The Lenormand Oracle deck (or small Lenormand), as you understand, consists of 36 cards. But it differs significantly from a deck of playing cards (36 cards), which is also used in fortune telling. Small Lenormand can be purchased in a store, you can cut it out from the corresponding interpretative book (sold) or you can make it yourself, as I did, downloading cards from the Internet and making my own unique deck with my energy. Each card of the small Lenormand depicts numbers and pictures, the interpretation of which is used in fortune telling. I should immediately note that working with Lenormand is easier than with Tarot; this deck takes little energy from the fortuneteller and gives answers to universal questions.

1 - Horseman (9 of hearts)

• 3928 views

Number. 1. Image. Rider.

Basic meaning. Messenger, news, news, messages, swiftness, movement.

Reversed meaning.

Mostly bad news.

The Horseman card can represent either good news or bad news depending on nearby cards. As you move away from the Questioner's card, this could be a message from a friend or some important news that came from afar. This important news can be quite serious and may have an impact on the entire future life of the Questioner. Although, of course, at first glance this news may seem insignificant to him, and at another time he might have ignored this news.

By the way, this card may not mean a mail message, but a telephone call, information heard from the media or from an unexpected visitor. In any case, the news remains news and the method of notification is completely unimportant. It is important that the news reaches your ears accurately and in a timely manner. At the same time, you need to look at the surrounding cards, lest this messenger turn out to be the notorious “rider on a pale horse.”

The meaning of the card combination

In some cases, this card may indicate connections with foreign countries, cultural or business (falling out, for example, next to the SHIP card). In general, the cards are interpreted in many ways and very broadly; for example, next to the MOON card, the HORSERMAN card may indicate that some important news will be received from a woman or thanks to female influence.

When the HORSEMAN appears in an upright position and surrounded by favorable cards, it is a good omen and foretells favorable prospects. The nature of the news, the success or failure of these connections will be reported by the adjacent card.

In the position of the future, HORSEMAN gives reason for hope - a message on the road. You will learn about a quick solution to the problem. The emergence of new ideas and thoughts in business life. A CLOVER card drawn nearby can symbolize new beginnings. If the card lies close to the Questioner's card, news will come from nearby lands and very soon; if far away - from abroad. Next to the SNAKE, RATS, COFFIN - the news is alarming and unfavorable (especially if these cards fell in a direct position).

When the card on the front line is new information, behind is a received message, at the top is urgent news, but if it falls at the bottom, then the Questioner can ignore the message.

If the HORSEMAN falls near the HOUSE - news from the homeland;

with the RING - news about some kind of union of yours - personal or business.

2 - Clover (6 diamonds)

• 4743 views

Six of Diamonds- Clover
Number- 2
Image- Clover
Main meaning - expectation of happiness, hope.
Reversed meaning- anxious anticipation.

According to legend, when St. Patrick converted Ireland to Christianity, he used the clover leaf as a symbol of the Trinity. Therefore, the clover, or shamrock, became a symbol of Ireland. But... please note that the clover leaf shown in the picture does not have 3, as expected, but 4 petals. Four-leaf clover, according to ancient Druid beliefs, is a sacred symbol of happiness, good luck and the favor of the gods. Since ancient times, such “wrong” clover has been used in folk magic to attract good spirits to the house and ward off evil spirits.

Thus, this is a card of good luck and help that will come to you in difficult times. Snakes are very afraid of the shamrock, so this is an indirect indication that you will be able to resist your enemies.

In an inverted position and in combination with unfavorable cards, the Clover card means disappointment awaiting the Questioner, collapse of plans, loss. If she is surrounded by bad cards, then the events that the Questioner fears will happen and will bring sadness.

The meaning of the card combination

If the CLOVER card lies in a direct position near the BLANK CARD (the Questioner’s card), then this is a harbinger of good luck and prosperity.

In combination with favorable cards, the CLOVER card predicts the fulfillment of hopes, good luck and material wealth; with unfavorable cards, it changes the meaning to negative.

WITH FOX - evil people are deliberately trying to harm the Questioner;

with the HORSEMAN - the problems that trouble you today will soon disappear;

with the COFFIN - do not lose hope and remain optimistic;

with TREE - these cards, falling together, as a rule, foreshadow prosperity and good luck;

with HOME - wealth in the house;

with a CROSS - let these cards give courage and confidence to a desperate person, he will have to go through a lot;

with the SUN - despondency and depression will recede and a new prosperous life will begin;

with the STARS - your happiness has returned. From now on, all your dreams, even the most incredible ones, will come true;

with CLOUDS - if the clouds are on the thunderous side, then they literally thickened over your material wealth, but if on the bright side, then financial turmoil will not affect you;

with a BOOK - knowledge and experience will lead you to material well-being;

with a RING - a blessed union will benefit your wallet;

with a SCYTHE - a dark period in life will come.

3 - Ship (10 spades)

• 2777 views

Ten of Spades - Ship

Image. Ship.

Basic meaning. Journey. Drive. Abroad. Wealth.

Reversed meaning.

Crash. Accident. A bad omen.

Ancient Chinese philosopher Xunzi in the 3rd century. BC e. made the following comparison: “The ruler is a boat, the people are water. Water carries a boat, but water can also capsize it.” Since then, no one has been able to more accurately depict the relationship between the people and the government. It’s strange that the “boat people” still can’t understand this.

The ship depicted on the map under sail is, of course, a symbol, even if you have never sailed and cannot stand sea travel. Just as in ancient times a person resisted the elements of the sea, going out on a fragile boat into the boundless sea, so now a person sets sail on the waves of life, armed most often only with his own knowledge and skills, and often without them at all.

In the upright position, this card invites you to embark on a new venture. But in the opposite position, it is a prediction of failure, collapse of ambitions and a painful fate.

The meaning of the card combination

In combination with MOUNTAIN - you will face obstacles on the way;

with a BEAR - your journey may be risky;

with a SNAKE - a trip may be fraught with meeting insincere people;

with a SCYTHE - the enterprise can be deadly;

with a LETTER - you may receive an offer to start a certain enterprise. It may be worth paying attention to commercial ties with foreign countries;

with TREE - - cards promise the Asker new prospects, plans, opportunities for luck and success in business;

with the STARS - something new will come into your life;

with HOME - it’s time for you to return to your native land;

with the HORSEMAN - the news received will call you to return back;

with CLOUDS - your enterprise may turn out to be unsafe (only the light or dark side of the CLOUDS can tell whether this enterprise will be successful or not at all);

with the RING - the enterprise you undertake will end in a strong alliance;

with ANCHOR - a clear hint that it’s time for you to drop anchor, because further movement forward is fraught with problems;

with FORK - is your ship at a crossroads? It's time to think about whether you really needed this enterprise.

4 - House (King of Hearts)

• 2679 views

King of Hearts - House

Image. House.

Basic meaning. Family hearth. Fortress. Stability. Family.

Reversed meaning.

There is trouble in the house.

In the most direct and literal interpretation, this card denotes the Questioner’s own home, his family nest. A house is also a symbol of reliability and safety in the storms of worldly vanity.

This good card in a direct position in combination with good cards means a good result, a successful ending to some matter.

In all respects, this is a favorable card, signifying success in any endeavor and mitigating the influence of unfavorable ones. The questioner will not be alone in life. This card gives you a feeling of security and reliability. However, in the symbolism of many nations, the house is also associated with the human body, especially in the aspect of exits from it, which was noted by Artemidorus of Daldian.

The appearance of this card in the front positions should prompt the Questioner to get more involved in his household chores.

In distant positions and inverted, it indicates that the Questioner is not all right in his home.

The meaning of the card combination

It is considered a bad omen if the HOUSE is upside down or is surrounded by cards of RAT, CLOUDS, SCYTHES, COFFIN.

A house in combination with a SHIP or STORK means a possible imminent move;

with WOMAN - Freudian psychology correlates the house-symbol with a woman, wife, mother, and, moreover, in a certain sexual or obstetric sense, so this combination of cards can be characterized as favorable prospects in marriage or family life;

with the HORSEMAN - receiving news concerning your home or relatives left in your homeland;

with a COFFIN - sad news concerning a person you know;

with TREE - if both are in an upright position, then this combination speaks of good health; the inversion of one of the cards is interpreted as malaise;

with a BROOM - you should not devote anyone to the details of your family problems;

with STARS - the combination of these cards is a symbol of peace and unity of man with the Universe. Do not doubt that you will definitely achieve happiness;

with a SNAKE - a person has appeared in your house who slanderes or intrigues you;

with a RING - the happiness of your home lies only in a properly established married life;

with LILY - your home will be visited by certain government structures or government officials;

with a LETTER - news will come from your home or from your homeland.

