In a cartomancy reading, you ask your card reader questions, and they pull out a specific card or several cards, depending on the complexity of your question. They interpret these cards to give you an accurate answer. Depending on the cards they pull, they can see the persons and the events in your life, and what the future holds.
Cartomancers use the 52-card playing deck the most often. Twelve of these are personality cards: the kings, the queens, and the jacks of the four suits, which are hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs. Each suit card represents a person in your life, but the specifics depend on your particular reading. Numbers and suits mean different things, and your card reader knows how to put all this information together.
