This Week: A Woman Looks To Opportunities, While Hiding Her True Thoughts About A Man In High Position To Gain Money
Monday February 6th 2022
Hello, hello.
And for today’s reading, which is just about the week upcoming in general, we’re using the German Salish Kipper deck, where, (if you care about directions people are facing and other visual cues), and although it was produced later, the cards do follow the original 1890s Kipper deck. Here, I’ve done a reading in what’s known as the Master Card layout, common among readers of this deck.
The Cards
(Grosses Gluck) Good Fortune/Big Luck: Luck, Success, Good Fortune
(Haus) House: Home, Environment, Roots, Neighbourhood, A Building
(Diebstahl) Thief: A Theft Or Loss
(Weibliche Hauptperson) Main Female: Female Querent Or Important Woman In The Reading
(Arbeit) Work/Occupation: Day To Day Work, Tasks
(Ehestandskarte) Marriage: A Marriage, Contract, Agreement, Bonding
(Falsche Person) False Person: Falsehood, Persona, Something Being Hidden
(Zusammenkunft) Meeting/Courtship: Convening, Meeting, Other People, Persuasion

(Reiches Madchen) Rich Girl/Privileged Young Woman: A Younger Woman, Lightness, Friend—or Frenemy
(Zu hohen Ehren kommen) High Honours: Honour, Respect, Recognition, Rewards, High Position
(Mannliche Hauptperson) Main Male: Male Querent Or Important Male In The Reading
(Reicher Guter Herr) Rich Young Man: A Business Person, Someone Wealthy, Business Interests, A Moneymaker
The Reading
So there are various possible “characters” in this: The Man, The Woman, The Rich Girl and the Rich Young Man, and it’s therefore not any one person’s “story”. A lot of “what’s behind them” for both the male and female characters though.
So let’s focus on the Main Female, since it was a woman or women saying things who kept coming up a lot in readings last week.
Here we see that beneath her, she has what looks like hard work (Main Female, Work), so this is about her occupation, and ahead of her, in the direction she’s facing, is Big Luck, good fortune, with regard to what looks like thefts or losses (Thief) from a House, so a particular environment or organisation or a family. Regaining what has been lost or stolen from her? Or luck in terms of what she is going to be taking?
Behind her, we have a marriage or a deal of some kind that is false in some way (Marriage, False Person), and notice that what’s “behind the door” of the falseness that you see in the False Person card is the Thoughts card. She has been hiding her thoughts, or not saying what she really thinks. About what? Well, you can look at the cards around the Thoughts to get an idea, but for a particular focus, look at where the little Cupid is in the Thoughts card and what it’s pointing to. High Honours, rewards, respect, regard, and gains of high position. She’s been hiding what she thinks about someone’s high position, it looks like, or perhaps she holds someone in higher regard than might seem to be the case.
There are also thoughts behind her about meeting with someone or people in general, perhaps a courtship (Courtship-Thought) for monetary reasons, it looks like (A Lot Of Money). So she can either be or hang with someone in the rich young set? (Rich Girl).
Finally, we can see that the person who’s seen with High Honours or is in a high position is a particular Man, who may be someone in business or who has business interests—or knows people who are (Rich Young Man).
Reading the cards across from left to right, then, we have our Woman seeing luck and opportunities (Big Luck), while behind her, there is bonding to and courting high position, mixing in those circles (Marriage-Meeting-High Honours). The Marriage card also tends to link those cards either side of it, so here, it’s linking her with other people .
Beneath her, we have the House, environment or family where she works (Work) and where she hides her thoughts (False Person, Thoughts) regarding, not only the high position or respect given or rewarded, but that connected to a particular Man (High Honours, Man).
Then we have a theft or loss on its own there (Thief). The wealth of a businessman or wealthy person (A Lot Of Money, Rich Young Man), and finally, the Rich Girl/Privileged Lady on her own beneath.
We can also read the diagonals, so here we see that this is someone who works for her good fortune, and what she does is well-starred (Big Luck, Work), but it may be that a work deal she has struck is lost—or she works hard to take from others (Marriage, Work, Thief). Any agreement or deal she’s made has been with thoughts of high position (High Honours), business and money generation in mind—or with snagging a rich guy (Marriage, Thoughts, Rich Young Man), who she can ‘match’ with (Rich Girl).
So what of our woman? Well, we can see her with a home in future, or a family or domain in some way (Woman, House) but also that she may not have been entirely honest about her financial position (Woman-False Person-A Lot Of Money). So it could be that she’s pretended to have more money than she does, or she gained it through false pretences. These may well have involved her coming together with a particular Man (False-Person- Meeting-Man) who has the money (A Lot Of Money).
Knighting the cards, it seems she’ll do well with a role or persona (Big Luck, False Person) which will allow her to “play” someone of high status (High Honours, False Person), particular in business and with wealthy business people (High Honours, Rich Young Man). She’ll either use it for chances to steal, or will find her good fortune taken from her because of it, however (False Person, Big Luck-Thief).
She’ll be part of a family or institution (House) through Marriage or a deal with a Man. And in terms of what gets lost or taken by her, it appears to have been already considered or even planned (Thief, Woman, Thought). With regards to her Work and occupation, it’s all about meeting people for a lot of money (Work, Meeting-A Lot Of Money), particularly in the business sense (Rich Young Man). A deal or marriage with the highest in the land brings wealth (A Lot Of Money, Marriage-High Honours), and it involves a man and his whole family or “house” (House-Man). The Man may also be kidding himself too about the Rich Girl (False Person-Man, Rich Girl).
In Summary
The reading involves a woman and the work she does day to day, looking ahead to opportunities and good fortune in terms of what can be taken (or stolen) from a family or particular environment, or recovering what she has lost. She has made a false deal or marriage, and seems to have been hiding her true thoughts, particularly around the rewards or high position it entails, or may even secretly have held someone, a particular man, in higher regard than it would seem. Her thoughts in particular ould be of meeting with people for monetary reasons, probably the rich or wealthy business set, a man especially.
She’s been courting or mixing in those circles and is linked with other people who are. She works in a particular environment or the family concerned is her job, and she’s hidden her true thoughts and motivations. She does work for her opportunities although she may lose a work deal or take from others in her attempts to snag a rich guy and make as much money as possible. She herself may not have been entirely honest about her own financial position. She is likely to “play” or pretend to be someone in a high position, especially with the wealthy and will generate opportunities from it although she may end up losing them also. There seems to be quite a lot of prior planning that has gone on with her with regard to what she does in terms of job and occupation and it being only among the best and the wealthiest. The Man, meanwhile, may find he’s been kidding himself about her too.
