The book card conjures up the image of a book, usually lying open to halfway and on it’s spine. Books are all about knowledge and information -- to read one makes you smarter and more educated. Visiting new lands, thinking new ideas, dreaming new dreams, meeting new people and absorbing new customs and cultures are all possible either through imagination during reading or through actually learning new skills and new ideas that will take you to a new place literally, in the first person.
The book card generally references information or knowledge, but it could also be referring to a diary or journal, filled with secrets. This book may be the key to a hardship you have been facing in the present. It may also be indicating a newspaper, project, audit, diagram, textbook, or any kind of paper filled file that could help you. It could reference a research journal, periodical, magazine, or anything that has words on paper. You may have to think outside the box on this one, it might not be an actual book. It may be talking about school, your program of study, or some kind of report or project. A book could even be referring to magic, like spells, or the occult, or even decks of cards or tricks. Location wise, a book could be referring to a library, bookstore, school, college, or some kind of study. Any place that is quiet or that you do work. Anyone you work with, like a study partner or work mate, could also be the meaning behind the book card. Health wise, this card could be referring to your brain, memory, knowledge, anomia - the condition of not being able to name things, or any type of condition or testing revolving the brain.
The number 26 is the atomic number of iron, and in base ten, 26 is the smallest number that is not a palindrome to have a square. It’s also the number of complete miles in a marathon, as often referenced by 26.1 terminology. 26 could also be referring to Z, the last letter of the English alphabet. It is the omega, the end of knowledge. 26 randomly was also the number of cases on the popular games how Deal or No Deal. It was never said why 26 was the particular number chosen. 26 is also the number of red and black cards, respectively, in a deck of cards. It’s also the number of episodes per season generally in United States television programs. In this case, the number 26 is very likely here to remind you that wisdom is the end all be all of solving problems. If there is something that is troubling you, to understand it is to beat the problem. Perhaps if you understand it more thoroughly, you will be able to overcome it in a more successful way.
The ship card depicts a large water vessel, sails fully outstretched, moving across the seas. The boat or ship is one of the most easily discernible symbols, and from first glance it reminds us of stories of travel that we’ve heard from childhood. The ship represents a real life voyage to a far away destination, a journey that may even bring to the traveler riches or cargo from a far away land. The ship card may also refer to a long-lost love returning to you, or exciting news from someone you haven’t heard from in a very long time. You may even clean out a garage, basement, or forgotten closet and find a “message in a bottle.” Just like looking forward to an upcoming trip, the ship card indicates that you will put hopes or resources into an opportunity and hope for a positive return. It may even be a new business venture or partnership, even an impending marriage. In a literal sense, it may even refer to an upcoming cruise or fishing expedition. Most of the time, though, the ship card is speaking to the journey ahead and the joys and souvenirs it will bring. Life is a journey and not solely about the destination, so as the French would say, Bon Voyage! It’s time to break that bottle of wine against the side of the ship and take off on an amazing adventure.
Literally, the number three can represent March, which may be the month of your travel. 3 o’clock or 3 weeks or years from now are also possibilities. Multiples of 3 can also be considered, like 2021. In Christianity the number 3 would represent the Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost which are omnipresent and anywhere and everywhere, through space and time. The Pythagoreans thought that 3 was the first true number. It’s also symbolic of triangles, it’s the first number to form a geometric shape. In fairy tales and religious rituals things are often said or done three times. We use the expression, “third time’s the charm!” We also count to three when we want to do something in synchronicity. It’s a very powerful number. Three colors of light are needed to make all other colors of light, three colors of paint are needed to make all other colors of paint.
Because the Book card can refer to legal documents or printed materials, and the Ship card can refer to travels or news from far away these two cards together mean that you will soon be receiving a print message from far away. This could be a letter from a relative, long-lost friend, or even a future work contact. This message should bring with it new opportunities!
The Book is represented by the number 26, and the Ship is represented by the number 3. When we combine them we get the number 29. Since 29 isn’t a single digit number, we add the 2 + 9 to get the number 11. We then need to add 1 + 1 to get the number 2
The number two can represent two people, like luck in love. It may also be used to indicate the month of February, the day of 2 or 20 or 22, or the time of 2 o’clock or 2:22, more specifically. It is not surprising that 2 is the month that is luckiest for two people in love, which holds the holiday of Valentine’s Day. Two can mean a pair, and can literally refer to cards and poker, but less literally be addressing the time frame of upcoming luck, or that your riches (or problems) will double. In a simple way, most people believe that their lucky numbers will bring them riches through a literal sense, and most likely through gambling. These people may try to play the number on a roulette wheel, buy a lottery ticket with the lucky number, or make a bet on an athlete or race horse wearing the number. However, the lucky numbers divined for you can and should be taken much further. You can use these numbers for your wedding date, grand opening date for your business, even as some form of your new home address. You can use your lucky number as a number, or can convert the number to a letter- for example, do you remember before that 2 would refer to the letter B? You can make sure to pump only your lucky number of gas, for example, as well, like $22.22, to increase your fortune on the road.
Make sure to open all your mail this week. Don’t throw anything away. Something may appear to be spam, or junk, but is really an important message. You should also clear your inbox of past messages so that you do not miss the new one.
“I will be on the lookout today for printed news from far away. This may be in the format of mail, a certified letter, or even electronic mail. I will keep an open mind to this news and will not say no or dispute it immediately. It is filled with news that could be life changing for me.” Repeat this affirmation two to three times per day, in a mirror.
