 18 plus years! After all that time, I'm still learning so much!
Thank you!
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Thank you, Gail. I feel the same - as though I'm just scratching the surface :)
Kayla:
Hi Bev,
Do the colors have any significance? Say a red heart opposed to a black heart or black club opposed to red club? Thank you
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hi Kayla,
In traditional decks, hearts and diamonds are always red; clubs and spades are always black. If they are any different to that, then they are novelty decks that I wouldn't recommend reading with.
So there aren't any black hearts or red clubs :)
Nikki:
All four suits of jack flipped out one after the other when shuffling . Can you tell me what this means
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
What is more important is what it means to you, Nikki. It depends what you were thinking about, what question you were going to ask, what your circumstances are, etc. What was your instinctive reaction to seeing them?
Jacks are equivalent to Knights and Pages in tarot. So are a mix of action and exploration. If you are thinking of doing some new thing or venture, then seeing all those should give you a positive message.
Shannon:
I have received the 8 of hearts two days in a row now. What can you help me to understand with that card?
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hi Shannon, someone will be detaching themselves emotionally. There may be pain, but a difficult road must be taken.
Faiza:
You don’t mention how many cards you should pull for a reading.
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hi Faiza,
That's because it depends on what the reader wants. Many will devise their own spreads. Lots will just use three cards: past, present, future. Some are happy to ask yes/no questions where one card is sufficient. Yet others want to go for the full 10-card Celtic Cross.
There wasn't enough room in this article to cover all that. However, in this
article I give examples of one to five-card readings.
Ama:
Hello! Thank you for putting together this wonderful resource! The table really helps me.
I’ve been working with a mini Rider-Waite deck for years... just as a personal development tool for when I wanna ask myself tough questions (or avoid them!) or feel myself approaching a crossroads/crisis point, etc... as a prompt for journaling.
I moved to a new country one month ago, and realized I had forgotten to bring my deck — which I immediately began to miss and crave very much, as new situations, opportunities, perils, and crossroads began to develop. I didn’t realize how much I would miss being able to turn to the tarot deck as a starting point for self-reflection and context.
I have been finding a playing card in my path about every 3 days. I love finding them!!! They have turned up at the most perfect moments to punctuate my unfolding story (awareness) into little chapters.
Now I’m trying to internalize how the suits correspond to tarot suits, so I don’t have to check my phone every time I find one just to make sure. I get thrown off by the colors — red fiery diamonds always make me think of wands, and black earthy “clovers” make me think of pentacles. Hearts=cups is the only one I don’t second-guess myself on! I only started to remember spades=swords when I stopped thinking of garden tools (earth... pentacles) and started focusing on the pointy tip (pointy! swords!)... now I’m copying your table in my journal for reference. Thank you for providing this resource.
I found my first Jack the other day — Jack of Diamonds — and I’ve been turning over in my mind the question of Page vs Knight, or a melding of the two. Your descriptions help a lot!
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
You are very welcome, Ama.
There are other systems that change the correspondences between tarot suits and playing card suits. See how it goes for you... if you feel strongly that they should be different than these, then change them. It's not set in stone, and it's all about what works for you.
Meredith Rose:
First, this is wonderful. Its so convenient and there are so many ways I can decorate my cards, such an easy and fun way to learn.
That being said, ive done several practice readings for myself and I was just wondering, If Ive drawn a card, lets say a seven of spades, the listed correspondence seems a bit negative (Mystery or overly concerned with Superficialities). I was under the understanding that for every negative correspondence there is a positive. So is there a positive one for each of the cards that you've given only a negative correspondence to?
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hi Meredith, Thanks for your kind words.
The best way to expand the meanings of each card is to explore the corresponding tarot card, i.e. the Seven of Swords. So that would give you a huge amount of extra layers of meaning. Space is at a premium in a table, so I had to go with one or two keywords.
When it comes to the Seven of Spades, as well as the meaning given, you can think along the lines of 'restoration'. In the terms of restoration of justice, or regaining something previously lost. The traditional meaning is theft, or retrieving something that was taken from you.
All the cards are so complex that it would take a book to explain them all. And on top of that you have to allow your own intuition to kick in. I'd suggest that getting yourself a good tarot book might help you with your readings.
Good luck.
Esther:
If the cards give all meanings n purposes whats so magical about it..? I mean im a witch n pyscich so basically you have no gifts or need no gifts to read a defenition ,,its all so general,,example oh in past you had family parties ?? Who hasnt ?? You see money going back n forth,,really ? What a waste of time and boring at that,,am i missing something?
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
It's true, anyone can read the cards. The meanings, especially of tarot cards, have been published for centuries. But, yes, you are missing something (as well as decent grammatical skills). A gifted and accurate reader needs intuition and well-practiced skills to deliver a valuable and useful reading. Have you never had one?
