Gipsy Lover

The Zigeuner Wahrsagekarten Lover card is quite interesting to interpret.  If you look closely at the jacket this man is wearing you will see a difference from one side to the other. Glove on one hand none on the other.

A Man? A Lover?


When the Lover falls in a future spot in the layout and you are a female receiving a card reading he could be a potential love interest. If you are in a situation whereby you are experiencing a famine in your love department he’s just the guy to spice things up.  :)

Always check to see what cards are near him. Be aware if Jealousy is nearby because he could have a deranged girlfriend you don’t know about. Most of the time he represents your significant other, someone you are in a relationship with at the present time.

It’s not hard to find out what is on the Lover’s mind or what situation is around him because he will always be in your layout when you do a full board layout using the 36 cards. When doing a shorter layout and he shows up there will be some significance to your connection. Perhaps an argument (Anger), visiting some friends (Visit), going on a trip (Journey), or finding out he is cheating on you (Infidelity).

Many traditional card Readers don’t believe in Reading someone’s future unless they have consent from the person. With the Lenormand cards as well as the Zigeuner (and several other Sibille style decks) how can we not see what the other people are doing if they are in our layout, lol.

At the same token you can discover what is really bothering you as well by meditating on the cards surrounding the Sweetheart (female getting the Reading). The cards which come between you and the Lover card are very important. Are they low energy or positive? Do you foresee a problem in the near future or will you skip down the yellow brick road for the next few months?

I think it can be quite helpful to study the cards around the Lover in the event there is a cooling period in your relationship. Maybe it has nothing to do with you. There might be other situations weighing down your Lover-Man. It’s not always another woman….could be a man.

We woman have a very direct image within the Sweetheart. There is no indication of the many different roles we play in men’s lives. The Lover card will be the plain ol’ guy you sit on the couch with on a Saturday night or the guy with the 6 pack chest twirling you around on the dance floor.    Luv this card!

Did I mention if you are a male the Lover will represent you in a layout? You can do the same thing and look for the Sweetheart to gain more information about your special lady or potential future lover……

Zigeuner Wahrsagekarten – 12 card Trigger Layout

Dear Friends: Thank you for all your kind well wishes for my granddaughter Katja. All is Good.

In todays’ post I will be using one of my favourite decks in the Trigger Layout. The Zigeuner Wahrsagekarten or Gipsy fortune-telling cards. Sometimes you just don’t want to do a full board Reading. It does get overwhelming trying to interpret all 36 cards. This is exactly why I designed this simple layout.

You have an option as far as time frames with this layout. Prior to shuffling decide what time frame you want to use in Columns 3 & 4. Remove the Sweetheart (if female) or the Lover (if male) from the deck.  Lay the cards according to the image below:

I always scan the Trigger row (middle) first to get a feel of the situation. I don’t talk about this row right away. I usually start at Column 1 – Past

Note: You don’t have to use the Sweetheart or the Lover cards. You can pick any card out of the deck which you think represents your situation. Also, you can decide not to pick any card at all and that’s ok, too. The cards will tell you what it is you need to know at the time of shuffle.

Isn't the fortune-telling mouse cute?

TRIGGER row – 5, YOU, 6, 7. LOSS. SWEETHEART. DESIRE. FALSENESS

This row is the essence of the reading, the rest of the cards will describe or explain to you what surrounds the essence or core theme. When you read these cards you will get a good glimpse at the entire layout.  The remaining cards are the details surrounding the TRIGGER cards.

LOSS. SWEETHEART. DESIRE. FALSENESS.

Let’s keep the interpretations real simple. A female who in the recent past experienced some sort of shortcoming in a situation or an actual loss is yearning for things which may not be in her best interest. These 4 cards are powerful. We need to find out what lead up to them and what followed them. That’s just one way to Read these cards.

Officer & Lover

Gipsy Zigeuner Wahrsagekarten

A question from the comments section asking about the combination of the OFFICER & LOVER cards.

27. OFFICER= As a person it will be anyone that wears a uniform. News comes from this person that is more formal than personal. If you get involved with this man, he will love you & leave you. A playboy.

20. LOVER= The special man for a female seeker of the cards. Represents the male getting the reading. If there is no one special currently -a male friend, brother. In the future spot predicts the potential of a love affair.

The two cards combined can describe a variety of themes.

It can be 2 men who are business associates or friends.  The nature of their connections will be revealed by the cards surrounding them.  Notice they are both facing the same way.  This means there is a common goal that brings them together.  They look towards the left.  This means unfinished business.

The LOVER’s “serious” side faces the OFFICER.  The jacket the Lover is wearing serves a dual role.  He is just an average guy or he is in the role of being a potential lover.  There are other factors as well.  Are you a male or female doing this 2 card reading?  When these two cards are somewhere in a larger spread & you are a female this duo will tell you that the man you are interested in is not so playful and carefree.  He is way too serious and that is a good thing sometimes especially if you are looking for a commitment.

If you are a male doing the reading, this duo describes you.  Since the OFFICER falls in the past you might have gotten news about your job, or a message of a more professional nature.  As a personality, it shows you are one of these men that plays by the rules. There is a task you must continue with whether you like it or not.  The card to the right of the LOVER will indicate if you succeed or fail.

The two cards warn you of an announcement which involves a decision.  I say ‘warn you’ because whatever you hear or learn will affect you.  You have no real say in the outcome.  Often, you will be the recipient of decisions made by others which in turn leaves you with no choice but to accept the news.
