Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards - Daily Draw

Although I know daily card draws are never as influential as a formal reading, I'm still a little uncomfortable with the outcome of this morning's Lenormand Daily Card Draw.

I decided to try a daily draw with another oracle to see if it will confirm the message shown in the Lenormand. I wanted to try something different, so I chose the Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards, and they most definitely confirm that treachery is afoot! [How's that for a little drama? ]

Here's what I drew...



Journey could represent an actual trip, but I don't have anything planned, so perhaps it simply refers to forward movement or progress. Thief could be an enemy, or perhaps simply deception, and Loss is loss.

I don't have much experience with interpreting this oracle, but even a newbie can see that this is not a positive reading.

Now I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop!

I love the look of those cards; I had considered starting with those instead of Lenormand, but opted to go with Lenormand as it has a decent presence of people working with it so I have people to talk to and learn with or from.

I've recently fallen in love with these cards myself, and it's frustrating that there are no good books available to learn the Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards. Perhaps that's a good thing though, because it will force me to let the cards speak to me rather than simply regurgitating someone else's meanings.

I considered that I might be biased by the previous reading myself, but I get the exact same feeling from these cards. It think it might be worthwhile at this point to try an actual spread to see what more I can pick up on this situation. I might try something with the Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards and post it here.

Thanks for you insights!

There is one book from Esther Gambor.

Hi greieras,

Thank you! I am familiar with Esther Gambor's book, but because it's self-published her asking price of over $50 US is a bit steep. I wonder... do you own this book? Does anyone have this book and absolutely love it??

Esther offers a preview of her book on her website which includes one spread and a couple of card meanings. The book looks pretty good, and I may consider purchasing it at some point, but in the mean time I have picked up some good tips from reading Esther's blog Gypsy Cafe. She describes some of the mini readings she's done for clients, which are worth looking at for insight into how Esther reads these cards.

Your drawing is not very positive but I've found out the Loss sometimes could mean "keeping the cards in your own hands"...

Hi Wildcat,

I like your take on the Loss card, I'll have to think how that might apply to the other cards in the spread. Perhaps the risk is for some kind of betrayal if I don't keep my cards close to my chest.

Thank you for you insights!

I figured the trip and the thief meant being evasive and the two men sitting at the table reminded me of laying it out/cards on the table. So, here's my take.

Hi Ana,

Thank you for your insights! I'll have to think about what it could be that I've been keeping to myself for a long time that I'm ready now to reveal. I also really like your take on the Loss card as 'laying out one's cards on the table'- I will definitely keep these interpretation in mind when the card appears again in a reading!

Thank you again, everyone, for sharing your thoughts, comments and insights!!

ETA: When I figure out exactly what these cards are referring to, I'll post some feedback on this thread!

Interesting daily draw for tomorrow...



Unexpected Joy + Letter looks like some unexpected news on the way that will make me very happy. Message confirms that a message is on the way, and that it will come quickly. Message could also indicate that the news is important and may have far reaching consequences.

I decided to draw an additional card for clarification to see if I could find out something about the news coming, and I drew Loss.



I'm not sure how to interpret the Loss card... Perhaps Message + Loss indicates that I shouldn't jump to any conclusions or make any rash decisions based on the news. Maybe I am warned to keep my own counsel until I understand the full consequences of the message.

We shall see!

I think, you're right something good is on its way but you must think things over before acting or reacting!!

Thank you, Wildcat! I'm glad to know I was on the right track with interpreting these cards.
