King of Spades as a Birth Card

People of this card are born to lead. They have strong wills, deep minds and the ability to carry responsibility for many. They are respected, and their opinion is listened to.

The King of Spades' main task is to use its strength wisely. Power for its own sake doesn't fulfil it; real satisfaction comes when its mastery serves people.

• Mastery. You reach a high level in your field.
• Wisdom. You see deeper and further than others.
• Authority. People trust you and follow you.
• Responsibility. You are ready to answer for many.

Strength can make you lonely. The King of Spades keeps its distance, shows no weakness and won't let itself ask for help.

A need to dominate is another trap: the person gets used to deciding for others. A king's wisdom also shows in the ability to listen.

You are a dependable, strong partner who takes responsibility for the family. People feel protected beside you.

Let your partner see you without armour. Closeness begins where the king takes off the crown.

The King of Spades is equal to the most responsible roles: running companies and organisations, science, medicine, law, politics, your own business.

Its success is often large in scale, because it can take on what others cannot carry.

The King of Spades closes the deck: it is the fifty-second and last card. And yet it owns the first day of the year, January 1. The end of the deck coincides with the start of the year, as if the circle closes.
