Cartomancy?

Hello, so recently I've been learning about cartomancy and runes. I feel like runes have a pretty straightforward meaning, but with cartomancy, not so much. Each resource I look at had a completely different meaning.
Like one place will have the Nine of hearts and the peak of romance and good will, and the next place I look will have it as communication and business.
Can someone help me?

If you find yourself struggling to pick which symbolism to use from what you have researched, why not meditate on the cards and their meaning? I believe symbolism is personal.

You should pick the one you feel most connected with, That's what I would do.

Hope all goes well!

Blessed Be.

There's various systems used in cartomancy. There's tarot, lenormand, oracle, and playing cards. When first starting out, it's good to get to know your deck. Carry it around. Keep it under your pillow. Draw a daily card and make notes about it and what you feel from it. I hope this helps.

Cartomancy is largely based on the individual practitioner's intuition, rather than symbolic meanings. While these meanings do have their purposes, how you interpret the cards is largely up to you. I've found that playing cards are probably one of the most straightforward mediums I've divined through. Their meanings will vary between card readers though.

There are plenty of articles out there that list the meanings of each card, which will vary from article to article. There is no "100% proven, foolproof, and completely traditional" list out there. You can consult any of these lists and achieve working results. However, it is best to interpret the cards using symbolic meanings that make sense to you. Not only will it provide a deeper connection to your cards, but you may have an easier time remembering it than some article you read online.
