JACK OF HEARTS--_Reversed._ Should this card come out in the oracle of an unmarried lady, reversed, it instructs her that her lover or intended husband is a person wooing her for selfish purposes, who, although handsome and accomplished, will make a bad match. To a married woman, or widow, it is a warning that some unscrupulous individual, under garb of friendship, contemplates her injury, which will be followed by almost immediate desertion, if near the _ace of spades_. Consequently, in a secondary capacity, it is taken to mean _evil desires_ or _longing_, when it has synonyms of this character: Attraction; passion; flattery; cajolery; adulation; lechery; or declivity; precipice; fall. ACE OF HEARTS--_Upright._ The first and primary signification of this card is _the house_, and as such obtains a secondary capacity of a most extensive nature, expressed in the following synonyms: Household; home; house-keeping; economy; saving; dwelling; domicile; habitation; manor; lodge; lodging; hotel; palace; shop; store; barracks; building; vessel; vase; archives; castle; cabin; cottage; tent; pavilion; inn; hostelry; tavern; religious house; monastery; convent; burial; long home; grave; stable; extraction; family; race; lineage; posterity; ancestry; retreat; asylum. This card likewise designates a _repast_ or _feasting_, when, secondarily, it assumes synonyms of the following nature: Table; festivity; merry making; nutrition; guests; invitation; host; hilarity; good cheer; abundance; joy; gayety; natural pleasure; domestics; sports and pastimes. ACE OF HEARTS--_Reversed._ It primarily designates _forced_ or _constrained enjoyment_, but more generally it should be taken for _new acquaintances_, whence is derived a secondary significance of _fresh news_, with these synonyms: Indication; presentiment; new instructions; fresh knowledge; enlightenment; index; augury; forewarning; fore-knowledge; conjecture; oracle; prognostication; prediction; prophecy; divination; second sight; novelty. Again this card, reversed, means a _disordered household_, and from this comes the secondary idea of _intestine quarrels_, with the following more prominent synonyms: Misunderstanding; regret; remorse; repentance; internal agitation; irresolution; uncertainty; family feuds; marriage trouble; domestic strife; dissensions. At times this card represents _family vices_, or extravagance in household expenditures, or any description of crime or folly which renders home unhappy and unendurable. TEN OF HEARTS--_Upright._ This card ordinarily signifies the _city_, when its secondary capacities are expressed in some one from among the following synonyms: Metropolis; native land; burgh; village; town; locality; site; town-house; dwelling; habitation; residence; municipality; city government; citizens. It moreover is accepted to signify _envious people_, as by that term the ancient inhabitants of the rural districts were wont to designate, ironically, dwellers in cities.
