Shustah Three Card reading

Hi Contessa,

I love these cards too!

Here are some additional insights...

The Card of Destiny can show that destiny has a hand in the situation. This card can also indicate change, or fluctuating energies. Like the Lenormand Moon, it can also represent the emotions.

If you keep in mind that when you do an astrological wheel spread, you're basically doing a horary chart on the situation in question. If you think of the Card of Destiny as the influence of the Moon in the chart, the card may make more sense to you. I'm not sure if you have a background in astrology-- if so, it helps, but it's not necessary by any means.

The combination of the Card of Destiny and the Lord of contemplation can indicate indecision, or going back and forth in your mind over the matter at hand.

Yes, Taurus is a very grounded energy. It's steady and slow moving, but it's also very productive-- although success usually takes longer than one would hope. Taurus can also indicate holding on too tightly, to something. So these cards could indicate feeling torn about whether to release someone or something.

Taurus is also the natural ruler of the 2nd house of money and personal resources, so if your question had to do with finances, it shows long range success through dedication and perseverance.

Hope this helps,
K

Kapherus... do you have significators with the Shustah cards for certain people in your life?

Hi Diane,

Yep, I sure do-- for all the oracles I read, not just Shustah. What I find most interesting is that when a card I use to represent a certain person in my own life turns up in reading for someone else, it almost always represent a person with similar temperament in the querent's life (people are not always so different as we might think).

Kapherus, I wish I could download your brain into a .pdf document, and I do so mean that in a good way

Hi Contessa,

As far as I know, there's only the one book by Ann Manser and Cecil North.

I was very fortunate to have lived and worked in the St. Petersburg, FL area in the early 1990's when Shustah had its renaissance. I learned the divination side of Shustah from a woman who studied directly with Cecil North, and I also had the privilege of attending a workshop with Mr. North. He is (I'm assuming he's still with us) a very gifted astrologer, and a master of color therapy.

I've considered writing a book about my experiences with Shustah, but I don't know how popular the cards are today, and there might not be a market for another book. I know the cards are OOP, and eventually the available stock is going to run out. In the mean time, I may decide to sit down and put together an e-book or correspondence course at some point in the future since Shustah finally seems to be catching on online.

Yes, I really like the way you interpret your daily spreads too! I think this idea could work well for other oracle cards too. I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks for sharing your method!

anyway... I hope you understand what I'm saying.
Love and Light,

Hi Diane,

No, seriously! I kid you not that it never occurred to me to read the 3-card spread as morning, afternoon and evening. I wasn't just being humble or nice. I've read three cards as 'past, present, future' and 'premise, problem, solution (or outcome),' but I've never thought to apply each card to a portion of the day.

So the credit is definitely real and honest-- I do plan to try out this method myself. Cross my heart.