5 - Tree (7 hearts)

• 2523 views

Seven of Hearts - Tree
Number. 5.
Image. Tree.
Basic meaning. Vitality, potency, health, great internal resources.
Reversed meaning. Poor health.

In all world cultures, plants are the main symbol of living earth and cyclical nature. Plants symbolize vitality, life cycle, nutrition, abundance, passivity, immobility. Esoterically, the tree can be considered as the great universal Tree of Life - a symbol of strength, health and joy of existence. The traditional meaning of a tall tree with roots deeply rooted in the earth is power, strength, and health. The Tree Card symbolizes growth, development, good health and human affairs. In many ancient cultures, the tree was broadly considered as the axis of the world around which the Cosmos is grouped, for example, the myrrh tree hydrasil among the northern Germans.

The Tree card, falling in an upright position, indicates that the Questioner has all the strength and capabilities to achieve his goals.

However, the fortuneteller must draw the Questioner’s attention to the surrounding cards: surrounded by “bad” cards, the cards give him clear advice to think carefully about his health.

The meaning of the card combination

If the TREE lies below the Questioner's card, this is advice to ask yourself whether the Questioner is suppressing any pain: physical or spiritual? And isn’t it time to find out what caused it?

If a TREE falls on top of the Questioner's card, it may mean that the time has come to answer life's most important questions.

If it falls in the position of the past, then this is a clear indication that the Questioner has already found his place in the world. The future path is clear to him, let him continue to follow the same path.

With a HORSEMAN - don’t you really feel how your body persistently signals you about its troubles;

with a COFFIN - something must change for the worse in the near future;

with a HOUSE - it’s time to start repairing or radically reorganizing your lifestyle;

with STARS - your dreams are far in the sky and have nothing to do with reality;

with a SNAKE - it’s time for you to check your health - some hidden illness, like a worm, is gradually eroding it;

with SQUASH - you are experiencing overload, stress, and need rest;

with LILY - you have a chance to achieve a high position in society;

with a BROOM - minor troubles and troubles (after all, brooms are made from tree branches);

with a FORK - if you make a choice, then make one that you can physically resist.

6 - Clouds (King of Clubs)

• 2263 views

King of Clubs - Clouds
Number. 6. Image. Clouds.
Basic meaning. A crisis. Impending trouble.
Reversed meaning.
There is a chance that the storm will pass by.

The Cloud Map does not yet directly speak of a crisis, but it clearly hints at its approach.

It darkens the mood of the Questioner, symbolizes troubles, ailments, and generally undesirable events.

However, we must remember that clouds are not always discharged by a thunderstorm; they can also be blown by. The cards surrounding them can clearly hint at this.

It is worth considering that a thunderstorm is not always a hurricane or tornado. Remember: “I love a thunderstorm in early May, when the first thunder of spring…”? During dry seasons, people are ready to pray to God for any thunderstorm. And in general, even a very scary outwardly thunderstorm washes away the dusty nature and brings relief. In a word, if a crisis is ripe, then there is no need to artificially prolong it; let a storm break out, an abscess break, then it will become clear who is worth what.

Considering that clouds can dissolve just as quickly as they gather, they can be considered a symbol of psychological impermanence.

The meaning of the card combination

You can notice that one of the clouds on this map is light, the other is dark. The CLOUD extends its unfavorable influence to cards adjacent to its dark side.

If the black clouds are turned towards the Questioner's card, the prospects are painful, especially in combination with the SHIP card. Some kind of discord, trouble, bad prospects, perhaps a quarrel or breakup awaits you. It will be hard and patience will be required.

Dark Cloud also has a negative effect on nearby cards.

If the bright side of the clouds is turned towards the Questioner's card, then this means a good omen. Even if a thunderstorm breaks out, it will not bring much harm and what happened will be for the better. Neighboring cards will tell you which side to expect the storm from if the CLOUDS card is nearby:

with HOUSE - a thunderstorm on the family front, noisy and heavy with precipitation;

with TREE - alarming symptoms of the disease should alert you;

with the SNAKE - as a result of intrigue, a crisis will occur that will unpleasantly hit everyone;

with a BOOK - either your studies will not go well, or problems will arise with the teacher;

with a RING - a thunderstorm will threaten your union (possibly family);

with LILY - you managed to anger the powers that be, beware of their anger;

with a LETTER - everything will start with bad news...

7 - Snake (Queen of Clubs)

• 2810 views

Queen of Clubs - Snake
Number. 7.
Image. Snake.
Basic meaning. Deception. Betrayal.
Reversed meaning. Quarrels, troubles, deceit.

Humanity, with the exception of rare herpetology specialists, has a sharply negative attitude towards reptiles in general and snakes in particular. The snake as a symbol is an enemy, an ill-wisher, in relation to whom one must be extremely careful. So in fortune telling using the Lenormand system, the appearance of this card is a serious warning. This card certainly symbolizes the betrayal and deception that hover around the Questioner. He must be extremely attentive in his affairs and conversations.

However, the snake, along with the cow and monkey, was the most revered animal in Ancient Egypt, China, and Greece. First of all, due to its ability to shed its skin (as a symbol of renewed life) and its proximity to water. The expression “wise, like a serpent” is well known.

And therefore, the inverted card suggests that you need to try to be wiser so as not to become a victim of an insidious intrigue.

The meaning of the card combination

Even when surrounded by the most favorable cards, the SNAKE card portends danger and intrigue. This is what it means when it appears next to the cards:

with the HORSEMAN - as a result of the news received, you may do the wrong thing;

with a COFFIN - your sick relative is threatened with a complication;

with HOME, carefully consider the nature of the serpentine influence in your own home, maybe you need to become a little more tolerant and the conflict will go away by itself;

with a BOOK - the forked tongue of a snake portends jealousy, deception and duplicity;

with a RING - a certain person will try to poison your union with the poison of her slander and flattery;

with a SCYTHE - be careful in everything you do;

with LILY - you have to use all your reason to oppose the Snake vested with power with a different development of events;

with a BROOM - a harbinger of painful events that will happen through no fault of yours, but it will not be in your power to avert them;

with a FORK - standing at a crossroads, you risk taking the wrong step; an ambush and betrayal will await you along the way;

with a HEART - besides everything else, the Snake also means a woman’s knowledge of life, so expect that you can fall victim to a woman’s intrigue.

8 - Coffin (9 diamonds)

• 3643 views

Nine Tambourine - Coffin
Number. 8.
Image. Coffin.
Basic meaning. Change. Transformation. Ending.
Reversed meaning. The troubles are over. The coffin is the “master of life,” as they believed in Ancient Egypt. This is an extremely unfavorable card, and in the Lenormand deck it means exactly what it means in everyday life, that is, someone’s illness, death or other serious problems. But not only problems of life and death are addressed in this image. When combined with unfavorable cards, the Coffin can symbolize loss of money and loss of wealth. At the same time, when this card appears, you should not dramatize the situation. Not only people die, but also ideas; after all, death is a natural process in life, and if your hopes die today, then they will certainly be revived to life tomorrow, but different.

At the same time, in combination with favorable cards, the Coffin card can mean a turning point in life, which was preceded by some kind of crisis.

The reversed Coffin card indicates that your sorrows are behind you and that an unpleasant period in your life is over.

The meaning of the card combination

If this card falls out during the reading, the fortuneteller must carefully study the neighboring cards: they will indicate where the danger is coming from and what its nature is.

WITH A BLANK - the closer the COFFIN is to the Questioner’s card, the more serious problems he will have to resolve;

with a RING - if marriage can be evil, divorce is always good;

with HEART - “return, return, return my broken heart”;

with PISCES - if problems arise with finances, do not say that you were not warned;

with GARDEN - friends will turn away from you, but first everyone will say a heartfelt word about you;

with the MOON - “don’t ask them for mercy and don’t cry at the Moon”;

with HORSEMAN - The questioner needs to take radical measures to prevent bad news;

with TREE - it is not without reason that they say that a cross for Christ was allegedly made from the wood of the heavenly Tree of Knowledge;

with HOME - sadness will settle in your home;

with the STARS - it’s time to leave all your wonderful dreams and turn to real life;

with a SNAKE - the intrigue of evil and envious people will put an end to your hopes;

with a BOOK - much knowledge increases sorrows;

with the RING - your union is on the verge of breaking, unless you take the most decisive measures to restore it;

with LILY - misunderstanding among management.

