Question from Tina

A question from the comments section. My suggested interpretation is beneath Tina’s quote.

dear Madame Seaqueen,
I would need your help to understand this card.All the time I have trouble with The Clouds card.I use French deck,the lighter side is on the left,the darker side on the right.
I did 5 cards spread for a friend and this card was the last one.

KEY+ Bouquet+ Letter+ Fish+ Clouds

the question was : “Will I get married with X.?”

it bothers me the last card because I really don’t know if I should interpret in a positive way according the direction of the brighter side of the card.If I would follow this rule than I would say this girl will get married with X.All problems will dissipate and she will get her desire especially that The Key card appears in the spread but also it mirrors the Clouds card.
Can you help me with this?
thank you

Your analysis of these 5 cards is very insightful.  The suggested meanings for all 36 Lenormand cards can be found at the following —->LINK.
33. KEY – Opens and closes the doors to knowledge about people and situations.  Mostly a positive influence in that it will lead to some sort of resolution. Coupled with the SCYTHE card –leads to a dead end. With the COFFIN card points to new directions in solutions.
9. BOUQUET – A gift or token of appreciation. Fond feeling towards you. Generally a favorable outcome regarding a situation.   As a person, (Queen of Spades) suggests a more mature female who generally is without a partner. Don’t worry be happy – the outcome is usually good.
27. LETTER – Covers a vast amount of areas –the written word.  Easy enough to figure out by looking at the nearby cards.  News, announcements, memos etc.  Coupled with the BIRDS card juicy gossip.  With the PARK card an invitation to a gathering or party.  Near the CROSS card- disturbing news.  When the SCYTHE & COFFIN cards are  involved – obituary.
34. FISH – The money card. As a person, (King of Diamonds) can suggest someone that is connected to the financial filed. Connected to matters that are fluid.  Coupled with the PARK card- a nightclub or bar.  With the CHILD card – a growing bank account, money spent on things pertaining to children.  Near the SCYTHE card can indicate coming into some loot quite unexpectedly.
6. CLOUDS = As a male (King of Clubs) he would be someone that is pessimistic.  In a situation the suggestion is to brace yourself for some rock n roll of your emotions.  Hectic. Disappointments.  A cooling off period.

****

I think X is and will be concerned about the overall financial (fish)situation.  There are fond (bouquet) feelings for the lady in question. The key card offers hope as you stated.  The dark side of the clouds card in the French Cartomancy deck does point to the right at the end of the spread which leads me to think the issue is not directed to marriage.  The message of the cloud card is a minor alert however there are no strong negative cards in the layout that point to a definite no.  More time is needed in the unfoldment of this relationship.  As far as a definite yes answer regarding marriage I don’t see it addressed until X sorts out his finances.

Open discussions (letter) are important about intent to marry. Does X know the female is thinking of marriage or is that her wish?  Sometimes females think one thing and males are not on the same wavelength.  Honest communication about marriage is recommended.

afterthoughts on previous Fox post

Purchase this deck from Publisher.

In the previous post I detailed some possible meanings for the Lenormand cards illustrated in the above image.  I started thinking about the FOX card again today as I was preparing a post on my other blog.

When combining the PATH with FOX a wrong decision may have been made by the LADY based on some information or news she received.

This news (LETTER) could have been misleading (SNAKE) or a corrupted version. As the result the LADY made up her mind in regards to the GENTLEMAN.

The CLOVER would suggest the LADY & GENTLEMAN engaged in the conversation and the situation dissolved quickly.  This does not rule out the fact they may break up (TOWER) over some other situation which could materialize over the weeks to come.

What do the Lenormand cards reveal?

What do the Lenormand cards reveal?

I am going to briefly interpret the 20 Lenormand cards belonging to a full board (36) reading.

The GENTLEMAN card is the significant other of the female LADY of this reading.  Here we can see that he may be keeping secrets BOOK from her regarding a possible health issue TREE. It looks like he may have gotten some news LETTER in the recent past which requires some further investigation or solutions KEY.  I want to read ANCHOR as something which is rooted TREE in his past and which could also involve a female STORK Queen of Hearts friend DOG.

The LADY represents the female getting the reading.  The BOOK card touches both the LADY and GENTLEMAN cards and means there is something hidden from the lady which involves the male. As you can see the dark  CLOUDS are ahead of  her in the immediate future column. The King of Clubs is looking towards the LADY card and I want to read this as an imminent situation coming up.  The RIDER is bringing some news or circumstance into the LADY’s life real soon.  Maybe even within the next few days.  I can’t help but think the GENTLEMAN has a strong association with this.

