Playing card: A♥
Man
A man standing in a confident pose, often dressed in formal clothing of an earlier era.
Meaning
The Man represents either the person asking the question or an important man in their life, such as a partner, a friend, or a colleague. The cards around him describe his thoughts, his situation, and where he is heading. In a broader sense, he can also stand for direct, outward action.
In love
If you are asking about a man, the neighboring cards describe how he feels and what he wants. Look at the card he faces in the spread to see where his attention is going.
Work and money
A male boss, client, or coworker may play a role in your professional situation right now. Read the nearby cards to understand whether his influence is helpful or demanding.
In combination
The Man takes on the qualities of the cards beside him, so Man plus Dog can describe a loyal male friend or a supportive partner.
Timing
Depends on the surrounding cards, since he reflects a person more than a pace.
Advice
Look at the cards touching the Man to understand his position before you act.
