Is there any way to "translate" your Tarot knowledge into the simple playing cards??

I've used the free program found on this site and the meanings doesn't quite match.

Apart from the outcome...  I've asked whether I wourld end up with someone (yes, love is the beginning of my curiosity   hehe) and while on the playing cards they indicated a "new romance" the Tarot card indicated that my intentions were nothing but selfish (The Devil card reversed).

I'd love to hear from you!

Mmm... I have not had much experience trying to read regular playing cards: they look so flat and meaningless to me after looking at all the beautiful decks I read with... In any case, I have a few friends who always read with them and I have not been able to see any coincidences in meanings, so if there is a way to translate, it is probably not too straightforward.

However, one thing I learned in Tarot is that we are extremely contradictory creatures, so there is nothing strange about seeking and finding a new romance and doing it for selfish reasons. In fact, you could have gotten both meanings -plus a lot more- in a single Tarot reading.

Have you asked yourself what your intentions really are?  

Regular playing cards rely more on combinations than tarot cards.

Tarot cards are more ambiguous and deep than regular cards... (because there are more in the pack 72 vs. 52) Regular cards are more specific and straight foward.  Regular cards don't have major arcana, so they seem to deal less with soul growth and soul learning, and more with daily practical matters.

thank you so much for your reply.  Yeah, I guess there's no "story behind" regular playing cards.   I remember how they were useful though, when I was reading for my friends at school and someone came by we just pretended we were playing.

Regarding my intentions... I don't feel like I'm being selfish because I really want to "connect" with this guy, however.. there's always a little vanity as if proving yourself that you can end up with a nice guy.

hmmm...  or perhaps it is because I'm being more girly than usual so I can melt his heart (he's a Cancer)...  I'm not faking that I'm anything that I'm not on the contrary, I can be more like I am and step out of my mask when I'm with him...

Dont be what you are not Purple Dust... by that I mean, if you want this guy, dont play hard to get. Just be yourself and only then you will find out if this guy is for you.. or cut your losses and move on.. if he is not for you. I think the Devil in a way is indicating that very sort of behaviour ---- bondage, mind games, selfish is fine as we all are, but selfish for the good of all is even better.

From what I have read above, I dont think The Devil has come out for no  reason. I dont fear the Devil card, but it does reflect our state mind and soul. Be gentle to yourself and the Cancerian guy you wish to allure to you.

All the best to you young heart