Is the RIDER bringing news of grief BIRDS and undue hardship CROSS?  Will there be a sudden SCYTHE turn of events from a situation which was not revealed BOOK to the female?

Let’s look at the HEART card next.  This card will reveal the female’s emotional situation.  It looks like there will be a fated event CROSS affecting her emotions HEART which will cause her much unbalance WHIP at the beginning of this circumstance.  Changes STORK are coming which could end up in a huge argument WHIP.  The LILY card hints at a romantic connection which will as a result end up in a decision PATH of which way to go after this episode is brought into the open.

When the BEAR card is near the HEART it does suggest a powerful attraction.  Another way to read BEAR is as a person, an older man.  Many Lenormand card Readers use the HEART card to actually represent the physical heart.  If you look back in the same row you can see the TREE card which does suggest health to a certain degree.  For the most part ANCHOR is positive, however, it can also mean something which will not go away like a disease.

I have a gut feeling the GENTLEMAN has a health issue TREE and the extent of it is not fully known BOOK.

Let’s examine the SCYTHE card next.  We all know this card can be very negative when connected to BIRDS,  CLOUDS and CROSS.  The only way we can read these cards in a positive way is to determine if the abrupt chaotic situation is beneficial in the long run.  Short term pain long term gain.

There is no doubt in my mind the female represented by the LADY is in for quite a disturbing time over the next few weeks or months.

Those are just a few possible predictions.  The cards reveal much more when you criss cross them or read just the rows or columns. Each card is a word of a sentence. When you establish the sentence you have a theme or probable prediction.

Card of the Day. Lenormand CROSS+LETTER- follow up

DAY 21

The influence of the CROSS did suggest suffering to a certain degree which happens when individuals are not feeling well. Today’s  experience did tie in with CROSS – the end of certain medication.

The LETTER card did point to news. A rather simple outcome transpired. The news that some medications will not be administered as they were for the past 3 weeks.

Also, CROSS + LETTER represented the nurses who shared a variety of information on the side effects of certain meds which contribute to someone’s ill mood through physical suffering like nausea, etc.

One more minor event.   I did go and renew the vehicle plates. That is definitely official documentation.

Card of the Day. Lenormand CROSS+LETTER

DAY 21

36. CROSS and 27. LETTER

This duo above CROSS + LETTER gives me an unsettled feeling.

The CROSS card on it’s own can depict hardships (“cross to bear”).  This card does suggest a test of some sort.  A test can be anything from an exam to an actual X-ray.  I see the CROSS to signify an end or finalization but slightly different than the COFFIN card.  CROSS can stir up religious feelings in you.

A form of suffering which can lead to cleansing.

The LETTER card has the  familiar associations with any type of correspondence.  It can be quite casual without any major significance.  Coupled with the CROSS card this news will be of the utmost relevance and could point to a totally new direction or outcome.

Often the LETTER card represents official documentation like medical release forms, insurance related topics and even job rejection notifications.  This can mean just about anything.  It really depends on the card(s) next to it.

Maybe you are asking God

for a sign that He is hearing your Prayers.

Lenormand #27 Letter card

The Letter

27. LETTER – Covers a vast amount of areas –the written word. Easy enough to figure out by looking at the nearby cards. News, announcements, memos etc. Coupled with the BIRDS card juicy gossip. With the PARK card an invitation to a gathering or party. Near the CROSS card- disturbing news. When the SCYTHE & COFFIN cards are involved – obituary.

I think the Letter card is the only one in the deck I have not detailed.  Once I finish this post I will add the link to the list of Lenormand meanings situated underneath the header.

Communication is the basis of this card.  These days it is mostly in electronic form especially when the BIRDS card is next to it.  The BIRDS card also implies hen-talk.  Of course, when coupled with the SHIP card it would suggest correspondence from overseas like a postcard or actual written letter (something which is slowly disappearing).

As with most of the Lenormand cards combinations will reveal what type of communication is coming.  News arrives via telephone/mobile as well and I think that text messaging is in keeping with the theme of the LETTER card.

I think this card is easy to interpret when combining with others.  When you add the TOWER card it can point to legal documentation such as  job descriptions, professional appointments, agreements and so on.

The envelope in the image is sealed.  It is not clear what the information is.  It’s important not to confuse it with the meanings given to the BOOK card.  I would categorize the LETTER as neutral energy.

When I see the LETTER card falling in the near future spots it tells me I will learn of something which is either completely new or an expansion of some situation.  Usually I hear an outcome or result of a circumstance.

The LETTER card is a reminder to schedule an appointment with a health practitioner when next to the TREE card.

