Cards of the Oracle of Belline

The main meanings of the 53 cards of the Oracle of Belline

• 1 – Destiny : Represented by a key covered in gold, the Destiny card is the one that helps us open the door to our life. It grants us access to our past, present and future, assuring us that we alone are the masters of our fate.
• 2 – The Star of Man : This card brings us face to face with everything related to the masculine character. It therefore often represents a loved one such as a father or a friend, and evokes relationships of protection of a man toward a woman or of a father toward his daughter.
• 3 – The Star of Woman : Unlike the previous card, this one places us before everything related to the feminine spirit. It thus brings to mind the mother, the sister or a close friend, and evokes the serenity and the power of deduction that are characteristic of women.
• 4 – The Nativity : This is the card that heralds every new beginning. It therefore evokes a new project, which will soon allow the querent to live new adventures. It also carries great self-confidence, in love as in work.
• 5 – Success : As its name suggests, this is the card that confirms success in our endeavours, but also within the relationships we maintain with others. It is also the one that lets us know that our dearest wishes are being granted.
• 6 – Elevation : Renewal and advancement are on our agenda when we come across this card during a reading. Indeed, it always evokes progress in our affairs as well as within our friendships, professional ties or romantic relationships.
• 7 – Honours : This is the card that rewards our skills, the one that assures us that we are finally going to receive glory for what we accomplished in the past. But it does not, for all that, allow us to lack humility under any circumstances.
• 8 – Friendly Thought : This is the card of warmth and therefore of the happiness felt when surrounded by friends and loved ones. It is also the one that turns certain friendly encounters into more loving relationships.
• 9 – Countryside Health : It tells us that it is high time to take a break, to go and see whether the grass is greener elsewhere. In any case, it encourages us to get some rest, in a quiet spot out in the countryside.
• 10 – Gifts : This card evokes generosity between people, and the joy of offering a present to someone we cherish. It is also a card that may herald a lottery win, for example !
• 11 – Betrayal : when this one appears during a reading, it means we will have to beware of someone, that we may have a doubt about one of our relationships. Indeed, it always evokes an underhand blow to come, or quite simply a lie told against us.
• 12 – Departure : In no way negative, this card on the contrary evokes a new horizon, a new beginning on our journey. And that in every possible area, such as work or love for instance.
• 13 – Inconstancy : This is unfortunately the card of doubt and indecision, which can happen to any of us at moments when we least expected it. There then follows a rather uneasy period during which we also fret over nothing.
• 14 – Discovery : This is the card of curiosity, but also of lucidity and awakening for all those who have a minimum of interest in the new things that open up to their mind. It is also the card that evokes the intuition that some people possess.
• 15 – Water : As one might imagine, this card is also linked to femininity and to childbearing, but it also evokes the dreams and the journeys we would love to be able to make one day or another.
• 16 – Hearth and Home : This is the card of security within one’s home, but it also evokes our family life and the meals we can share together to celebrate a Christmas or a birthday surrounded by our loved ones, snug and warm at home.
• 17 – Illness : This is necessarily a negative card which, besides speaking to us of poor health, also evokes conflicts, problems, jealousy and other everyday worries we could easily have done without.
• 18 – Change : This is the card of any transformation within our life. A change of job, a move of home or a change of partner in a romantic relationship.
• 19 – Money : Since money is the sinews of war, and since we cannot, unfortunately, live without it, this card is therefore a good omen as it announces that money is going to come in, and not just a little of it !
• 20 – Intelligence : This is the card of intellectual clarity and of self-mastery in all circumstances. It evokes an ability to extricate oneself from sources of trouble with talent and panache, and that without having to hurt anyone.
• 21 – Theft and Loss : This card surely announces a breach of trust to come against our person. It therefore invites us to be a little more wary without, however, falling into paranoia. In any case, there is betrayal in the air.
• 22 – Ventures : This is the card of commitment and of signing projects that run over the long term. It therefore evokes solid constructions based on trust between various partners.
• 23 – Movement : While it evokes movement, travel or journeys between regions, this card also speaks to us of incidents that may arise at any moment.
• 24 – News : This is the card of any exchange or conversation between 2 people. Phone calls, messages, letters in the post will therefore reach us shortly from a loved one.
• 25 – Pleasures : As one can understand, this is the card that symbolises joy and the act of celebrating happy events together. It also evokes a certain fulfilment in carrying out a creative or sporting activity.
