Meaning of the 6 of Diamonds in Cartomancy

It is the neutral card of the Diamonds family, meaning it is neither positive nor negative when drawn. The direction of its predictions depends solely on the cards it is associated with. The number 7 embodies every completed cycle, the most perfect example being the number of days God needed to create the world as we know it, but also the 7 musical notes within a scale, or the 7 colours of the rainbow.

It is one of the rare cards of the Diamonds family that is not so optimistic during a divinatory reading. It always heralds an absence, or even the loss of a material possession or of a loved one. The number 6 is nonetheless the first perfect number for any mathematician, since it is the sum of its own divisors, namely 1, 2 and 3. According to the rules of cartomancy, the Diamonds suit represents the ambition and inventiveness some of us show in order to successfully reach their dearest wishes. These motivated initiatives come through travel, information and good communication in order to achieve an outcome. Within this suit, the N°6 is the one that blocks us ever so slightly by announcing the absence around us of something acquired and essential in our eyes.

During a divinatory reading, the 6 of Diamonds card is therefore viewed with a wary eye by the querent, even though the reader tries to reassure them by explaining that one must see which cards will be associated with it in order to judge its true scope. Thus, mixed with Hearts cards, its predictions would be less harmful than if it were linked to Spades cards, which would be very negative.
