The Ace of Spades, as well as the Ace of Clubs, is one of the most favourable cards. It means above all: Stocks, financial papers. It also announces forbidden pleasure, success with the girl or woman loved; passionate and sexually voracious love, marriage, happy future.
When reversed, this card means all the matters related to love. However, depending on its surroundings, Ace of spades becomes a rather dark omen: luck will not last, sadness will follow joy, the beloved woman will leave you behind, the man will deceive his mistress or his wife, passionate sex will turn into abuse; discord will reign in the household.
Despite these poor prognoses, this card is so good that everything it announces as bad will only be temporary, and the pain will turn into joy through other unforeseen circumstances, which will change the face of things.

Heart ♥: Deep pain that another love will make you forget.

Club ♣: Money that is difficult to recover but not lost.
