QUEEN OF DIAMONDS--_Upright._ When this card comes out in the oracle upright it bears three primary significations: _a country lady_; _a talkative_ or _communicative female_; and a _good, kind-hearted woman_. As a representative card it designates a very fair female with auburn or blonde hair, brilliantly clear complexion and very blue eyes.

QUEEN OF DIAMONDS--_Reversed._ When the card comes out reversed in the oracle its ordinary signification is that of a meddlesome woman, who has interfered in the affairs of the consultant for the purpose of doing him or her injury, and the extent of the injury, contemplated or done, can be estimated from the proximity of this card to that of the consultant, or from the import of those cards intervening between the two. This card has two secondary significations as follows: _Want of foresight_, whose synonyms are: Unawares; unexpectedly; on a sudden; napping; astonished; suddenly; fortuitously; unhoped for; surprisingly. _A knavish trick_, whose synonyms would be: Roguishness; knavery; cheat; imposture; deceit; sharpness in rascality; trickery; false pretense; artifice; wile; craftiness. JACK OF DIAMONDS--_Upright._ The primary signification of this card is a _soldier_, a _postillion_, or a light haired _young man, in or from the country_. In addition to these characteristics this card, whether upright or reversed, assumes another, which is technically called _the good stranger_.
