One of many Baraja Española type decks, The Baraja Azteca is a 48 card deck of playing cards used for such games as Brisca, Tute, and Mus. This 48-card variant of the deck contains four suits; Oros (Gold), Bastos (Clubs), Espadas (Swords), and Copas (Cups). While the deck is made primarily for play, it functions well as a divinatory tool. Each reader uses their own personal understanding and intuition to interpret the cards.

Today’s cards: 5 Oros, 6 Espadas, & 10 Oros.

Up to now you have played your games in the privacy of confidential spaces. Your targets don’t know who else has been caught up in your web, and you have a stockpile of social weaponry they don’t want deployed against them. Is it time to ascend the Social Ladder and be seen as the power you are? No. In fact, you should remain in the shadows for a while, and observe what is happening. Your overconfidence is blinding you to the increased risks you are about to take on. The public court is nothing like the private venues. You will not be in control of the field. You will not be able to work in isolation. Don’t let your hubris throw you down.
