Meaning of Ace of Hearts from the Old Fashioned Deck (Grimaud Playing Card Deck with Mother Shipton's Advice) Deck

Signifies merrymaking, feasting, and good humor; if the ace be attended by spades, it foretells quarreling in your cups, and ill-temper to your family while you are in a state of intoxication; if by hearts, it shows cordiality and affection between the parties; if by diamonds, your feast will be from home, perhaps in the country; if by clubs, the occasion of the meeting will be upon some bargain or agreement; if your ace of hearts is in the neighborhood of face cards of both sexes, with clubs near it, it will be about a match-making; if all the face cards are kings or knaves, or both, it will concern the buying or selling of some personal property; if all queens, it will regard conciliation between parties, and if queens and knaves, it will be about the reconciliation and reunion of a married couple.