9 - Bouquet (Queen of Spades)

• 2708 views

Queen of Spades - Bouquet
Number. 9.
Image. Bouquet.
Basic meaning. Celebration. Festival. Nice company.
Inverted meaning. False feelings. Despite the terrible Pushkin Queen of Spades and the fact that with the light hand of the poet and in Russian gypsy fortune-telling this card is considered one of the worst, it does not hide anything terrible in the Lenormand deck. In the Drusbeck deck, this card depicts a bouquet of bright flowers and symbolizes happiness and joy. A very good card, especially for women, which means no more than what a bouquet of flowers means in a person’s life - a pleasant moment, fleeting joy, a sweet sign of attention... In a word, a trifle, but pleasant.

If a woman is telling fortunes, then she may soon be presented with some nice gift. The card predicts good luck for the Asker in daily affairs and success at work. However, the influence of this card is short-lived, just as the life of any bouquet is short-lived, and when inverted it generally indicates the withering of some relationships or the transience of successes and successes. With bad cards it can indicate a tinsel shine to which you pay too much attention.

The meaning of the card combination

Regardless of whether they are telling fortunes about a woman or a man, this card promises pleasant events in matters of the heart.

WITH BLANKA - intimate relationships can either begin between two people, or an existing relationship can receive a new impetus;

with the HORSEMAN - renewal associated with deep experience;

with a COFFIN -- since the beauty of a flower quickly fades, the combination of these cards is a symbol of temporality;

with TREE - this card indicates contemplation, the need to maintain stability;

with HOME - the need for reconciliation or extinguishing some long-standing domestic conflict;

with the STARS - it’s time to think about the future and outline new horizons for yourself; success awaits you in your new field;

with a SNAKE - your joy will be poisoned by the poison of spite;

with a BOOK - success in your studies (professional or ordinary) will please you;

with a RING - a solemnly concluded union or marriage will be celebrated magnificently;

with a SCYTHE - a bad omen, the holiday will be ruined;

with LILY - high-ranking officials will be present at the celebration;

with a LETTER - good news will come to you in ordinary business paper;

with GARDEN - success in social activities and recognition from other people;

with HEART - literally the name day of the heart.

10 - Scythe (Jack of Diamonds)

• 2638 views

Jack of Diamonds - Scythe
Number. 10.
Image. Scythe.
Basic meaning. Threat. Destruction. Danger.
Reversed meaning. An empty threat, the danger has passed.

In the art of the Renaissance, there were images of Father Time (the god Kronos - Saturn) - a naked winged figure who personified Time. Its most common attributes were a scythe or a sickle. So the Scythe card can be taken as a warning card, indicating that it is time to make important decisions.

At the same time, this is a very dangerous card, warning of the possibility of a fatal accident, injury, or accident. However, even great danger can be avoided with the help of good surrounding cards. Sometimes this card can mean a conflict, separation, termination of a relationship with a certain person. At the same time, the Scythe is not only a symbol of death, but also a symbol of birth, since it brings the end of life to the ear, the grain of which, in turn, provides food for a person.

Inverted, the card means that danger will pass by, or that time is up, or that you have no time left.

The meaning of the card combination

Even far from the BLANK CARD (the Questioner’s card), the SPIT card warns: now is not the time to take risks, trips should be postponed, it is advisable to avoid air travel for a while, and, in general, it’s time to take care of yourself;

With the HORSEMAN - - the end of a certain series of times (chain of events) has come;

WITH A COFFIN - a fatal misfortune in your environment;

WITH TREE - you must act decisively and take the bull by the horns;

WITH HOME - a tragic incident in the family;

With the STARS - - refer to the still ones

To the stars and you will see: they do nothing,

But everything is accomplished by them, and you must become like Heaven in everything;

WITH A FORK - the time has come to make some very important decision;

WITH OWLS - in spiritual terms, the appearance of this

cards can mean advice that you need to be wiser;

with the RING - the union is very problematic, if possible at all;

with LILY - the authorities will refuse you as soon as they cut you off;

with a BROOM - be a philosopher: since sorrows have fallen on you from both sides, then expect a third one;

with a LETTER - if you cannot help but respond to this letter, then respond with something very evasive and neutral so as not to aggravate the situation;

with a GARDEN - people won’t understand you, and it won’t make you feel any better, but at least speak out.

11 - Broom (Jack of Clubs)

• 2541 views

Jack of Clubs - Broom
Number. 11. Image. Broom.
Basic meaning. Anxiety. Problems. Failures.
Reversed meaning. Punishment. Discord.

Let the reader remember the symbol of the Russian oprichnina: a broom combined with a dog's head, and the immeasurable suffering that this movement brought to our people, and he will understand that Marie Lenormand had many reasons to give this symbol one of the worst cards in the deck. The broom is made from thin rods, which are called rods - a word long forgotten by us, but close to Lenormand’s contemporaries. In those days rods were used for punishment and flogging. This card may mean a possible (fair or not) punishment for the Questioner.

Although where there is punishment, there is judgment, so perhaps this card will help you separate the wheat from the chaff, that is, good from evil.

In any case, advise the Questioner to be extremely careful in the foreseeable future. There is a big risk of falling under the flywheel of fate. It is better not to enter into risky transactions in the near future and not to trust untrusted people. Now let's take a look at the surrounding cards and see who you can reach out to.

The meaning of the card combination

If the BROOM card appears next to the Questioner card, it may indicate some personal problems and drama. If not on the personal front, then on the production front, a change of order is possible, the arrival of new management, and finally some old unpleasant story will come to light (i.e., they will wash dirty linen in public) and as a result of this, someone may get it.

Next to a TREE, this card most likely means illness (for brooms are made from tree branches);

next to a BOUQUET speaks of the need to bring harmony into your life;

with a HORSEMAN - you will hear rumors about very alarming changes;

with a COFFIN - yes, trouble does not come alone, most likely it is a serious illness or death of a close relative;

with HOME - don’t even think about sharing your home problems with friends - the one who needs to know it least will certainly find out about them;

with STARS - this card will delay the fulfillment of your hopes for a long time;

with a SNAKE - in this case, the BROOM acts as a harbinger of the trials that you will have to endure due to the fault of a certain person;

with a BOOK - if you study, then there will be problems with teachers or with passing exams, if you teach, then with students;

with a RING - for a family man, complications on the personal front, for a single person - an unfavorable time for marriage;

with GARDEN - conflict with society.

12 - Owls (7 diamonds)

• 3025 views

Seven of Diamonds - Owls
Number. 12.
Image. Owls.
Basic meaning. Everyday problems. Studies. Cognition.
Reversed meaning: Envy and espionage.

In ancient Greece, the owl was associated with Athena - it could be found on the reverse side of coins containing the image of the goddess. Therefore, she became a symbol of wisdom, which Athena personifies. But in the Lenormand Owl deck, it is also a call to prudence.

If this card can mean difficulties or some problems in the life of the Questioner, then these difficulties are temporary, like night, and the problems are non-lethal, like fears when an owl hoots.

Even if things are not going well for the Questioner now, this card advises you not to give up, but to get down to business with enthusiasm, overcome the fear of the new and boldly continue your path. Neighboring cards provide information about what or who will be useful to you or will interfere with your path to happiness. The reversed card symbolizes the powerlessness of the mind and spies who spy on you.

The meaning of the card combination

Combinations of cards give a broad interpretation to this symbol:

with LILY - The questioner is threatened with acquiring a dubious reputation;

with the STARS - the reflections of the Questioner are by no means fruitless, they will help him better understand himself;

with TREE - it’s time for you to pay attention to your health;

with GARDEN - discomfort in society will lead you to alienation;

with MOUNTAIN - think three times before undertaking what you have in mind, since a smart person will not go uphill;

with the HORSEMAN - it’s time for you to look at your problems from a new, more correct point of view;

with HOME - obviously, the time has come to improve relations with your relatives;

with the SNAKE - misunderstanding of others, intrigues of envious people;

with a BOOK - - draw wisdom from book examples, but do not forget that this is, first of all, the fruit of the inventions of idle writers who did not have much happiness in their lives;

with the RING - show wisdom and insight, foresight and the ability to analyze on the eve of this union;

with a SCYTHE - - in the face of future trials, wisdom and stoicism are useful;

with LILY - intelligence and recognition of leadership;

with a BROOM - before making a decision, the Questioner needs to weigh the pros and cons.

