Basic Gypsy Domino Fortune Telling

Gypsies are said to practise a very old system of fortune telling and divination with a standard Double-Six domino set.  As with all divination methods, the person conducting the reading should use their own intuition and instinct to interpret a more specific meaning in the tiles, and only use the meanings described here as a general guide.

Be warned that reading your own fortune or repeating the process more than three times in a week for a single individual, may bring bad luck and backfire on both the subject and the interpreter.  Superstition also holds that readings made on a Monday or Friday are unlucky.

The person seeking a reading from the dominoes should shuffle them all face down while silently asking a question in their mind that they seek guidance on, or just generally considering their possible future life outcome.

(Note that 0 represents the blank suit value)

The general interpretations of the individual suit values are as follows:

  • 0 = The subject who seeks an answer to a question or insight into their future
  • 1 = Journeys or travel
  • 2 = Relatives, loved ones and close friends
  • 3 = Romance
  • 4 = Wealth, material prosperity and finance
  • 5 = Work and career
  • 6 = Fortune and luck

Each tile should be positioned and read horizontally with the two suits on either end of a tile interpreted from left to right.

The subject should draw a domino from the mixed boneyard with their left hand and set it horizontally in front of him/her. This shows their fortune for roughly one month ahead.