Keso:
I got Joker Facing wrong side down, 9 of clubs and 2 of hearts.
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Lovely, Keso. What do you think it means?
Paul:
Hello Bev.
I'm Paul. Ive been on a quest to become a Cartomancer. But so far its been hard.
Ive become so confused because ive read book after book and looked at website after website and have found that there is no "one true way" to learn how to read cards.
This voice in my head that ive heard since i was teen (im 35 now) told me to "learn how to read". I didnt understand what the voice meant. Until a few weeks later i stumbled across a youtube video on fortune telling with regular playing cards. It was a gypsy method of only the 9's up through to the Aces. So i dabbled with it and was completely astounded to find that i had made very accurate predictions for my best friend. He persuaded me to learn the Tarot. Thats when i realized what the Voice meant. "Learn to read" the cards.
The gypsy method was accurate yet incredibly vague. So i started reading books. Researching websites and watching endless youtube videos on Cartomancy. But after months of this ive completely stopped all learning. Nothing made sense. Every method was the same yet with subtle
differences. Sometimes major differences. None of them "felt" right to me. I even memorized the major arcana cards. Well 4 or 5 key words for each card. I stopped learning because i realized that i was learning solely based on chance. None of it "felt" right. Everyone claims their meanings for cards are the most correct.
So a week ago i stopped all research and learning. I gave up. That was until a few days ago. I had a very sad dream one night. A recurring dream ive had of my first love. She and i were together for only 2 years. But those 2 years shaped me into a completely different man. Betrayal, lies and heartache will do that to a person ...
So back to the dream: in these recurring dreams i never truly see her but i "feel" her presence or hear her voice. Im always chasing her. Desperately looking for her. Looking for an answer to why she didn't
love me. Looking for closure. But i always wake up in tears. But the dream i had a few nights ago was different. Because as i was doing my usual routine of looking for her i saw a playing card. The 8 of Hearts. It was something new.
So when i woke up i started looking up meanings for it. But once again all i found were contradictory definitions. Some even spoke of Happiness or a growing bond. None of the various meanings of the 8 of Hearts came close to describing the feeling of my recurring dream.
None except yours. "8 of Hearts: Emotional detachment, leaving love behind, making a hard choice"
When i saw your definition i got goosebumps. Your definition perfectly describes my dream and what actually happen between me and her. She was emotionally detached.
I was the one that left her. Left my love behind. I made a hard choice. Probably the hardest in my whole life. But it was the right choice.
So my question to you is this: why would i see the 8 of Hearts in my recurring dream but the only card interpretation that correctly explains its meaning is your interpretation? Is this coincidence? Is it fate? I see it as my subconscious new i was about to give up on my new journey of becoming a cartomancer and gave me a way to choose a method that i would resonate with so deeply. It used a very powerful and painful memory of my first love to point me in the right direction.
Is this possible? Im really curious to see what you make of this. I feel like this isn't just a whim anymore. It feels like fate in the making.
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hello Paul,
That's a fascinating story. Especially the "Learn to read." whispers by your inner being/intuition. I would suggest that those words apply to other things as well as the cards. For example, paying attention to synchronicities, signs, numbers and symbols that occur and reoccur. Often you won't understand their significance and that's okay. Just let them be and all will be revealed in due course. Don't strain, just keep an open mind.
Learning to read the tarot can seem both prescribed and confusing when you are starting out. The trick is to take one system (like the Rider-Waite) and use that as the framework on which you hang your own intuition and experiences.
You must never be afraid to let your own life experiences inform your readings. When random thoughts and memories pop into your head when you are reading the cards, they do so for a reason.
The 8 of Hearts interpretation is a standard one for the Eight of Cups, not mine particularly. Eights are always about movement or the lack of it.
So, when applying the qualities of the number to the suit of Cups, you get this 'emotional letting go'. In the Rider-Waite deck, the figure has turned his back on emotional fulfillment (in the present) to undertake a journey that may be difficult but ultimately will have its own reward - as shown in the Nine.
My advice is to stop trying to absorb too much from a wide range of resources and just stick to one for the time being. Something like 'Tarot, Plain and Simple' by Anthony Louis. He uses the Robin Wood deck which is based on the Rider-Waite, but with useful extra symbolism (best Devil card ever). It's the deck I keep in my head when using any other deck.
Leave the playing cards behind and focus on tarot. Then instead of memorizing the cards, the imagery will always remind you what the card means, and your intuition will fill in the gaps.
Good luck, Paul.
Jordan:
hey Bev.
