What the Jack of Clubs Means
The Jack of Clubs is the trustworthy friend. In traditional descriptions he is a dark-haired young man, sincere, hard-working and loyal, the sort who turns up when he said he would. He brings news, usually about work, and practical help. As a quality rather than a person, the Jack is reliability: effort you can count on. Drawn for a question, he says a dependable person is on your side, or that your own steadiness is the thing that carries the day.

The Suit of Clubs
Clubs are the suit of effort. They cover work, business, study, ambition, and the friendships and rivalries that come from doing things with other people. A reading full of Clubs says the answer is earned: it depends on what you do next, not on what you feel or what you are given. Clubs are mostly encouraging, with warnings about haste (the Eight), stalling (the Four) and quarrels (the Five). Old cartomancers gave the suit the summer, and matched it with the Wands of the tarot.