13 - Child (Jack of Spades)

• 2405 views

Jack of Spades - Child
Number. 13.
Image. Child.
Basic meaning. Start. Confidence. A pleasant surprise.
Reversed meaning. Terrible child. Difficult start. Lots of problems.

This is the sweetest and most cloudless card, which most often simply means a child if they are telling fortunes about him or if he is involved in the fate of the Questioner. But at the same time, one should not lose sight of the symbolism of this card, and it symbolizes the embodiment of potential, future opportunities, simplicity and innocence. A child is both the beginning of a journey and wide-open roads in life.

Every child has something beautiful and sinless. Something pure and good is knocking on your life. These may be the first steps in some area, a fresh perception of life, but it may also mean a call to simplicity: “Be like children!” However, since a child is a weak and timid creature, the sprouts of this new undertaking can easily be suppressed and destroyed, so this undertaking will require the tutelage of the Questioner.

In general, this is a favorable card, unless it is reversed, because in this form it means humiliation and humility, the need to submit to elders.

The meaning of the card combination

For a woman, this card foreshadows the birth of a child (but not necessarily from the Questioner, but perhaps from a lady close to her), especially in the vicinity of the Stork or other favorable cards.

Combinations of the CHILD card with others:

with HEART - love is fraught with far-reaching consequences;

with a RING - there will be children in the marriage;

with RATS - bad friends or environment will have a bad influence on the child;

with the HORSEMAN - the appearance of something new in life, a successful start to a business, but a lot of time must still pass before its final completion;

with TREE - pregnancy, ambitions and new plans in business matters;

with HOME - you should pay close attention to the development of the child in your family environment;

with STARS - big plans related to the child’s personality;

with a SNAKE - excessive naivety and gullibility harm you;

with a BOOK - you need to pay close attention to your studies;

with a SCYTHE - clouds gathered over the child’s head; you should pay attention to his surroundings, find out whether he has fallen under the influence of the street;

with a LETTER - some news concerning the child will reach you;

with FORK - your child will soon be faced with a choice, help him make it or don’t interfere.

14 - Fox (9 clubs)

• 2567 views

Nine of Clubs - Fox
Number. 14.
Image. Fox.
Basic meaning. Deception. Deceit. Intrigue.
Reversed meaning. Disclosure of intrigue or affair (frivolous love adventure).

One of the cards that is traditionally considered unfavorable. The fox is a symbol of deceit and deception. Since the time of Aesop, the worst qualities have been attributed to her, so beware! They want to deceive you! Rob! Shit! It is known that, once in a chicken coop, a fox will not be satisfied with one chicken and will not resist the pleasure of strangling all the chickens.

So they want to harm you, perhaps even for little things, even without self-interest, out of pure meanness. Situations associated with this card are fraught with secrecy and intrigue. The asker must be prepared for all sorts of pitfalls.

Foxes have an excellent ability to wait. The questioner needs to look around: he can easily be lured into a trap.

At the same time, the fox has always acted as a symbol of lust and voluptuousness, so it is likely that some frivolous romantic adventure awaits the Questioner.

The meaning of the card combination

Look very carefully at the surrounding cards: they will tell you exactly who is trying to deceive you and how:

with a CHILD - someone’s inept flattery misleads you;

with GARDEN - The questioner is severely mistaken about the selflessness of his friends;

with KEY - The questioner can expect the deception to be exposed;

with TREE - this is a disease, a difficult to diagnose disease, a medical error;

with a DOG - “it’s better when a dog is a friend, worse when a friend is a dog.” The questioner will be cruelly struck by the betrayal of an old friend;

with a LETTER - beware, they may slip you fake documents.

with a BOOK - using a common book example, they will try to give you incorrect and very harmful advice;

with a LETTER - no matter how alarming the news that has reached you, they are false;

with LILY - beware of seeking out power structures; most likely, their representative is pursuing his own very selfish interests;

with the STARS - your dreams lead you to a dead end;

with HEART - alas, the object of your passion is far from sincerity and pursues selfish interests;

with the HORSEMAN - bad news flies faster than an arrow and strikes in the very heart, but good news usually gets there when it’s already too late;

with HOME - home theft.

15 - Stars (6 hearts)

• 2494 views

Six of Hearts - Stars
Number. 16.
Image. Stars.
Basic meaning. Dream.
Inspiration. Sublime plans.
Inverted meaning. Literally, “the sky has overturned” - unfavorable omens.

On the one hand, Stars are a universal, immense category, but on the other hand, each star creates a person’s destiny. No wonder they say “under a lucky star.” The questioner feels like he is on a horse, he is already close to success. This is the meaning of a directly drawn card.

In general, this card close to the Questioner’s card means that the Questioner has fallen into a certain rut of events. If this track is favorable (and the neighboring cards will show this), then the Stars foretell further success.

If problems lie in wait for the Questioner, then these problems will expand and multiply, literally according to the proverb: “Trouble comes, trouble leads, the poor thing drags you by the hand.”

Far from the Questioner's card, the Star card only says that in the depths of his soul he harbors certain dreams that, although feasible, are in some distant future. Otherwise, this card has little effect on the overall layout of events.

The meaning of the card combination

In the interpretation of this card, neighboring cards have a special meaning:

with a BOUQUET - soon you will need all your insight;

with PISCES - a good omen: an increase in the material well-being of the Questioner, good earnings, an increase in salary;

with a BOOK - your literary abilities will find a warm welcome;

with FOX - your false ideals and delusions will lead you to collapse;

with GARDEN - a wide circle of friends of the Questioner will show him universal respect;

with a RING - a successful agreement or a happy marriage will be concluded in the environment of the Questioner.

with a HORSEMAN - look above and to the left of the rider, it is quite possible that the news will be very favorable;

with a COFFIN - this is not a mourning card, but rather marks the beginning of some new relationship;

with a TREE - you are guaranteed good health if the TREE is not upside down;

with HOME - pay more attention to your family, your household needs it now;

with a SNAKE - a certain person, cunning and resourceful, is intriguing against you;

with a BOOK - only this book will tell you where to look for a way out of the situation. Determine for yourself what kind of book this is;

with a RING - a happy union, and for a long time.

15 - Bear (10 clubs)

• 3119 views

Ten of Clubs - Bear
Number. 15.
Image. Bear.
Basic meaning. Power. Force.
Reversed meaning. Weakness, powerlessness.

Before my eyes, a certain fortuneteller, having pulled out the Bear card before the last elections (in front of a television audience), quite definitely predicted the victory of the party in power. However, to do this, let’s face it, you shouldn’t have resorted to Lenormand cards, just as you shouldn’t have been smart. This is a true example of deceit and hypocrisy.

This card signifies strength, but clumsy and clumsy strength.

Being a large and strong animal, a bear can be dangerous to others. And although this card usually portends good luck, try not to irritate him. The card also encourages the Questioner to be more diplomatic with some strong and influential person (perhaps a jealous and domineering husband or a potential rival).

The reversed Bear card warns the Questioner that someone around him is sharpening a knife against him. Keep this in mind and take a closer look at your colleagues.

The meaning of the card combination

Close to the Questioner's card, the BEAR card indicates that he has an influential patron.

Surrounded by unfavorable cards may mean that you have been dealt a blow or have caused an unfavorable attitude from the powers that be. We must try to smooth out the situation.

But with favorable cards, the BEAR is good-natured and dignified - it’s time to ask your high-ranking patron for a favor or make a valuable proposal that can be considered positively. In various combinations, the BEAR portends:

with a BOUQUET - a generous gift will not hurt when communicating with your superiors;

with PISCES - major sponsorship and patronage are about to fall on you;

with a SCYTHE or a BROOM - they may do you a disservice - you don’t need it;

with HOME - influential parents can help you;

with TREE - cards promise you good health, which is the basis for longevity;

with a SNAKE - the one who tries to become your friend will expose you to attack at the slightest alarm;

with HORSEMAN - some influential structure has become interested in you;

with a COFFIN - - give up the thought of cooperation with those who offer you generous help;

with a BOOK - surround yourself with books and look there for the answer to your question;

with a RING - you have a chance to enter into an alliance either with a very influential person or with his relative.

17 - Stork (Queen of Hearts)

• 2641 views

Queen of Hearts - Stork
Number. 17.
Image. Stork.
Basic meaning. Changes are mostly favorable.
Reversed meaning. Unfavorable changes in the near future.

