Hi Guys,

I did a reading and misinterpreted one area, which tended to be a fair indication of influence of Royals.

The direction in which they face!! This is also seen in the major arcanum. Where most of them if not all, directly look out at you, signifying they are addressing you!!

Now, I wonder if we look at say, ten of wands and perhaps 4 of swords to the right, my interpritation would be that you took on to much to handle and should take a break to regroup and go forward.

What is your thoughts on this!!

Blessed be

I’ve always looked at the direction in which they face as been, left past, facing present ,right future, eyes closed avoidance ect..

Hi Crisdee,

Thanks for your input, I think a lot of readers overlook this although i agree it is important.

Blessed be.

Hi,

It may sound strange but I have bee attaching the following meanings to directions which the characters face in the cards:

to the left: they talk more to the emotional sign, the intuitive side

to the right: they talk more to the rational, mind-side.

facing you: they are neutral. Or point to a more rigid message of moral or legal codes.

Cheers

Interesting points raised here on dierction of looks of the cards.
Hey, Payewacker, good to see you back.

To take your exmaple of Four of Swords: this card in itself is 'taking time out' card and in the RW deck the man is looking neither way. His face is upwards, albeit eyes closed.

Similarly with the Ten of Wands, he is not looking at the reader. In fact, we dont see his face at all, and he is sort of avoiding us, almost saying, ''I have enough on my shoulders and I dont have time to look at you''.

To me they are both avoidance looks; the first being willfully going inwards and away from the rest and the second has only time for himself and the load of his burden.

We have to be careful if we make it as a rule of thumb the way the characters look, although it should all be viewed intuitively at the time of the reading and the way the cards are laid out. Although, I agree, it is something that triggers thought.

Cheers PW.