Marriage question using Lenormand

The Simple 6 card layout is used to illustrate the question. Male B. is the seeker of the Lenormand session. Layouts need not be complicated- keep it simple. You can replace the past, present, future rows with other identifications, such as, decision made/results of decision/how will my decision affect me…. and so on.

Question: Will B get married?

PAST- top 2 cards. LETTER + CROSS

27. LETTER – Covers a vast amount of areas –the written word. Easy enough to figure out by looking at the nearby cards. News, announcements, memos etc. Coupled with the BIRDS card juicy gossip. With the PARK card an invitation to a gathering or party. Near the CROSS card- disturbing news. When the SCYTHE & COFFIN cards are involved – obituary.

36. CROSS – A test. Related to Karmic situations. It’s a sure thing. In the positive aspects of this card there is a promise of completion. Describes something important. Coupled with the HOUSE card- negative news approaches regarding a family member. With the Moon card –profound thoughts. Near the SHIP card- a trip out of necessity.

.B received some important news in the recent past regarding his question about marriage. It appears as though there has been a final commitment (CROSS)or some type of resolution which has put an end to the many questions in his mind. Maybe the wedding invitations (LETTER)were just sent or an appointment has been made with a religious official. The CROSS card can represent a church as well.

PRESENT- middle 2 cards. HEART + ANCHOR

24. HEART- The positive emotional level, however it is influenced greatly by surrounding cards. The love department in a person’s life. Good cards nearby reinforce the strength of feelings contained within. Affection, caring. As a person (Jack of Hearts) suggests a romantic or potential love interest. Coupled with the GENTLEMAN card will describe a love-filled individual. Near the CROSS card- a Karmic affair with a fated feeling. With the DOG card-doesn’t get much better –utmost loyalty in love.

35. ANCHOR – What you do for a living. Strengthens neighboring cards so that there is more security. Finding the target or goal. As a characteristic, someone who is dependable. Coupled with the WHIP card will indicate 2 jobs. With the MOUSE card –loss of position.

.In the current state surrounding B there is a strong suggestion that love is here to stay. The ANCHOR card reinforces the power of the love within the HEART card. There still is some work (ANCHOR) to do and that is understandable as there is a wedding to plan.

FUTURE- bottom 2 cards. LADY + HOUSE

29. LADY- Female seeker of cards. The partner of the male getting the reading. When the GENTLEMAN & LADY cards fall in the “now” spot the suggestion is that these 2 people will see each other (if living apart) or be caught up in an important situation. Coupled with the MOON card- an emotional personality. With the MOUNTAIN card-unable to express feelings.When the BOOK card is beside either of these two cards & falling in the future spots, it can indicate meeting someone new especially if the CHILD card is involved. With the STORK card- return of a former lover or friend.

4. HOUSE = Wherever you live. When this card is beside the SHIP it can suggest a houseboat or trailer. Matters concerning the family members. A father or head of the household (King of Cups). Property.

.These two cards are suppose to answer the question. Lucky for B, his special LADY falls in the future spot. This is a very good omen as far as “people showing up in the future”. She is thinking about wanting a family (HOUSE) and all the wonderful things that go along with that. Her feelings of love a deep and unwavering. It looks like daddy (King of Cups) will lend a helping hand in all the preparations to come. Often parents do not or can not participate in a wedding. Yes it looks affirmative for B to get married.

Letter & Clouds Lenormand

In the last post I stated……..
“LETTER & CLOUDS suggest some communication that will happen within a short period of time that could be unsettling. Usually when the CLOUDS are beside the significator/querent card (lady or gentleman) the person is worried about something. A general overcast feeling. “

As it turned out there was a message/news that came that was very disappointing and it was not directly from a man but from a person in a position of authority, King of Clubs (as Kings sometimes are).

The message put a damper on a goal/wish CLOUDS & STARS.

The fact that parts of this reading materialized within a day or so of the “simple situation layout” reading really startled me because I was not expecting this message.

In the same layout using the Beidermeier cards, the THIEF & ENEMY cards were looming over the SWEETHEART heart. In that layout the SWEETHEART card was turned away from these cards. That is in line totally with the fact that I
(SWEETHEART) did not anticipate this disappointing message. Nothing serious. But nevertheless -connected to the MERRIMENT card – SWEETHEART was perhaps a little too sure, and was not seeing the “theft” of a hope that she soon would experience.

As I think about the “simple situation layout” – the cards described the situation in black and white, it was as plain as day.

The connection I made with the Tarot HANGED MAN was right on to some degree because I was not looking at the obvious possibility because I was wrapped around too much optimism for this one goal to manifest successfully -and it didn’t, well not now anyways.