The stork is considered by many people to be the bird of happiness. It’s not for nothing that a rural house with storks on the roof is considered lucky. An ancient legend says that the stork takes care of the food of its elderly parents, and this makes it a symbol of the love of children for their parents. However, the Stork also symbolizes change, since it is a migratory bird. However, although it flies away in the fall, it returns every year.

This card, if it appears in an upright position, is one of the favorable ones and promises good news to the Questioner and symbolizes some important changes in life.

At the same time, the stork is also a symbol of prudence, vigilance, piety and chastity. So if this symbol appears upside down, then events will occur in the life of the Questioner that require maximum exertion of spiritual and moral strength. Of course, all this is true if the Stork card falls in close proximity to the form.

The meaning of the card combination

with a MAN - pregnancy of a woman from the inner circle of the Asker;

with a WOMAN - pregnancy (adjacent cards will tell you whether you want it or not);

with a CHILD - the birth of a child to a woman from the inner circle of the Questioner;

with STARS - favorable changes in the fate of the Questioner;

with a RING - a wedding involving pregnancy, or the appearance of a groom;

with TREE - cards portend longevity, a happy and peaceful old age, filial piety;

with a GARDEN - these cards foreshadow only friends who will come to stay;

with a LETTER - important news that will change all the plans of the Asker.

with a SNAKE - in Christianity, the stork is considered nothing less than a symbol of happiness. Mainly because it absorbs snakes, so this combination can be interpreted as the successful destruction of the intrigues of ill-wishers and victory over enemies;

with the SUN -- in northern countries, the regular returns of storks in the spring were interpreted as associated with the holiday of the Resurrection, so the combination of these two cards can be interpreted as a combination of happiness, health and prosperity;

with MOUNTAIN - the stork flies high above the mountains, vast expanses of land and sea, so this combination is also interpreted favorably. You will overcome obstacles by literally soaring above them.

18 - Dog (10 hearts)

• 3432 views

Ten of Hearts - Dog
Number. 18.
Image. Dog.
Basic meaning. Loyalty. Friendship. Responsiveness.
Reversed meaning. Unreliable friend.

Since ancient times, humanity has been friends with the dog tribe, which makes the dog a symbol of constancy, help and protection, especially for women and children. The main meaning of the card is protection, reliability, dedication, altruism.

The Dog card should be considered as a faithful friend or reliable partner on whom the Questioner can always rely. If the Dog card falls straight, then the Questioner has a true and lasting friendship. This card, by the way, can symbolize a successful outcome of a planned business.

Surrounded by unfavorable cards, the Dog cannot withstand prolonged pressure and gives up. In this case, we can predict that at the moment the Questioner is surrounded by unreliable friends and his success in his chosen enterprise is very doubtful. We advise him to be careful in communicating even with the most bosom friends, since there is someone in your environment who is abusing your gullibility.

The meaning of the card combination

Surrounded by favorable cards, the DOG card symbolizes good luck, the loyalty of an old friend.

WITH LILY - friendship with the powers that be, relationships within the family clan (“A dog, when in service, should be obeyed,” wrote Shakespeare);

with STARS or MOON - a dog barking at the stars or howling at the Moon is a symbol of envious people who slander in vain without attracting the attention of others, so that envious people persuade you in every way;

with a SNAKE - usually a dog is a companion of healers such as Aesculapius, and the snake is his animal; we interpret this combination to mean that friends will not leave you during your illness;

with the HEART - Plutarch says that dogs symbolize the “conservative, vigilant, philosophical principle in life”, in other words, the combination of these two cards is a call to vigilance;

with the SUN - there is nothing more passionate and more faithful than a DOG under the shining SUN: this symbol represents a passionate desire to serve and help, to be faithful and devoted to you;

with a HORSEMAN - help from afar or after some time;

with a COFFIN - a dog scratching its paw on the grave of its owner will not leave him even in the grave; this represents a person who is truly faithful, like a loving dog - the most faithful of all creatures created by God;

with a CROSS - dogs were also used in legends as animals warning of dangers invisible to humans.

19 - Tower (6 peak)

• 2564 views

Six of Spades - Tower

Image. Tower.

Basic meaning. Life path. Life style.

Reversed meaning.

Failure, destruction of plans.

Unlike the Arcana of Etteilla, in which the Tower card is the worst possible, the Six of Spades in the interpretation of Lenormand does not bode well. This card shows the result of some work you have done, be it a long-term scientific work or a commercial enterprise.

Surrounded by favorable cards, the Tower portends a good, strong position in society, good health, and prosperity.

However, the inverted Tower turns out to be a sad and even tragic symbol. It is not for nothing that the Tower of Babel acquired special symbolic meaning as a crazy enterprise, entailing disasters and mental turmoil.

If the Tower card is surrounded by unfavorable cards, it also changes its meaning dramatically. It can portend illness, financial failure, or collapse in family or personal life.

The meaning of the card combination

In combination with other cards:

with BLANKA - soon you will see the result of your efforts;

with a RING - your family life is threatened by a serious quarrel, a break is possible;

with a COFFIN - a threat to health lurks in a minor illness that you once did not attach importance to;

with MOUNTAIN - in overcoming the obstacles that arise, you have to rely only on yourself, on your margin of safety;

with CLOUDS - if they are turned on the light side, then it’s okay, just a light squall, if they are turned on the thunderous side, then expect a serious storm;

with the SNAKE - the cards located between the TOWER and SNAKE card concern the mother of the Questioner;

next to the SHIP - unsuccessful completion of some enterprise, trip, journey;

with the HORSEMAN - the news will force you to reconsider your attitude to a number of events;

with a COFFIN - an unfavorable omen, symbolizing the collapse of hopes;

with TREE - both favorable symbols foreshadow success in the intended enterprise;

with HOME - you are well protected, literally like behind a stone wall;

with the STARS - cards invite you to leave your usual way of life for a while and spend a few days in solitude and reflection;

with a SCYTHE - a sad omen.

20 - Garden (8 peak)

• 2529 views

Eight Peak - Garden
Number. 20.
Image. Garden.
Basic meaning. People. Society.
Reversed meaning. Hostile society.

The Eight of Peaks in the interpretation of Lenormand is also a very favorable card, but only in relation to celebrations, events and meetings with people.

At the same time, the garden is interpreted not just as a fenced area planted with trees and bushes, but as the Garden of Eden, which indicates the Creator, who placed the first person in a spatially designated, safe place. For Christians, a walled garden is a symbol of the Virgin Mary. In this place a person feels happy communicating with other people. This can symbolize an act of creativity, a favorite job, a hobby that is approved by others.

In other cases, the Garden card may foreshadow a great vacation, a picnic, or a trip to a resort.

You have an interesting meeting ahead, or a new friendship may begin. Close to the Questioner's card, the Garden card can also portend success in art or science, a period of inspiration for a creative person.

The meaning of the card combination

Although a person is unthinkable without society, life in society is fraught with loss of individuality, submission to the laws of public morality, and loss of identity.

But in general, a favorable SADA card is not always a sign of good things.

WITH RATS - Bad company awaits the questioner;

with the SNAKE - this is a warning symbol - beware of false friends;

with HOME - cards portend harmony in family life;

with SQUASH - an unexpected threat will interfere with the measured flow of your daily life;

with a BROOM - vanity bothers you;

with a HORSEMAN - unexpected news will bring you a pass to a very refined society;

with a COFFIN - you will have to visit the cemetery;

with a TREE - a completely harmonious pastime in the village will benefit you;

with the SHIP - an excellent trip, and no special problems;

with a BOOK - you should take up science that will distract you from disturbing thoughts;

with a RING - you should think about strengthening the planned union; now is the time for its conclusion;

with a SCYTHE - an unexpected threat hangs over your calm way of life;

with LILY - a meeting with a certain high-ranking official.

21 - Mountain (8 clubs)

• 2590 views

Eight of Clubs - Mountain
Number. 21. Image. Mountain.
Basic meaning. Let. Burden. Call.
Reversed meaning. Overcoming an obstacle, lifting a burden.

The symbolism of the mountain in the consciousness of mankind is deep and ambiguous. It is not without reason that in Japan, about 200,000 pilgrims climb to the top of Mount Fuji every year, or people make donations at the foot of the mountain in one of the many Shinto shrines. And not only in Japan, but also in Central Europe during early Christianity, churches or chapels were often built on mountain tops. People are sometimes unconsciously drawn to the mountains, despite the difficulties and dangers.

So the Asker should perceive the dropped Mountain card not only as an obstacle growing on a person’s path, but also as a certain life stage that he must overcome in order to become more perfect.

