PCO: reading without question

I did this reading in Semptember for my 13 years old sister. Yeah, family’s my Guinea pig . She didn’t want a reading, but i gave her the deck to shuffle and did it anyway. I wasn’t being much serious either, but turns out that the reading was fantastically accurate. And my sister isn’t an open person – i knew nothing of this before the reading.

I used Ana Cortez’s the Playing Card Oracles & the method is one she teaches in her book. It’s called ‘The Bridge Layout’. You put the card 6 of ♣ (which is the Bridge card) in the midle, and then draw other four cards and place them around it. The layout for my sister’s reading was this one:

…2 ♥.
Jack ♥… 6 ♣…8 ♥…
…6 ♥

 

First thing i noticed, before i even tried to see what each position meant: too much water. Too much emotion, maybe? It crossed my mind that it might be the hormones…i don’t know why, maybe because they ‘mess’ with out inner waters…and everything else, actually.
The i saw the numbers…all were even, except for the Jack of ♥, that’s 11. I saw a that she had a ‘Jack’ (a yound boy, probably her age) that was knocking her over. Shehad been until now protected (maybe by the family – 6 ♥.), and now someting is breaking this protection. Slowly of course, since it’s only one card.

Then i started interpreting the cards positions. The Jack ♥ is the past – i saw him as the one who started this big emotional storm that’s going inside her. But because of the other even numbers, i can see she’s still holding it back.
The 2 ♥ represents the gifts of the present and for me it meant obviously that this ‘gift’ was a feeling of ‘love’…not really Romeo& Juliet undying kind of love, just an initial thing (the number is low), something she had never felt before. It made her excited.
The 6 ♥ was in the obstacles of the present position, and it seemed to me it was very hard for her to move on from the comfortable ‘home’ feeling of what she already knew to something more instable. Typical from this age, the difficulties of having to face the world and different experiences and feelings.
In the future position i saw the 8 ♥ as representing that maybe this would become more intense. Not necessarily the ‘love’ thingie, but more the whole ‘emotion’ thing. The card, that is called The Garden, has a serpent in it…i thought that it might be related to a awakening sexuality.

I gave her the reading and she didn’t say anything. Days later, however, she confirmed that i was right, and that she was very surprised, since she hadn’t even asked the question. It was interesting…my first reading without knowing what the other wanted to know. Great for practice!
