Today’s post uses the Heart Layout as did the one a few days ago. This is a really simple little layout to use when asking about a relationship or the potential of a connection. 
1st Column – Gentleman
On His Mind: The Fish Card (King of Diamonds)
Gentleman:
What He Faces: The Stars Card
Summary: The Gentleman seems to be thinking about finances at the current time. He is either making good money or in a planning process with the King of Diamonds to initiate additional revenue. He is very clear-headed with a specific goal he wants to achieve. He does face towards the center card which he shares with the Lady.
2nd Column – Lady
On Her Mind: The House Card (King of Hearts)
Lady:
What She Faces: The Lily Card (King of Spades)
Summary: Look at how the Lady card is blocked in by the 2 Kings. (Ancient Cartomancy teaches that this could predict some troubles especially with the law.) Keeping the interpretation in the modern cartomancy world I see this situation between the 2 significant men in the lady’s life as split energy. One man will be connected to family/home and the other one will be a more professional person. The Gentleman is also in the equation.
The Lady is close to family matters and comes from a pure heart. She will experience harmonious circumstances in the upcoming weeks and even if her feathers get ruffled (Ancient Cartomancy indicators) all will straighten out within a short time.
Center Card
OUTCOME: The Key Card
Summary: Solution to a dilemma. As we know the key works both ways. It can open the door or it can close it. As far as the Gentleman and Lady’s near future connection or continuation of relationship I get a really positive vibe from this card. If you look closely at the Key card the bottom of the key faces the Lily card suggesting an invitation to work through things. The top of the key is beside the Gentleman. All he has to do is reach over and turn the key.
There are No obvious “bad” cards in this layout indicating the energy of the Reading will flow smoothly. The overall advice is, “go with the flow.”
Notice all the Kings in this layout. Does it mean anything? I think so. Kings are masters of their suits which means emotions (hearts), tangible situations (diamonds) and intellect (spades) are the significant energies. The Clubs (actions) suit is missing which means there probably won’t be speedy advancements between the connection of the Gentleman & Lady. No real bells and whistles but just the same the soft sounds of the flute will be heard.

Hi madame Seaqueen
I have been trying the heart layout and I have some doubts. I hope you can give me some light on them. The querent is female and she wants to know about the future of her relationship with male X.
The cards were: what’s on her mind – mice. This is pretty obvious as she is anxious and stressed. Also thinking on losses.
What she faces: dog – from your posts I guess that in this case the dog is talking about fidelity, she must trust the situation.
The middle card was letter and this is one of my doubts. Letter means communication. Now communication is something missing between them as he is running away of the feelings.
What’s on his mind: lilly – I could think on sexuality, harmony or family (he is still married)
What he faces – rider — or he will visit her, as the rider is going from him to her, or he will send her some news.
Am I going on the right direction with my interpretation?
Thanks.

Hello Stanze,
Nice to hear from you. Thank you for your comment/question. It’s a good example for post study. For the female I will say Lady S. but I have a few questions first before I will post a brief interpretations.
Is the Lady’s column right or left?
Is the Rider facing left or right?
What deck are you using?

Hi madame Seaqueen,
Thanks for your quick reply! I use the Dutch lenormand cards, with text on it. I am not sure which cards are but their images are the most common ones. I think it is called the Carta Mundi.
The lady’s column is on the left as she is the querent and they both face each other. The rider faces left, i.e., he faces the lady.
Looking forward for your comments.