By the way, it’s not for nothing that there is a belief that giants sleep inside the mountains. Having overcome a mountain, a person becomes stronger, more courageous, he hardens and learns to overcome difficulties. Overcoming oneself and rising above oneself is the main meaning of the Mountain card.

The meaning of the card combination

The adjacent maps will give you a better understanding of the issues you need to address:

with a BOOK - either the Questioner or his loved ones will have to endure problems with their studies;

with a LETTER - the Asker will have some difficulties when completing official papers;

with GARDEN - The questioner will have to experience distance from his usual surroundings;

with LILY - there is a long way to go before you can get an appointment with a high-ranking official;

with the STARS - having overcome this stage in your life, you will approach very tempting peaks; far-reaching prospects will open up for you;

with the HEART - do not be confused by some difficulties on the way to the heart of your chosen one;

with TREE - a slight ailment can develop into a serious illness (adjacent cards will tell you how serious it will be);

with a HORSEMAN - the news will stun you, and you will understand how great the obstacles that have grown in your path are;

with HOME - you have to make some efforts so that peace and tranquility reigns in your home again;

with CLOUDS - being caught in a storm in the mountains is not easy. However, if the CLOUDS are turned towards you with the sunny side, then the hardships will quickly pass;

with a SNAKE - if you meet it on a mountain path, it is better to go around it than to try to drive it away.

22 - Fork (Queen of Diamonds)

• 2089 views

Queen of Diamonds - Fork
Number. 22.
Image. Fork.
Basic meaning. Choice. Decision-making.
Reversed meaning. No choice. Wrong decision.

This card, in our opinion, correlates with the VI Arcana of the classical Tarot (Beloved). The symbolism of the images is also similar. In the classic version, a young man is torn between earthly love and heavenly love in the depiction of two women - one base and the other sublime.

Thus, a situation arose before the Questioner in which he needed to choose some path for himself. There may be several options to choose from, and he is given different times to make a decision, but the risk of making a mistake in the choice is always present.

An inverted card indicates either a lack of choice or its meaninglessness: no matter what decision is made, the result will be basically the same. In addition, an inverted card warns of a wrong decision, which the Questioner has most likely already made subconsciously for himself.

Now let's look at the combinations of cards and decide which interpretation will be the most correct.

The meaning of the card combination

If there are unfavorable cards next to the FORM, it means that the Questioner risks choosing not the most successful option.

Before making such an important decision, take a look at the neighboring cards:

with PISCES - you will find an opportunity not only to escape danger, but also to get rich;

with STARS - do not take risks rashly, but listen carefully to all the arguments of both sides;

with HEART - if you make the wrong decision, this love triangle risks turning into a square;

with a GARDEN - be reasonable, and the situation itself will tell you a way out;

with a BROOM - approach the problem of choice with all responsibility and boldly move in the chosen direction;

with a LETTER - the letter received will mark the end of the next stage of life;

with a HORSEMAN - the messenger will bring you news that will influence the choice of decision;

with a COFFIN - no matter how you choose, there is still little fun in this whole situation;

with TREE - a lot depends on your decision, so don’t rush;

with HOME - think it over carefully, since your family may not approve of your choice;

with a RING - when choosing between union and loneliness, remember that in union your profits will decrease, but the likelihood of success will increase;

with LILY - your choice should be guided by the position of a certain high-ranking official.

23 - Rats (7 clubs)

• 2692 views

Seven of Clubs - Rats
Number. 23.
Image. Rats.
Basic meaning. A loss. Destruction. Loss.
Reversed meaning. Destruction of intrigues.

This card in the Lenormand deck warns of theft, loss or illness. Any appearance of this card in a layout should alert you and alert you to possible loss or theft. Something torments the Questioner and does not allow him to live in peace. In matters of health, this card can be a signal of stomach or digestive problems.

He may have problems in business matters. The person asking may well be robbed. Therefore, let him check again whether everything is in order with the locks, whether the water pipes require repair, whether he carries a wallet in the outer pocket of his bag, and once again look at the latest quarterly report of his accountant (just in case, under a plausible pretext, let him take he has the keys to the safe).

However, if the Rats fell upside down or next to favorable cards, then it will be possible to protect against the thief. If in direct form and next to the cards of the Coffin, Scythe, Broom, Snake, you need to prepare for the worst.

The meaning of the card combination

Rats are not alone in the layout, but they undoubtedly influence the overall course of the layout.

If RATS fell next to the CROSS, this may indicate that you will have to suffer due to the machinations of other people, your ill-wishers;

with a RING - envious people are trying to interfere with your union;

with PISCES - RATS can cause very large material damage to the Asker;

with HOUSE - very serious accidents in the household await you (beware of fires and floods);

with a SHIP - troubles on the trip, but a very serious danger on the trip will threaten if the ship is in an inverted position;

with a COFFIN - - troubles, serious illness or death of a relative;

with GARDEN - someone is turning others against you;

with OWL - you are suspected of something and are constantly being watched;

with the HEART - unjustified jealousy will destroy our feeling; resist your rash suspicion;

with a HORSEMAN - you will be alarmed by unpleasant news about a loss or robbery;

with TREE - undoubted harm can be caused to your health, so it is better to go on a diet for a while and not get carried away with catering delicacies.

24 - Heart (Jack of Hearts)

• 2440 views

Jack of Hearts - Heart
Number. 24.
Image. Heart.
Basic meaning. Love. Friendship. Happiness.
Reversed meaning. Cold. Indifference.

Remember the song: “Heart, you don’t want peace...” - and you will immediately understand what this card is telling you. As an organ that is indispensable in maintaining life and signaling in emergency situations by rapid beating, the heart in many ancient cultures was assigned a role that, from a rational point of view, is not inherent in it. Usually people with a cold mind are contrasted with people seething with passions. But for the Egyptians of the era of the pharaohs, the heart was simultaneously the seat of reason, will and feelings.

In the events represented by this card, the Questioner will experience emotional uplift or stress (depending on the forward or reverse position of the card).

Moreover, his faith in people will be tested. It was not for nothing that the Lord said to Samuel: “I do not see as a man sees; For man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart” (I Sam. 16:7). So the Heart is also a card that tests a person’s conscience.

The meaning of the card combination

It will be a great success if the Heart is located between card No. 28 MAN and No. 29 WOMAN. No wonder they say: “Those hearts fully satisfy desire in which love burns with one fire.” They will both have passionate feelings for each other.

WITH A BLANK CARD - you feel passion, but do they feel it for you?

with the Ring you will be shocked by strong feelings, and in the future you can expect a successful marriage;

with a HORSEMAN - news of a welcome guest will come to you;

with a CROSS or COFFIN - in many religions the heart is an emblem of truth, conscience and moral courage, so now is the time for you to show sincerity and frankness;

with TREE - the heart is a symbol of life. If the heart gets tired, the body dies, so you need to pay close attention to the state of your health;

with SQUASH - a serious emotional crisis. In some cases, it may indicate cardiac dysfunction;

with HOME - call your parents, they really need it now;

with the STARS - your heart soars in sky-high heights, but life will force you to turn to dust;

with a SNAKE - someone’s insidious intrigue will hit you in the heart;

with BOOK - “The theory is dry, my friend, but the tree of life is forever green.” Look around you, perhaps someone has been burning with passionate feelings for you for a long time, but you simply don’t notice it.

25 - Ring (Ace of Clubs)

• 5873 views

Ace of Clubs - Ring
Number. 25.
Image. Ring.
Basic meaning. Devotion. Marriage. Agreement.
Reversed meaning. The union is unequal, forced, or problematic.

The ring is a symbol of power, which comes from the use of a signet ring. This use was known back in ancient Greece. But it is also a symbol of the power entrusted to someone, since such a ring could be transferred to another person.

The ring also symbolizes union, as is the case in the rite of marriage.

When located near the blank card, this card speaks of a relationship in which we accept any obligations. Here the Questioner will need all his responsibility and seriousness.

If the Questioner is guessing about everyday affairs or business interests, then the Ring may mean concluding some kind of agreement based on trust and mutual sympathy. And if nearby cards do not contradict this, then successful partnerships.

If the card is turned upside down, the alliance is broken.

The meaning of the card combination

If a RING falls next to the Questioner's card, this is a good omen, there is a prospect of marriage or it is possible to awaken a feeling of love in the person of interest.

Surrounded by favorable cards, the RING portends a successful marriage or a profitable contract with reliable partners.

