Clacks/Wands I chose Clacks to represent the traditional Wands suit. Wands are to do with living and working, with active and dynamic events. The activities and dramas of the communications businesses (clacks, post and press) have plenty of energy and dynamism and relate to ideas and creative forces. The cards show the clacks towers.

Card Details: Not always the bearer of good news, Moist von Lipwig (as he has rarely been known) is quick to seize opportunities and to use the element of surprise to achieve his goals. He does best in situations which allow him to use his talents of enthusiasm, imagination and a certain talent for manipulation. He is also a catalyst for change, inciting others to abandon long-held schemes or to rise up against the forces of oppression. Oh, and being a thorn in the side of authority. Card Reading: A young person, a messenger bring news or challenges. This card heralds changes and new opportunities available to you, possibly fantastic but risky. In fact, the Page is all about risk and opportunity; establish your independence and embrace new opportunities with your eyes open. Spontaneity and surprise are also key words for this card.

Card Details: Gilt's attitude is everything. He is a risk taker, driven by daring and adventure. He is confident in his ability to turn any situation to his advantage, in assessing risk and braving retribution by powerful but self-centred actions. He is associated with travel and surprise, assuming personalities and backgrounds as required. Complete sincerity combined with hidden passions. Card Reading: The Knight is all about confidence. Daring actions, cocky to the point of brashness and crackling with vitality, this card represents a magnetic personality. This is a world of adventure, of hasty decisions, of swashbuckling drama and the desire for change. It can also signify travel, escape or change of surroundings. Is it time for a re-think, for a complete change?

Card Details: Sacharissa is self-contained with inner confidence in her abilities. Attractive in a slightly contradictory way, she lends her support where William needs it most, bringing her enthusiasm and passion to his spiralling business venture. Even in success she is cheerfully planning their next move. Card Reading: A person of vitality and energy, the Queen blends practicality and passion to achieve her goals. She is also self-confident, having utter faith in her ability to succeed and to succeed with grace and without malice. She has good judgement and backs the right horses, however when she wins no-one begrudges her her success. Generous, warm and active, the Queen is a positive card to draw in a reading, reinforcing confidence in your choice and success in the nicest possible way.

Card Details: William finds himself swept up in the whirl of his newspaper's development, an idea of his whose time has come. He holds on to his business through persuading key players, making an equal number of enemies along the way through daring and excitement. He has natural authority, despite denying his family heritage. Card Reading: The King is an inspirational character, able to take an idea and whisk it into a done deal. He is inspiring, drawing others to his cause. This card usually represents someone of weath or comfortable position, someone who has strong links with others through marriage, friendship or business. Seize the day, take a risk and watch it pay off if you act with the King's enthusiasm and charisma.
