Meaning of the King of Sickles in the Persian Tarot

This is a double-sided card depending on whether you are a female or male querent. Although the King of Sickles always embodies a man during a reading, he will therefore hold different roles in the life of the querent, and in the predictions about their destiny. It emerges from the card that this man is often divorced and that he may represent a friend, a relative or a lover holding a position of high responsibility. Unless he is a man exercising an administrative profession, which requires him to often wear a suit or a uniform. The Persian Tarot, without being the most spiritual, is in any case the most mystical of them all.

Based on Eastern life philosophies, whether Indian or Muslim, it is made up of exotic cards, in warm colours, straight out of a tale from the Thousand and One Nights. In the case of the King of Sickles card, it depicts a sultan dressed in a ceremonial tunic, standing upright, ready to be of service to anyone who might need it. The Diamonds and Sickles that surround him represent the practical and concrete sense of our lives through the work accomplished.

During a divinatory reading, the King of Sickles Card may represent the querent if the latter is divorced. Otherwise, it embodies someone close to us, socially influential, who can come to our aid at any moment.