WITH A BOOK - some secrets or secret alliances;

with LILY - relationship with a high-ranking person;

with a LETTER - some important business documents; perhaps they will trust you;

with TREE - long-term friendly or business alliance;

with the SUN - a happy marriage is very likely;

with GROB lit. - “betrothed to illness”;

with a SCYTHE - something is ready to ruin your happiness;

with BROOM - breaking a contract, alliance, friendship;

with a SNAKE - intrigues are being woven against you or people are gossiping about you;

with a FORK - you should think hard before making a decision;

with CLOUDS - depending on which side of the CLOUDS “shines” on the RING - light or dark - and you can determine whether the union will be successful or not.

26 - Book (10 diamonds)

• 2393 views

Ten of Diamonds - Book
Number. 26.
Image. Book.
Basic meaning. Open book. Teaching. Cognition.
Reversed meaning. Closed book. Secret.

A book is a symbol of learning and literary activity, but this object symbolizes not only the process of learning, learning new things, but can mean an important discovery, a difficult riddle, one of the secrets of existence into which the Questioner has to penetrate.

On the Book card, which appears next to the Questioner card, you should focus and look for the hidden meaning of this symbol, which can be interpreted very widely.

The appearance of this card in a reading indicates the need to learn something new. A book can mean the revelation of a certain secret, a secret hitherto hidden from you, as well as the need to study some material or science. An inverted card symbolizes a closed book, and this speaks of some possibilities that you have not realized.

A closed (upside down) Book symbolizes a matter or object that is inaccessible to you, a heart that is deaf to your prayers, and a lack of hope. In any case, the Questioner should think carefully about this card.

The meaning of the card combination

WITH THE GARDEN - in vain you show your learning in a society that does not understand and does not appreciate it;

with a SHIP - stop theorizing, it’s time to set off on your own and check if this is really so;

with FOX - false theories will bring you even more trouble the more diligently you understand them, so it’s better to throw these thoughts out of your head;

with a FORK - standing at a crossroads, turn to the BOOK for advice;

with a CROSS - there is a closed BOOK in front of you - open it and read it before judging;

with the HORSEMAN - hurry up now to study Go, which may remain unknown to you;

with a TREE - this secret is shrouded in darkness and will not be known to you;

with the STARS - Paracelsus preferred reading the “book of nature” to theoretical calculations, so it’s time for you to move from theory to practice;

with HOME - the news you receive does not contain anything particularly important, but still

without meaning, cards do not fall out;

with LILY - literary studies will attract the attention of the powers that be to us;

with a COFFIN - studying this subject will bring dark thoughts to us (no more);

with the SNAKE - you will learn the price of deceit and betrayal;

27 - Letter (Seven of Spades)

• 2200 views

Seven of Spades - Letter
Number. 27.
Image. Letter.
Basic meaning. Official documents, notices, maybe a diploma or an agreement.
Reversed meaning. Unpleasant, disturbing documents that require investigation.

The card symbolizes all paper official affairs. Maybe it's a contract that you need to sign, or a notice from the court that some kind of charge has been brought against you. The closer you are to the form card, the more important this document is to you.

The letter lying on the table is sealed, and it is quite difficult to interpret the symbolism of this image; one must rely on the context, i.e., on the surrounding cards.

This symbol can definitely be interpreted as an unfavorable omen only if the card is upside down or adjacent to cards of the Coffin, Cross, Broom, etc.

At the same time, next to the favorable cards, the Letter turns out to be that long-awaited paper that puts an end to a long-drawn-out story, for the resolution of which some official paper was missing. For people on trial, this may be a court verdict or order.

The meaning of the card combination

If the LETTER is surrounded by CLOUDS, bad news should be expected;

with a RING - perhaps an offer to enter into a marriage or other alliance will soon follow;

with a COFFIN - sad news;

with HEART - a dear friend will send you long-awaited news;

with TREE - no news yet: neither good nor bad; waiting stresses you out;

with TOWER - official notification of some event;

with a HOUSE - there will be an opportunity to make some kind of transaction on the real estate market;

with a HORSEMAN - you may be handed an official document by courier;

with a SNAKE - you will read with amazement a slander composed by some spiteful critic;

with LILY - a denunciation or anonymous letter will shock a certain high-ranking official;

with SQUASH - after reading this paper, you will understand that it will change a lot in your life very dramatically;

with a BROOM - a sad omen of future troubles;

with FORK - this letter will put you before a painful choice;

with GARDEN - this letter can poison your relationships with loved ones for a long time;

with HEART - you will hear from a person who worries your heart;

with the SUN - this paper will make you happy and become significant in your life;

with CLOUDS - depending on the position of the clouds (gloomy or sunny), you can assess whether the content of the letter will be favorable or not.

28 - Man (Ace of Hearts)

• 2224 views

Man (Ace of Hearts)
28
A neutral card, subject to the meanings of surrounding cards.

Description: Male querent, partner, friend, spouse, beloved man, lover, boss. Also denotes a father, brother, colleague, a person who plays an important role in the life of the querent. Head of the family, homeowner.

The Ace of Hearts is a personal card for a man or young man. This is the central card in the layout; the interpretation of surrounding cards begins with it. The Ace of Hearts is a card of happiness. This is the ultimate triumph. The Ace of Hearts expresses the activity of a man and a woman: in the pursuit of love, passion, fulfillment of heart desires. The Ace of Hearts denotes great authority in society and is a symbol of the highest goal that everyone can achieve for themselves. This card expresses joy at success that has finally arrived. Now there is enough time to fulfill personal desires; the future will now never be lost sight of. A man's behavior demonstrates his pride and dignity. Surrounded by positive cards, a Man means satisfaction, joy - both in emotional matters and - depending on the surrounding cards - in professional and social matters. Surrounded by negative cards, it brings anxiety, obstacles, and sadness.

The card may not necessarily represent a loved one, but also a man who simply plays an important role in this situation. It doesn’t matter whether we are talking about the favorable intervention of government officials, a teacher or a colleague, but it is the card that shows the person to whom we can be grateful for his work and efforts, and whether his work will have a result will be shown by the surrounding cards.

If a woman has not had a relationship with anyone for a long time, then the Man in her scenario can mean the love that will come, the man who will enter her life. If we consider the non-personal meaning of this card, then the Man in the layout can mean something like the male part of the woman, often means that the Woman is the master of the situation. Or there is something masculine in her, for example, her property, property, power.

If a woman is divorced, then her ex-husband can be designated through Bear or Clouds. If she still has feelings for her ex-husband, then the Man card could mean her husband. The three cards above the Man's head indicate what the Man is thinking about, his desires, hopes, intentions and, depending on the cards, may indicate his fears. In principle, the card (as well as the Ace of Hearts, which lies at the core) brings happiness, which, however, can be negatively affected by neighboring cards. All men's problems that can be asked about can be addressed through this card. However, the card also touches on issues of pride, and possibly arrogance. In addition, the card also shows male abilities. Taken separately, it gives a vague answer.

Key words: Questioner, partner or spouse of the questioner, man with whom there is a love affair, Yang energy, phallus. The period of creation and implementation of something new, the time of “distribution” of information. In everyday terms - a meeting with a man or events associated with him (events are indicated by neighboring symbols).

29 - Woman (Ace of Spades)

• 3779 views

A neutral card that obeys nearby cards.

Description: Querent, partner. For a male querent it means his wife or girlfriend, always a friend of his heart. For a married man who is in love with another, it can mean his beloved. A beloved woman, a sincere friend or an influential ally. In a negative sense: a selfish, treacherous, arrogant woman. It all depends on its position in the chart.

The Ace of Spades is a personal card for Women. It is the central card in the layout when it comes to predictions for a woman. The interpretation begins with this card and you need to pay attention to what cards surround it. The Ace of Spades means happiness, and it is the happiness that crowns a relationship. Love here goes far beyond passion. In a partnership or other close relationship, the unconscious, the soul, plays a significant role. The card means the feminine, feminine principle (also in a man). Means fertility in the broadest sense of the word, driven by a calm, deep force. A symbol of courage and inner perseverance. You can trust this lady with your most secret things without hesitation. She can be a confidant, an initiate, even a priestess. This is a person who, even despite successes, can silently withdraw. However, she never gives up her rights. She knows who she is and what she wants. She values ​​approval highly, but does not need to be openly celebrated.

