Fundamentals of the Jack of Hearts

Here we teach the meaning of the elements of the Jack of Hearts, the symbolism of the Jack, relationship to the court cards and the meaning present in the card art and the suit of Hearts.

History

The Jack is the first card among the court cards, that is, the first of the four cards that go from the Jack to the King. These four cards represent the relationship of the player to the element of the suit or a person.

Like the young man who is represented, the Jack indicates innocent impulses and willpower. The young Jack of Hearts does not have mastery of the suit, but has enthusiasm to try and develop until he reaches the same mastery as the King. Another role that the person of the Jack can play is that of a messenger, someone who brings news.

Iconography

The Jack of Hearts is depicted in the Rider Waite Smith as a young man in a floral robe holding a large cup. To the Jack's surprise, a fish leaps out of the cup toward the young man.

In the background, the sea passes calmly. The waves are calm and do not approach the person, which reinforces the impression of calm waters.

The suit of hearts

The suit of hearts is a suit about feelings. There is no rationality in it, only impulses, that is to say, it does not deal with what, we think, is possible, but with desires which the origin cannot be explained.

Therefore, the feelings described here involve the desire for possession, idealizations with and without foundation, the will without a plan or goals, the love matched or not. They are those moments in life when the will spoke louder and your actions were based on that desire.

Water element

Like water, the feelings of the suit of hearts are the secret ones, below the surface. This is the moment when you are immersed in your own soul and in your own desires. The element of water speaks of the rational being left aside, of inconstancy, very strong intuition, a lot of empathy and emotions on the surface.

These elements can be observed in the cards of hearts, in general, being highlighted in some combinations. Besides this association between hearts and the element of water, the suit of hearts is great to guide journeys of self-knowledge and reaching maturity.

Here we also have the action of a purifying element, which helps to heal old wounds. The path of maturity and self-knowledge is essential for spiritual development. Path to be developed in the next suit, clubs.

Meanings of the card Jack of Hearts

The unexpected is the natural thing in life and the Jack of Hearts is based on these constant renewals and how one deals with them, as explained in the following meanings.

Energy and enthusiasm

You are full of creativity and this is great. As this is a phase of identity with the Jack, enthusiasm for the new and new ideas are very much in evidence. Perhaps this is the burst of energy needed for new projects.

However, the card does not imply the construction of projects or the power of decision. It is necessary to choose where to channel all this energy so that this good moment does not remain in the idealization phase, as many things in the suit of hearts end up being.

Immaturity

Because someone is so young and has no grasp of what the suit represents, this card signifies immaturity. Add to the suit of hearts, the suit of feelings, and the result is someone who has difficulty dealing with their emotions.

The Jack of Hearts is guided by instinct and this approach does not always lead to the desired solution. Take advantage of being open-hearted with the Jack of Hearts to observe and learn, thus avoiding getting caught up in the moment.

Renewal

Dealing with the unknown is a proposal of renewal. The need to adapt to a new house, a new job, a new baby, for example, or another situation that makes you rethink life is something that the Jack of Hearts proposes.

As a result, you will discover many things about yourself that you never imagined. The Jack of Hearts invites you to constant reflection to do your best in the face of the new, to seek knowledge and at the same time listen to your heart.

Good News

The Jack of Hearts is good news that came out of nowhere, or even an idea that comes unexpectedly and brings you a solution.

Because the Jack is the messenger card, in a very practical way, wait for news. And because of the suit of hearts, expect something involving feelings, creativity and intuition. As mentioned before, situations involving the partner, family and friends.

Delivery and opening

Take advantage of this time to be open to new things and harness your potential. The Jack of Cups indicates an interest in exploring and getting to know. It is by being curious and engaged that it becomes possible to achieve the discoveries that the jack provides.

The suit of Cups promotes reflection and proposes this journey of self-knowledge through the universe of feelings. In other words, this is a good time to follow your intuition and let yourself be led to new paths that will lead you to happiness.

Jack of Hearts in love

Good surprises come for the committed and for the single. In love, there are chances of novelties that can change the relationship. Follow along.

For committed people

The Jack of Hearts here can have two meanings: it can be the way you perceive the relationship, or it can symbolise your partner. If the card indicates a person, the Jack of Hearts is someone spontaneous, honest, creative and a little naive, regardless of age. This immaturity can be a nuisance within the relationship, if your expectations are different.

If the Jack of Hearts refers to a relationship, this card indicates a romance in the beginning, one of those who do not know how to act, like the ones you had in adolescence. You lack security in assuming what you and your partner feel. Since you do not know what to do, the always alert defenses can hurt the other person.

