There is something in the letterbox – or in the inbox: the Letter announces news that comes to you in black and white. Whether love letter, contract or email: this card tells of the written word that is on its way to you.
General Meaning
The Letter stands for written contact: mail and contracts, fax, email, text messages – a swift contact is on its way. A letter always expresses one person reaching out to another; in contrast to the Rider (no. 1), however, this contact takes place primarily in written form. Whether we are pleased about the message depends on the circumstances – the news can even arrive via the daily press. What matters is the written aspect of the medium, not the private or public nature of the news.
Love & Relationships
In love, the Letter announces a message you may already be waiting for: a text, a letter, a written word that brings clarity. If the Sun lies nearby, it is a positive message; the Mountain, on the other hand, makes the message burdensome. Sometimes the card also advises you to pick up the pen yourself: what is hard to say often finds its way to the heart more easily in writing.
Career & Finances
Professionally, Britta names office work, clerical tasks and journalism. In everyday life, the Letter indicates contracts, official letters and important correspondence – read the fine print before you sign. In money matters, too, news arrives in writing: an official notice, a statement, an offer.
Health
In health matters, the Letter primarily points to prescriptions and referrals – so the card can simply indicate that medical documents and results are on their way. Its qualities: quick, nimble and fixed – what exists in writing is binding.
Note: These health associations come from traditional card reading. They are not medical advice and are in no way a substitute for seeing a doctor.
The Letter as a Timing Card
The Letter announces that a swift contact is on its way – the message usually does not keep you waiting long. Beyond that, the card carries no specific timing.
The Card in Combination
- Letter + Sun
A positive message reaches you – good news you can look forward to. - Letter + Mountain
A burdensome message: the news sits heavily. Read it calmly and don't react rashly. - Letter vs. Rider
Not a combination, but Britta's most important distinction: the Letter stands for written contact, the Rider for the spoken word.
