More Livre du Destin...

A friend, who asked NOT to be named, shared this:
"I’ll give you my first impressions based on the imagery and not on traditional keywords. It’s all very unfiltered and possibly also unhinged, so viewer discretion is advised!"

1. A Man of Law (KH) - He looks pompous and condescending, and possibly quite superficial. He’d be someone who hangs out at the Fancy Men’s club and who makes fun of people behind their backs. 

2. A Chamberlain (JH) - Prettyboy, but not very clever. Likes to woo women and considers himself the most eligible bachelor in town. Secretly fantasize about being spanked by the butchers wife.  

 

3. A Widower (KS) - Sarcastic, dark sense of humor. Detached and not particularly caring. I don’t think he liked people to begin with.  

 

 

4. A Man with Brown Hair (KC) - Married but a bad husband. Secret pervert. Drinks too much, gambles and has a thing for prostitutes. His hand is reaching for his pocket where he keeps all his small change that he tips the street women with.  

 

 

5. A Fair Lady (QH) - Young woman who has lived with her elderly mother a very long time, and now wants to be married off quickly, because she fears that she might have accidentally popped her ‘flower’ while riding too intensely on the trip to the country fair last week. Pretty and naive. 

 

 

6. Hope (QD) - Being stuck in one’s way. The attitude that ‘all you need is hope’, and that no further effort is needed.  

 

 

7. Widow (QS) - I sort of like her. But she looks like she’s inconvenienced by her widowhood. That overly puffy dress will surely make her life more difficult and she might be resentful because of it. I think she can be mean, but she has more layers to her, deep underneath that puffy dress…  

 

 8. A Dark Lady (QC) - Fancy and clever woman. Learned. A little bit bitchy but fun to have as a friend.

 

 

9. A Fair Haired Young Man (JH) - His family expects a lot out of him and he does not want to let anyone down. He’s a bit dry and held back, not the most passionate lover but a decent person.  

 

10. A Soldier (JD) - He looks like a patient and resourceful individual. He has a clear plan and likes to consider all aspects. His situation is ongoing, no changes in the near future.

 

 

11. A Man From the Country (JS) - He looks like the younger brother of the family; the one who works hard but who also writes sweet poetry on his lunch breaks. He desires a good wife and ten kids.  

 

12. A Dark Haired Young Man (JC) - Very feminine looking man. (Drag?) Fashionable. Doesn’t like to get his hands dirty and wouldn’t know how to build a chair or clear the gutters. 

 13. The House (AH) - The two doves look like they’re getting more action than that poor waving woman. But nonetheless, a very nice home.  

 

 

14. The Business Letter (AD) - An important message or news to come shortly.  

 

 

15. Love (AS) - Ace of spades and dark clouds... hmm that is an odd background for love. I’d say it can also show the dark sides of love, like being obsessed or jealousy  

 

 

16. Money (AC) - Having others make an income for you, or enlisting someone to care for your investments.  

 

17. Marriage (10H) - What’s that book in her hand? The Bible? Or her mother’s handwritten instructions for sexual intercourse? 

 

 

18. Trap or Treachery (10D) - Religious undertones. Snakes that deceive doves?   

 

19. Prudence or Night (10S) - A caution. But upon a closer inspection, those enemies don’t seem to be real threats. So maybe it can be an overly cautious or anxious person? Fear in general. Being affected by the atmosphere and not thinking rationally. 

 

20. Merchant (10C) - Business negotiations. Good for the upcoming fiscal quarter. Also, a good time for an office romance.

 

 

21. Success (9H) - Victory is on your side!  

 22. A Journey (9D) - Trip, journey. Might also be a honeymoon?

 

23. Illness (9S) - Ah, yes. Bad outlook indeed.

 

24. A Gift or Surprise (9C) - Prepare yourself to be wooed. 

 25. A Fair Haired Girl (8H) - Silly girl who talks too much.  

 

26. News (8D) - New developments. I think it could also indicate world events and politics.  

 27. Trouble (8S) - Loneliness, depression, impotence  

28. A Dark Maiden (8C) - All dressed up and nowhere to go. An impatient social climber. 

29. With Child (7H) - Fertility, potential, abundance. Also, having to do it on your own. IVF. Surrogacy. Single mothers. 

30. Gossip (7D) - Literal gossip, libel, slander. Ha, love that one! Agree on the keywords.

31. Faithlessness (7S) - I feel that the English word doesn’t really reflect the imagery. The rose bush has flowers in multiple stages. It’s a stage of flux and change. Some areas are budding while others are reaching an end. 

 32. Love Letter (7C) - That is a lot of letters. Both from friends and lovers. Social media.