• 26 – Peace : This is the card of soothing and of regained serenity. Within a loving couple, a friendship or a professional partnership.
• 27 – Union : This card evokes, of course, the joining of 2 people within a couple, but also professional collaboration around a partnership between associates.
• 28 – Family : This is a positive card that evokes blood ties of course, but which can also announce a marriage or the birth of a child within a family.
• 29 – Love : Without any ambiguity, this card speaks to us of the feelings of the heart shared between 2 people who can no longer do without one another. It is also the one that evokes parents’ love for their children.
• 30 – The Table : This is the card of conviviality, the one that announces moments shared between friends or colleagues, certainly around a good meal, but not only that, since it also speaks to us of outings together.
• 31 – Passions : While it is obviously the card that evokes love at first sight between 2 people, it is just as much the card of jealousy and of the suffering of love. Beware, then, of this double meaning when it appears in a reading.
• 32 – Malice : This is the card that evokes aggression and treachery toward us. We will therefore have to stay on our guard and be more wary of people we do not know well enough.
• 33 – Lawsuit :  Where there is a lawsuit there are quarrels at the root, and ill intentions on the part of one person toward another. In any case, there will be conflict and a certain dispute will set in between them, which may end in a real lawsuit to settle matters between them.
• 34 – Despotism : This is the card of the lack of freedom experienced by an individual. It is the card of one person’s submission to another, or of a willing yet hardly cheerful dependence in any case.
• 35 – Enemies : Yet more conflict in the air, this card tells us, but this time accompanied by the feeling of hatred that 2 people share for one another. A certain danger may then be in store if we lack vigilance.
• 36 – Negotiations : If there are negotiations, it is because one wishes to improve a deadlocked situation between individuals. So the doors are opened to try once again to talk and find peaceful solutions to this crisis.
• 37 – Fire : Courage and the will to overcome are what this card brings us if we come across it in a reading. Determination too, to achieve our ends during heated exchanges with others.
• 38 – Accident : there is going to be an upheaval in our life, a shock that will come to destabilise us and lay us bare in the face of a crisis situation. A breakup is also possible within friendly or romantic relationships.
• 39 – Support : Help and protection from a loved one are announced to us by this card, which gives us back a little hope after we had been feeling so alone lately.
• 40 – Beauty : a more than positive card since it evokes nothing but wonder and joy within a happiness shared between 2 individuals, or between 1 person and nature.
• 41 – Inheritance : This is therefore the card that embodies transmission between 2 people of the same family, or the learning of a young person listening to a mentor or an elderly parent. It is also the card of knowledge acquired over time.
• 42 – Wisdom : This card announces a good balance to come on the querent’s path. Thanks to a great deal of serenity displayed, but also a well-developed intuitive mind.
• 43 – Renown : this is the card of self-realisation, and of a certain personal accomplishment that is at last acknowledged by our peers. Recognition and future fame are therefore to be expected for the events to come in our life.
• 44 – Chance : This is the card of all the possible surprises that may arise on our path. It is also the possible arrival of providential help we were not expecting.
• 45 – Happiness : Pleasures and harmonies are therefore on the agenda, this most positive of cards tells us. We are thus entitled to a very fortunate period, and we should make the most of it.
• 46 – Misfortune : This is the card of bad luck and ill fortune. Very negative, then, it announces nothing but sadness and unhappiness to come in the querent’s life.
• 47 – Sterility : This is a card with a double meaning since it evokes a pause that may be useful to us in better reflecting on a deadlocked situation, but also a loneliness of greater or lesser length over time.
• 48 – Fatality : This is the card of mourning, of breakup, and of the end of a cycle. 
• 49 – Grace : This almost magical card evokes the inspiration that animates us during this very fortunate period. The time has therefore come for us for awakening and for the most complete fulfilment.
• 50 – Ruin : This card unfortunately evokes failure and destruction. It speaks to us only of human losses and financial ruin when it appears in a reading.
• 51 – Delay : This is the card that embodies all the obstacles soon to come on our life’s path, with which we will have to struggle in order to better counter them.
• 52 – Cloister : This is the card of meditative wisdom, which, while necessary to us at certain moments of our life, can also be more burdensome to us at others.
• The Blue Card : This is the only neutral and unnumbered card of this Oracle, but it is very positive, bringing luck and happiness to the querent. Note too that it weakens the negativity of certain other cards when they are drawn together. A real godsend, then !
