Vendredi: Five of Diamonds

This is an extremely auspicious card.  Regardless of the cards surrounding the Five of Diamonds, the fact that it is in the spread is a sure sign of luck for your querent.

There is the possibility of an inheritance, a grant or a gift on the horizon.  What ever the source of the fortune, it is probably unexpected.  On the other hand, the querent’s hard work may finally – and at the least expected time – be on the verge of paying off.  To use the term windfall is not to overstate cases.

As with all of the cards, there is a caution.  The querent’s good fortune will turn sour, and quickly, if he or she is not willing to share in their largess.  A miserly attitude toward their fair luck, no matter how well it may be deserved, will lead to nothing good.  Pay this fortune forward, and reap the rewards twice over.  Vendredi heureux ~
