A♦ - Ace of Diamonds
thirst for love and money
The passion inherent in this card can be expressed in different ways, but still, Diamond Aces find it difficult to combine both money (career) and love at the same time. Perhaps this is because they only focus on one thing, excluding everything else. This is characteristic of all diamond aces, both men and women.
They can be impatient, selfish and calculating, but they can also selflessly give everything to other people. In the Main Life Spread, their Birth Card is associated with Jupiter and Neptune, and Jupiter sometimes takes the idealism and compassion of Neptune to extremes. On the one hand, Diamond Aces show kindness and can, to their own detriment, help those who are less fortunate. They care for animals and cannot stand the suffering of others. The strong influence of Neptune can spiritually ennoble them. Many diamond aces make large donations to worthy causes. Most Diamond Aces consider themselves saviors of one kind or another, helping their friends, relatives, colleagues, lovers or spouses. But Neptune can create illusions that lead a person down the path of great delusions and false ideals. Everything depends on personal insight. For example, Paul Newman - AD, who is heavily involved in charity work. And another AD, but with a bad reputation, is Adolf Hitler, who believed that he was bringing good to the world and tried to justify the destruction of millions of innocent people with this. These two personalities represent the extreme poles of Neptunian idealism. The dreaminess and optimism of Diamond Aces can be expressed in a variety of ways, but they are always present in the character of people with this Birth Card.
Diamond Aces are creative people capable of engaging in several things at the same time. They often meet new people, and most of these acquaintances bring them luck. They are ambitious and may have artistic abilities. Diamond Aces love to travel, which is often connected with their work. Their life is a series of phone calls and various kinds of communication and is usually full of activity. Regardless of their activities, Diamond Aces believe that the meaning of their existence is to help society and make an important contribution to its development. All Diamond Aces have the abilities of mediums, and many of them are attracted to the metaphysical side of life. If money and power are not at the top of their value system, these people can lead a life full of contentment and well-being.
As mentioned earlier, the main dilemma for Diamond Aces is either a career or love, which is achieved by giving up a career. These people are characterized by detached relationships with partners, in which they see each other only periodically. This gives Diamond Aces enough time for the work that usually comes first for them. In other cases, Diamond Aces spend a lot of time with their partner while traveling. At least once in their life, Diamond Aces face an alternative: either to be near their partner or to be very far from them.
Diamond Aces are strongly influenced by Neptune and Pisces, which affects their love relationships. Although they care about their partners and see the best qualities in them, sometimes partners do not maintain decent relationships to the end, which causes anger and disappointment in Diamond Aces. Diamond Aces need to learn how to explain to their partners what is expected of them and understand how partners really perceive them.
It may seem that Diamond Ace men are not capable of getting married. Indeed, their restless nature is more inclined towards love affairs than to long-term marital relationships. But still, if they calm down, they will be able to find the perfect partner who will fully share their love feelings with them.
Diamond Ace women feel best next to Club men - especially mature personalities. All Diamond Aces have many friends among Diamond women, but the Diamond suit is not particularly suitable for their marital relationships. Diamond Ace men should be best suited for Hearts women. But still, to get a complete picture of the relationship, you need to look at specific cards on an individual basis.
Diamond Aces often create distance between themselves and their partner. This is greatly facilitated by their Venus card - the Five of Hearts. All Fives are characterized by Sagittarian qualities. Sagittarius is the sign of the traveler, the person striving to see the whole world. The Five of Hearts as the Venus card can be compared to Venus in Sagittarius, Venus in the 9th House, or Venus in aspect to Jupiter (the planet that rules the 9th House and Sagittarius). In the natal charts of most Diamond Aces, one of these astrological indicators is found.
So, Diamond Aces almost always have a detachment in personal relationships, or travel is a component of the relationship. Diamond Aces often fall in love with those who travel a lot and are often absent from home. There are options when Diamond Aces travel themselves, and their partner stays at home. In some cases, they will travel together with their partner and even give them freedom, not objecting to meetings with another person. In short, in all cases of close relationships between Diamond Aces and their partners, there will be some distance. Sometimes this is even not bad, if such a nature of relationships suits both partners. But sometimes this kind of alienation becomes a real problem. To a large extent, it is explained by karmic predetermination - Venus in Sagittarius.
In his book "Practical Astrology", Hilarion points out that the life task of individuals with Venus in Sagittarius is to learn to value their spouses and lovers. He says that throughout their lives, these people will have either one or many love affairs, maintained "at a distance", and that this distance will generate in them a great desire to be close to their partner. This aspiration compensates for the fact that in their past life, these people always tried to stay away from their partners. Apparently, all this is also true in relation to people whose Birth Card is the Diamond Ace. Ultimately, they will learn that in love, it is important not just to have a partner, but also for them to be physically, sexually and emotionally close. To learn this lesson, Diamond Aces start with creating very detached relationships, but sooner or later their value system in this area changes, and they come to a healthier and more balanced behavior.
