Hi there  to use regular playing cards as a divination tool the correspondance is as follows :
Clubs = Wands
Hearts = Cups
Spades = Swords
Diamonds = Pentacles

I think what the others are trying to say is that it is hard to tell what the meaning of your cards are just by stating an order-- if you could post the style of spread that was used in the reading it would be easier. There are several types of spreads used in tarot and different amounts of cards are used in each--and someone who is reading your cards can come up with their own spread--and each can result in a different interpretation of the cards.

Deborah and Saldaba6  were kind enough to give you the conversion of the suits from a deck of playing cards to their Tarot suit:  Hearts equate to Cups, Diamonds to Coins (Pentacles), Spades to Swords and Clubs to Wands. (Rods).

I did come across this site of someone who does spreads using a regular deck of playing cards and who you can e-mail--you might wish to take a look there also:

I hope this is of some help. Perhaps if you post your question with more information someone will be able to give you the answer you seek.
