Hi there, I´m pondering upon the 5 of Diamond´s birth spread, wondering whether anyone has any thoughts about it or experience to share.
I have a 5 of Diamonds son and it´s one of the energy I run into most frequently.
Last time I was doing a reading for a 5 of Diamond the image of the Little Prince, Saint-Exupery´s famous character, showed up in my mind.
The Little Prince came down to Earth with a strong memory of his original planet. He asks for very concrete answers about life on Earth and is not easily pleased with what this reality has to offer.
Similarily the 5 of Diamonds is a born with the notion of a higher frequency, a better reality, as showed by it´s underlying 9 of Diamond. For that reason it´s not easily pleased with anything on Earth - hence the 5, that is always asking for something better. A very craving card.
In their Mars card we find 9 of Diamonds again, all the time reminding 5 of Diamond of that higher frequency, how much better life could be, and how much better it probably used to be on the astroplane. But life does not permit 5 of Diamonds to just sit there dreaming or licking it´s wound; the Mercury card is the very tough 7 of Spades, forcing it to deal with earthly matters. They have been beamed down to this reality and now they have to deal with it.
The Saturn card, J of Diamonds: This is no time to play around; get down to Earth, work steadily through it, being Ms or Mr Charming is not going to do it for you. "I´m sorry little Prince, you are on Earth now..."
Rahu card, 4 of Hearts: "Love what is". Accept the conditions, be stable emotionally with what you have.
Ketu card: 4 of Diamonds: "Although this is Earth and you long for 9 of Diamonds, there is value here. Congratulations, you´ve adapted to the limited conditions of Earth."
So: A person with a strong notion of an ideal world, or of God, that unwillingly adapts to what Earth may offer.
All depending on the planets´placements of course. As shown by the example of JP Morgan that Ernst gives us in video 47. A very wealthy person; whether he was longing for a small distant planet with a rose to take care of we don´t know...
The Little Prince couldn´t take it and let the snake bite him so that he would get back home to his planet; hopefully 5 of Diamonds don´t try that "solution"; after all the Little Prince wasn´t born on Earth it seems and maybe didn´t have to stay here to have the experience...

I´ve also find that 5 of Diamond are drawn to physical challenges. Has to do with their 7 of Spades Mercury card of course. Running long distances or visiting the gym or the dojo may save them from unhealthy addictions, I guess.

So there is actually advice or guidance in the cards of truth system?
Trying to decide whether to tackle it, either later or never.
@mitryendra80 Oh yes, it brings a complete other dimension into astrology, or how should I put it... First: it takes a lot more to get to a really high level in regular astrology. With the cards you can get quite skilled in a couple of years. And then... Imagine not knowing about the Lajjitaadi avasthas, and then you discover them. Why, a new room for interpretations opens up in you astrology.
Now: it´s still cards, and the Karaka for card reading is Venus, so if you don´t combine a good Jupiter with a good Venus it´s probably not for you. If you on the other hand has a healthy Venus my guess is that you are going to be drawn into it quite magnetically.

@meyes Interesting point about Ju-Ve. I don't seem to have a varga where both of them are healthy and happy to work together in one specific domain. At least not by default anyway.
I am currently trying to train them to work together on one area though.
@mitryendra80 Well, I recommened you to try the cards before making up your mind, of course. First you could ask for a reading. There are many good CoT readers out there, like Laura Barat and Carmina Amza. I don´t have their experience and skills but can still offer a decent reading, if you want to. Free of charge.

Hi,
Interesting image, the little prince.
- Ernst also said, about the 5 of Diamonds:"in the best case scenario: the good investor, because: finding a way to sort the better from the best, and take the best. Can look past all the poor and missed opportunities and find the true opportunies that lie therein." I know someone who is a 5 of Diamonds. He told me his an opportunist. That didn't sound very flattering, but in light of what Ernst said, I now see what he meant.
- They have King of Clubs in the Venus card, so for a man, that might mean he might be willing to sacrifice some energy/activity in order to be in the relationship. I've seen that happen. The 5 of Diamonds guy I know is interested in dating me, despite me having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which would severely curtail our possibility to go on outings, travel, even go to a restaurant, etc. He seems willing to make some sacrifices in that area. (It looks like it won't work out, for other reasons, but I thought this sacrificial thing was interesting.)
- I think Ernst also said, about JP morgan, that the 7 of Spades on the Mercury card makes him less friendly and less fair, (in his business dealings). JP Morgan does have the Moon there, so I'm not sure if this is true for all 5 of Diamonds people, or true to the same extent.
- In another thread, someone said, about the 2 of Spades, ecliptic card, that they walk the path of simplicity. The 5 of Diamonds guy I know definitely likes brands, luxury, (supposedly because of the quality) so I'm not too sure what to make of this 2 of Spades or of the interpretation that was given.
@carolinedepuydt Interesting observations, yes.
I´ll start from the bottom: 2S, path of simplicity. It was me saying that in that other thread. There is Jack energy in their spread; JC on the Moon card and JD on their Saturn card, so they can be playful, for sure. I mean: My guess is that he likes luxury more as a playful thing than as a real need. Actually I believe that JD on the Saturn card tells them to let go of those things. Ace and two of Diamonds are new things, new gadgets, shiny things etc. But few people embrace the challenge of the 7th and 8th card, which equals spiritual growth when we do that. Basically: He should let go of that, but it´s not surprising that he doesn´t. (Nothing wrong with being into luxuary and brands, as long as it doesn´t have a grip over you.) Also 8H on the youthful Uranus card may say: "Because I deserve it."
Still, when it really comes down to it, they don´t need much. One thing is liking luxury and shiny things, another thing is being dependant on it, I believe.
As for the 7S it´s a survival card, so for sure, it´s not a very friendly card. Unfair? More tough and harsh maybe? I would have to see that video again.
Opportunists, in a good way, indeed. No other card has a better nose for what they need. Well, three of Diamonds has it too, but to them it works in the opposite way: They know what does NOT work for them, thus being able to conclude what they need. And they focus. When my 5D kid locks his laser on a thing, you know it´s gonna happen.