Another distinct possibility is that there is interest in both of you taking a new step, bringing out the unknown side of you. Think of situations like a joint project, marriage, or a baby. Situations that can be confirmed through other cards in the game.

For singles

For singles, the Jack of Hearts can be how you understand love or the personality of your romantic interest, someone spontaneous as described above. If the card talks about yourself, it points to a phase when you perceive love in a pure and light way.

A period when you are open-hearted and ready to fall in love, without thinking about past issues. This could be the time to enjoy being single and discover more about yourself for future relationships. Or to change your attitude to make that nonchalant flirtation hook up into something serious.

A good global reading of the cards will indicate how you understand potential partners and how they perceive you, giving you the security to take the initiative to start the commitment or to walk away and maintain independence.

Jack of hearts at work

The Jack of Hearts is innocent, creative and full of dreams. This card calls for the balance between being taken seriously, without giving up on your dreams.Understand how.

For employees

The advice goes here, be focused on work, create a long term plan and don't let idealizations take up all your time. Plan to achieve a new position at work or to get the job you've always wanted.

Because idealizations are very present, the chart does not advise you to take risks, not without a plan B. The Jack of Hearts is too subject to the things of the heart and to get carried away, spend too much or enter into projects that will not give returns, so be careful.

For unemployed persons

You are a very creative person and possibly have an interest in the arts. Have you ever thought of trying your hand at something in the field? It may be your dream, but it will remain a dream unless you list the steps necessary to make it a reality and work at it.

Don't forget, the suit of hearts is a suit about idealization. The possibilities of the jack of hearts don't become real without planning and action. In short, this is the time to take advantage of the light energy of the Jack of hearts to take initiative.

Combinations with the Jack of Hearts

With a card as full of possibilities as the Jack of Hearts, it is the combinations and the game that guide to the best reading. See the examples.

Negative combinations

A little more about the Jack of Hearts

A messenger can bring good or bad news. The suit of Cups indicates that matters involve feelings. For a full understanding of the card, we break down the Jack of Cups into more aspects.

In health

As stated above, in matters of health, there is a great chance that the Jack of Hearts indicates a pregnancy, because it has the sense of renewal, novelty and discovery that the Jack of Hearts indicates. This meaning is enhanced if the drawing includes the cards Empress, Ace of Hearts or 3 of Hearts.

Inverted card

If you read reversed cards or if the Jack of Hearts appears in a negative house, some issues of the card become more evident. In this case, fear is the dominant feeling.

All your creativity is being held back by fear, either of having your ideas stolen, or fear of failure. And so you keep your ideas to yourself by saying you will wait for them to mature, when it is likely to be fear preventing their development.

These doubts are different from self-criticism or being realistic and will not help you progress. You need to work on your self-confidence, listen to your intuition and build plans that reinforce that your projects are possible. Don't let fear win.

It's also possible that you're suffering from a creative block and no good ideas are coming to you. Despite what it sounds like, it's just a phase. Good ideas are within your grasp and using your intuition to choose which to develop is another piece of advice from the Jack of Hearts.

Finally, the inverted card can indicate someone very immature, a person who is running away from responsibilities, even uncontrolled in emotional matters.

Challenges

The Jack of Hearts demands two questions from the reader: it asks for dialogue and maturity. These are the challenges of the card. Being an insecure person, trapped in his own defenses, it is not difficult that the best solution seems to isolate himself, when much can be solved through dialogue.

Much can be learned through dialogue, as new perspectives emerge and provoke a positive result, but one must have the courage to propose a frank conversation. Secondly, act responsibly, without resorting to detours or absorbing oneself in one's own pain (and drama). The Jack of Hearts needs to deal with his feelings and the surprises of life with maturity.

Tips

You are trying to deal with new emotions and unexpected situations. To make it easier to master these feelings, invest in communication: say what you feel, what you expect, be honest and talk about your expectations.

It's also possible that you've focused too much on the details and forgotten the big picture. The Jack of Cups advises you to seek new perspectives. Even someone else can give you new ideas, the finishing touch that was missing in the situation.

Can the Jack of Hearts signify a good time to begin partnerships?

There is no straightforward answer to this question. As the Jack of Hearts indicates a newness which we are learning to handle, it is difficult to say with certainty that this is a good time to enter into partnerships.

Where the Jack of Hearts is involved, your naivety can cloud your judgment and cause you to act on impulse. With this card, we have only the will to accomplish, without regard to reality, for the jack only indicates that there is much desire to create.

Understand that only with a complete reading or through your own judgment will it be possible to determine if the partnership offered will have positive results, because the letter says very little about the conditions of the offer. For the rest, good luck.
