Reading for Lady K & Gentleman D

After you lay the GENTLEMAN and LADY cards according to the instructions in the previous post start your interpretation at position 1. It is always a good idea to scan the entire layout to get a feel of the cards and keep the Crossing card in mind when merging the meanings of the cards up Card 5 (whatever question you may decide to name this position).

Try this Layout

POSITION 1: 34 FISH

BENEATH GENTLEMAN:

HOW DOES GENTLEMAN D SEE LADY K BASICALLY WHAT DOES HE THINK ABOUT HER?

FISH: This card has positive energy. He sees her as someone who can look after herself.

POSITION 2: 6 CLOUDS

LEFT OF GENTLEMAN:

DOES GENTLEMAN D WANT TO RETURN TO THE RELATIONSHIP WITH LADY K?

CLOUDS: He is not sure what he wants. There are a lot of things up in the air for him. Most likely he is experiencing some financial setbacks or is not where he wants to be to offer a steady relationship.

POSITION 3. 35 ANCHOR

ABOVE GENTLEMAN:

WHAT LADY K DOESN’T KNOW ABOUT GENTLEMAN K.

ANCHOR: Gentleman D is more reliable than she may think. I think his career direction is very important to him and he needs the security of steady work with little risk involved. He is not focused on the relationship in the same way as Lady K.

POSITION 4: 14 FOX

BRIDGE POSITION: RIGHT OF GENTLEMAN AND TO THE LEFT OF THE LADY. THE MIDDLE CARD.

WILL GENTLEMAN D AND LADY K BUILD A BRIDGE AND START OVER?

FOX: Not always a welcome card when asking about relationships. This card could mean some game playing but Lady K is smart (another level of the Fox meaning). Will they start over? In my analysis of this card I wouldn’t rule it out because the Fox card cautions to take things slowly and to really ask yourself if this is what you want. As I said before always factor the last card which in this case is the Mountain card.

POSITION 5: 21 MOUNTAIN

CROSSING CARD:

IS THERE A FUTURE FOR GENTLEMAN D AND LADY K?

MOUNTAIN: This last spot reveals the opportunities and oppositions in relation to the question. Your question can be different and this will still apply.

The Mountain card shows a distant future with many twists and turns. If you look carefully at the image on this card you will see roads or pathways through and over the mountain. In the background there is the sun’s aura. There are brighter times ahead.

The summation of all the cards in the various question positions suggest Lady K needs to move on with her own life. This does not mean move on with another male which she is free to, if she wants.

Lady K is losing a lot of energy by thinking about Gentleman D and what he thinks about her & the relationship. It’s not important what Gentleman D thinks! It is important what she needs to bring her some peace of mind.

The Fox card lends her some strategic energy. What this means is that she can choose to take the high road and not allow Gentleman D to think he has the upper hand. He does not! Lady K is in control.

Matters of the heart can rip us apart. The uncertainty of not getting truthful reassurance that we really do matter in our partner’s life. Women tend to experience shades of Love which men don’t understand.

Males have never really understood the Goddess Female

I think sometimes we don’t understand ourselves, either.

Simple Trigger Layout

Reading interpretation for Female E. using the French Cartomancy deck. The featured spread is the Simple Trigger layout.

TRIGGER ROW: COFFIN. LADY. HEART. LILY.

Female E. is represented by the LADY. In the past column we find the COFFIN suggesting some sort of ending or new direction involving a male -FISH. The past column does show optimism regarding this new direction which is depicted by the SUN card.

In the now column the GENTLEMAN is directly above the LADY. This means the male is very much on her mind. She is thinking about him quite profoundly. He in turn is worried about money (FISH) and some challenges (MOUNTAIN) which are before him. Beneath the LADY lies the WHIP card. This card foretells some disagreement coming or lack of clarity in communication.

Directly in front of the LADY is the HEART card falling in the immediate column. The female is looking right at this card. Her emotions are tied with this male (GENTLEMAN) and she will be a little suspicious (SNAKE) in the near future. The obstacles suggested by the MOUNTAIN card will be in the relationship (HEART). The female feels something is not right (SNAKE). It could be another female (SNAKE) involved.

By the time Female E’s birthday rolls around this situation should be resolved.  The LILY card promises that harmony will be restored.  The SCYTHE in the soon column suggests the aggravations of the MOUNTAIN card will cease. The CLOVER depicts a fast solution.

The overall important card in the Trigger Layout is the LILY card. It is positive. The Layout ends in the CLOVER card which suggests whatever dilemma is going on now it should be concluded before Female E’s birthday.

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.

#34 Fish, King of Diamonds

#34 Fish, King of Diamonds

In the tradition of the Madame Lenormand interpretation of the #34 Fish card most Lenormand cartomancers (diviners of cards) will agree that the card’s primary meaning is money matters. The vast range of financial situations.

This card is usually about money coming in. A check (#27 letter), a windfall (#2 clover), inheritance (#8 coffin), as a gift (#9 bouquet) & certainly not limited to just those cards. When coupled with negative cards points to money spent ( #23 mouse), money stopped ( #10 scythe), money blocked (#21 mountain), financial change (#17 stork) etc.

The symbolism of the fish suggest fluid energy which is what money is – energy. It is important to circulate this energy by spending it and also by accepting the abundance it does represent. If you hold on tightly to things of tangible/financial value you block the flow of energy. This applies to information as well -In a simple ritual of attracting money to yourself, one of the key parts to the successful manifestation of this attraction is to generate flow. In your belief system, you must allow abundance by being open to it. Also, by giving money or things of value away (releasing it) you contribute to the cycle of flow. The fluid aspect will also indicate liquids of different types- water, alcohol etc.

When you use the King of Diamonds to represent a person connected to a situation, he will be a businessman or person with financial knowledge or have a level of great understanding to take charge.In ancient cartomancy, the King represents a fair haired man which includes blond, auburn, salt n pepper. He has been associated with the King of Wands of the Tarot. A fireball personality – an Aries ruled by Mars.

The start of the Spring time March 21st. Because of the Mars energy contained within the King of Diamonds he will have a short fuse and a quick temper. He likes to be in control which puts him in positions of command- an executive, a manager, an officer, tough boss, strict father, controlling husband.I think that people may be split on whether diamonds = wands or pentacles. A division for quite a few decades. In the ancient gypsy meanings the clubs point to money & financial matters more so than the diamonds. The more modern associations of the playing card meanings use Diamonds to represent the financial world.

Pick one system and master it before going on to another system because it will be discouraging when you find out all…the…other…meanings for each and every card.One of the older meanings for the King of Wands is the representation of marriage. The diamond King can adopt this suggested meaning as well when the specific questions relate to marriage. It will foretell success and the road leading to such. As always, the contributing cards modify meanings.

Don’t forget, the combinations do not always alter the meanings of the cards even though it appears that way.

The core meanings are just like your core personality- no matter how you are influenced by contributing situations

THE REAL YOU

will always surface

For example: #34 Fish, #2 Clover, #10 Scythe a financially related matter will be intensified with a stroke of unexpected or fast luck which ends in a sudden conclusion/ending. None of the 3 card’s meanings are really lost- they are blended. On another level, a fair haired man with a quick temper blows up fast and gets over it immediately. French Cartomancy image of cards is used to explain this sample reading.
