The essentials
Negotiations at a glance
For you, Negotiations invites you to talk rather than dig in, looking for what each person can accept.
A strength
A dialogue that listens, rephrases, and builds solid common ground.
Something to watch
Read more Negotiating without knowing what is essential to you, or giving in too fast to avoid the discussion.
Meaning of Negotiations
Negotiations speaks of the words that bring people closer. The card evokes a discussion in which each person sets out their needs and you move toward a compromise: a mediation, a difficult conversation, an arrangement to pin down. It says nothing about the outcome; it shows the path of dialogue.
Among the Mars cards, it is the constructive side of conflict: the energy of opposition becomes the engine of discussion. It invites you to prepare your priorities, listen before answering, and put forward concrete proposals rather than reproaches.
Its downside is false dialogue: talking without listening, or accepting a shaky agreement that you will regret.
Negotiations in your life
At work
For a file in progress, the card evokes a negotiation: prepare your priorities, hear the other side’s constraints, and propose options.

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.
