Meaning of Enemies
Enemies speaks of what stands in opposition. The card names no individual: it describes diverging interests, competition, resistance, goals that collide. In ordinary life, this takes the form of a rivalry at work, a tense neighborhood, a project thwarted by opposing opinions.
Coming from the Mars series, it reminds you that an opposition is also information. It reveals what matters to each person and where the friction points lie. You gain by listening to the opposing argument, looking for common ground, or taking a clear position when the divergence is real.
Its downside is permanent suspicion: reading everything as an attack and closing doors that could have opened.
Enemies in your life

Where the sources disagree
- Tone of the cards: A ranking set by the site from the name of each card, with no old source: 21 supportive cards, 14 demanding, 18 neutral. It gives the tone of a reading, never an answer or a yes or no.
- Dominant series: When one planet comes up more often than the others in a reading (at least two cards), its series colors the interpretation. A modern reading rule, described by several guides; cards outside the series are not part of the count.
- Images of the cards: The drawings attributed to the mage Edmond (died 1881) are old, but the cards published since 1961 and the Mucem photographs are not under a free license. The site draws its own pictograms and reproduces no card.
