One of many Baraja Española 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 (Coins), 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 Copas, 6 Oros, & 12 Bastos.

I know the situation is overwhelming, and you’re at the point of tears if you haven’t already flooded the room. But stay at the table today. All these game pieces on the map, you’re not sure which to pick first. That’s okay. Grab the first one you can reach. Write down the important things about it. Put it back and pick up the next one. Write down the important things again. Keep doing that until you’ve written down information about all the bigger pieces. Now look at your list, and only at your list. Which of these things you wrote down do you want to get? That is where you start. One thing at a time, and the map will be cleared. (But go ahead and cry if it makes you feel better.)
