So, I’m out having a totally 3 of Cups moment with two girlfriends – celebrating my friend’s 60th birthday and having a jolly nice time at a discreet and ‘spensive restaurant. We are just perusing the extensive menu when I happen to glance over the balcony (that’s how posh it was, it has a BALCONY) into another part of the restaurant below.
Oh. My. God.
REALLY – OH. MY. GOD!!!!!
Paolo Nutini was standing chatting to some friends, well within hormone-affecting distance. PAOLO NUTINI!!!!! Don’t know who he is?
But now, here’s the challenge – can I turn this into a lejit court card blog post?! Let me try!!
Court Card insights:
On that Saturday I would say that he was a Cup or a Pentacle: Family relationships are clearly important to him – he flew in from Germany for the party and would be flying back out there directly afterwards to continue with his tour.
He was also exhibiting Queenly behaviour Cup or Pentacle – it was his idea to get together for the photo and to offer the tickets – caring about his fans and nurturing them too.
But he was also very Wandsy. Sex on legs if truth be told. But of course, HE didn’t see himself that way in this situation; he was just being very sweet to a fan. The Wandy thing was simply this poor old Queen of Wands getting stirred up! So that was entirely my projection onto the situation. A woman can dream, can she not?!
Update: I didn’t go (I was going to see Wicked in Glasgow the following night and it was going to be a logistical nightmare, plus I didn’t think that the bit of paper would make it out of his suit pocket). On one hand, I feel sad about missing out on the gig, but yanno what? It doesn’t really matter for “I too had my hour, one far fierce hour and sweet, there was a Nutini by my side and shaking knees above my feet.”
*apologies to G K Chesterton’s The Donkey for bastardising its lines 😀
Stop being confused by court cards! Start being excited by the possibilities! Become a court card adventurer along with me 🙂 The Tarot’s Court Cards are my specialist area. They talk to me. Not LITERALLY though ….

Great job on turning this into a Thrones post – where there's a will… 😉 How totally exciting and awesome. And being a Queen of Wands clearly has its benefits – I would have just stood there admiring, and never have gotten the photo op or the chance to talk with him 😀
He is quite a handsome man. I know his parents. they own Castlevecchi, the best chip shop ever. I worked up the road when I worked for Kings, so saw them quite often.
Wayhey! Didn't expect to see you here on Thrones LM! Mind you, Hestia is being sadly neglected at the moment. I must get back there!!!!
Just as Bonnie I've never heard of him but he is so cute. Makes me feel so much younger again! You are one lucky woman! What and event 🙂
Ellen, If I'd been 25 years younger……well, he wouldn't have been born lol!
Great post! I had never hard of this gentleman … he is gorgeous, courtly, and a lovely singer!
He's great – got quite eclectic album in the form of 'Sunny Side Up' (last album to this one). I luff him :-d
Isn't he just gorgeous! I think I'd heard the name before, but I'm way out of touch with the music scene generally. You did a good job relating this to the courts, and of course your style in telling the story is the most entertaining part. Ali boring? Never! 🙂
Joanne – your comments always cheer me up enormously! Thank you 😀