I have been pulling out a random card every day, to help familiarise myself with the deck and make it easier for me to remember all the cards. i came into reading these cards thinking there was no possible way this stuff could be legit so I used this, one card a day thing to see if it represented what happened that day. my results surprised me every day my cards reflected the what had happened to me that day.
For the last week, I have pulled the same card, the ace of hearts. which is kinda creepy considering how much I shuffled the deck daily. is there a more in-depth description of the card that will help me get a grip on why i have been pulling it out every day?
thanks Bev
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Sure Jordan, just look up the Ace of Cups on a search engine. The tarot Ace of Cups is equivalent to the Ace of Hearts. Sounds like love is/will be playing a big part in your life.
Natalie:
I keep getting the queen of diamonds when I do readings about this girl I really like. Two examples of when I got that card was in a three card spread of past present and future. It said that was her future. Another I just Did a one card spread and I asked if she liked me. These aren’t the only times though, I think I’ve gotten it close to 75% of the Times I do readings about her. Do you think this means anything, or am I just making it up in my head? I do shuffle the deck well before each useage, and I don’t think it is just a coincidence.
On a side note thank you very much for this article, I love it so much.
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Well, the Queen of Diamonds is equal to the Queen of Pentacles in tarot. As a character she is a practical, down-to-earth person. She gets on well with other people. She's maternal, a nest-builder but can also be a career woman--she would be a midwife or work in a practical, supporting
role.
In answer to your question, it's not the most helpful card to appear because it's not really a yes, or no (unless you assigned red cards to yes, and black cards to no).
You could try repeating the reading after removing the court cards from the deck.
Love:
Thank you for the helpful information!! I do have a question... I’ve always wanted tarot cards or Oracle
But someone once told me it’s bad luck to buy your own tarot cards (not sure about the oracle cards) and that if it’s meant for you they will find you them selves? Is this true?
Thank you once again!
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
No, that's a complete myth. You can buy your own cards with no worries at all. If you wait for a deck to find you, it might be a long time coming.
They aren't some special, magical things made by fairies, just images on card printed in a factory. The magic happens when your intuition connects with those images.
alias:
Thanks for posting this! I'm rather young and want to study Tarot. I was thinking about getting my own deck but never had the time to do so. But when I found this article, I was very happy! Is there any tips for any newcomers who are just getting into spiritual and fortune-y things?
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Thank you for reading. I have loads of tarot, spiritual and all kinds of articles on this site.
ella:
hi Bev, I am learning to read cards from your website, and it is really helpful from the few attempts I have made, even though I have not liked the answers I believe that I have read them right. just one thing though, you mentioned it depends which way the cards (joker) comes out (face up/down). does this mean I need to shuffle the cards to make all the cards face different ways???
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hi Ella, no. Playing cards don't have reversals like tarot, because they are a mirror image whichever way you look at them. It's not face-up or face-down, by the way. They all have to be face-up.
The Joker can be marked, and that's only if it is your personal preference to do so. If it comes out in a reading upside down, then its meaning is weakened or distorted into 'folly'.
If this is confusing, then just leave the Joker as it is. Learn the cards first and then you can change things up to suit your style of reading.
Remember that the meanings I give in the article are just the tip of the iceberg, you can expand on them as you like, and according to the question and circumstances.
Good luck, Ella.
Rascal:
What kind of spread should I put the cards in to read them? I've seen multiple different ones and I want to know which spread would be most suitable for a beginning reader.
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hi Rascal, if you are a complete beginner, stick with one card readings.
skygal:
Hi Bev,
I just found your article while searching on how to read playing cards. Very interesting; I did a 5 card reading asking about my previous career as a Flight Attendant. I resigned in 2014 and have regretted it. I asked the cards if I will become a Flight Attendant again. I was not sure about the cards positions I was following, the cards are: 5 of Diamonds, Ace of Clubs, 8 of Diamonds, 7 of Diamonds, King of Spades. I hope you can help me understand, thanks.
BTW, do I have to cut the cards? Cause I did not.
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Hi skygal,
I would suggest that you forget that reading and simply draw one card to answer your question. I avoid interpreting other people's readings because they are essentially a snapshot of the energy around you at that point in time. So formulate your question carefully, set your intention, shuffle (cut, or not) and draw one card :)
Mariah Ann V.:
The information I have in my book that you are saying it's nothing like what youre saying...
I am just beginning this process and in current state of labeling and making my cards my own and with that I got a book in the mail and as I said the information that you're providing does not match up with what I am reading at the moment so can you explain that is there different meanings to everybody because they are not alike whatsoever?
Bev G (author) from Wales, UK:
Mariah, my system is based on traditional tarot: the suits, the elements and
the numbers. You can 'verify' by reading up on the structure of tarot and how it works. Cheers.