Card number 29 in any layout means a female character; we can talk about a legal wife, a friend, a boss, a confidant or any other person. Among other things, it is a symbol of inner strength. In no case is it a card of shame and disgrace, which the meaning of the Ace of Spades may incline towards. This card is based on the legend of Europa, who was abducted by Jupiter in the form of the Bull. This card symbolizes all feminine qualities that can be asked about, just as we can talk about all intimate female problems, if the question was also asked about them. Like the Man card, the Lady points to the querent if she is a Woman, or to a friend, sister, mother if the querent is male. It is very important to pay attention to the cards that are next to the Lady, because they show her thoughts, actions and intentions. Three cards horizontally above the Lady often indicate what she is thinking about, what she wants, what she hopes for. Depending on the cards, it can mean what the querent is afraid of.

In the scenario, a Woman may not necessarily mean a lady of the heart, and if there is no connection, then this may be a lady of dreams, dreams, an imaginary lady of the future (especially if there is a Ship - Storks - Moon - Lady nearby) - whether his dreams will come true, you have to look for the entire schedule as a whole. Or the Lady can mean what place women occupy in the querent’s life, what importance he attaches to them, his feminine ideal, or simply be some kind of woman who in a given situation plays an important role for the querent. If the Woman’s card in the layout lies in the place of the Man, this may mean that in life she can stand up for herself alone. If she has a partner, this may mean that she has a strong influence on him. Lady with Lilies - this lady can be very elegant, even somewhat cold (especially if the Stars are nearby - in the sense of “Ice”) or probably also arrogant. But it can also be that the Woman is very attractive and bewitching, because... Lilies denote eroticism and excitement. If there is also a negative card here, then this can serve as a reason for excitement, but in the negative sense of the word. If next to the combination of Lady - Lilies - Stars lie the Horseman and Pisces, then this may no longer speak of arrogance, but mean that the woman has many lovers, and Pisces is simply responsible for prostitution - although in such cases the Anchor should be nearby - as a profession , or at least also the House Next to the Stars. The Lady in combination with the Tower and the Child (possibly the Snake, if it has no other meaning in the layout) can mean a mother who is raising a child alone. You can also add intuition to the characteristics of a Woman, which exactly corresponds to the sign of Cancer. In the book by Anna L. Briver it is written that the position of the personal card determines how much a person holds his life in his hands. If the PC (personal card) lies in the center of the layout, it means that a person holds his life in his hands, if the PC lies on the edge of the layout, then his life is still uncertain. If the PC lies on the edge of the layout and seems to be looking out from the layout, this means that the person wants to finish the old before starting to plan a new one, and that the person is now at the end of some life segment.

Next to favorable cards, a Woman is a symbol of love, happiness, success. Next to darker cards, it predicts unrest and clouds. If the Lady is located to the left of the Man, this indicates that both will come to an agreement, because look at each other. If on the right, they turn their backs to each other, which means there are contradictions and disagreement between them.

It can also mean social relations in a broad sense, an upcoming meeting.

Taken separately, it gives a vague answer.
If the Questioner gets this card, he can be considered lucky, since he will be in favor with persons vested with high powers, power, and wealth. It can also symbolize a new position, promotion, responsible appointment and, accordingly, all sorts of material benefits associated with this appointment. However, it is bad if this card is reversed or is surrounded by unfavorable cards.

31 - Sun (Ace of Diamonds)

Ace of Diamonds - Sun
Number. 31.
Image. Sun.
Basic meaning. Luck. Happy fate.
Reversed meaning. Revealing the secret. Cognition.

This card is one of the best in the deck (and not only in the Lenormand deck, but also in the classic Tarot). The Ace of Pentacles immediately turned any meaning of the alignment into the most favorable one. Etteila says that if the ancient Egyptians got the Ace of Pentacles in a reading, then they no longer guessed - they say, there is no greater happiness. This is a card of success, fame, winning, wealth, triumph. If you are sad, then you will rejoice; if you are sick, you will regain strength; if you are scolded, you will experience recognition. The questioner will have to go through a period of success, good health and an optimistic mood.

However, in symbolism, our daylight is also a symbol of the comprehension of truth, since in its light everything becomes clear. The inverted card speaks specifically about our insight and the discovery of some secrets, perhaps unwanted. The surrounding cards will tell you what exactly the luck (or insight) will be, but even being surrounded by unfavorable cards, the Sun softens their negative meaning.

The meaning of the card combination

THE SUN is a very favorable card, it reduces the negative impact of bad cards:

with the HORSEMAN - good news will change the routine course of your life;

with a COFFIN - luck or help will come, but later;

with TREE - if the Questioner is in a difficult situation, these cards can mean the help that will be provided to him;

with HOME - joy in the family and home will be shared by all your household members;

with STARS - rejoicing in connection with the achievement of some great goal;

with a SNAKE - they will try to poison your joy;

with a BOOK - the joy of knowledge, success in studies;

with a RING - an excellent combination of cards indicates a happy and prosperous union, marriage;

with a BROOM - the combination indicates that it is possible to achieve happiness in the future, but for now you will have to be patient;

with a SCYTHE - alas, your joy will be darkened;

with LILY - you will be treated kindly by management and government agencies;

with a LETTER - good news will illuminate your life with the light of hope;

with GARDEN - - achieving a high position in society, recognition from the people around you;

with HEART - joy on the personal front and serene development of the novel;

with CLOUDS - after a thunderstorm and bad weather, the Sun will soon appear again.

32 - Moon (8 of hearts)

• 2513 views

Eight of Hearts - Moon
Number- 32
Image- Moon
Basic meaning- changes, impermanence.
Reversed meaning- unfavorable changes, sadness and disappointment.

Despite the fact that in the Arcana of Etteila the Moon is one of the shadow, unfavorable cards, in the Lenormand deck everything is not so sad. After all, the Moon, passing through different phases, changes its shape.

The moon is a symbol of tradition, deep roots. If a person adheres to these principles in his affairs, then he is guaranteed the support and recognition of others (family or group of like-minded people). In a good environment - reward, recognition, respect from others. Hence the feeling of psychological comfort, calm, harmony.

The moon is most often interpreted as the feminine principle. First of all, due to its significance as a celestial body that passively receives light, and also due to the coincidence of the lunar month with women's periods.

However, in some cases, the appearance of this card may only mean a pause, a period of time no more than a month during which you should wait and do nothing.

The meaning of the card combination

In a bad environment it means lack of recognition of merit, indifference of others, and therefore discomfort, anxiety or depression.

WITH A CARD - FORM - fortune has temporarily turned away from you, but soon the light will shine again. The more the moon wanes, the closer it is to the full moon;

with the COFFIN - there are times when luck declines, but we should not despair, because, like the Moon, by the grace of God, whom we pray for help and protection, it will soon be full again;

with the CROSS - knowledgeable people compare Christ with the Sun, and the Church with the Moon, since it is the Church that takes upon itself all the splendor and beauty of Christ. From here we conclude: if your soul is uneasy, go to church and pray;

with the SUN - the Sun is solidity and constancy in judgment; The Moon is impermanence and lightness as a consequence of variability. “A wise man is constant like the Sun, but a foolish man is changeable like the Moon,” Ecclesiastes taught us;

with STARS - The moon and stars in symbolism are a weak and imperfect image of Divine glory and at the same time they are a powerful and full of strength image of Divine wisdom. Let this greet you to the thought that you are living in complete harmony with heaven;

with a CLOUD - the Moon is a symbol of variability or inconstancy, it seems to say: “I change all the time,” so the object of your passion will not be monogamous;

with a SNAKE - the danger of being exposed to magical forces or damage.
In the old days, having keys was important in family life. The wife wore a bunch of keys on her belt as a symbol of her position. She usually received them from the groom's mother when she moved into a new house. So the appearance of this card can also be considered an indication that the woman will feel like a complete mistress in the new house. However, the inverted Key encourages us not to try to penetrate into what is not given to us, since the discovery of a certain secret will harm you.

The meaning of the card combination

In different combinations, the cards change their meaning:

with a RING - if there is a female CARD BLANK nearby (or a woman asks) - this is a clear solution to love problems;

with HEART - if the Asker is a man, then he needs to look for the right approach to his passion; if a woman asks, her heart’s hunger will be satisfied;

with a BOOK - keep the secret as long and carefully as possible;

with ANCHOR - a solution has not yet been found, the decision is being postponed, or you are following the wrong path;

with the HORSEMAN - fulfillment of desires and hopes;

with FOX the call to remain truthful, you should not use cunning to achieve your goal;

with TREE - a solution to the problem will be found;

with HOME - the questioner will find (or has already found) a way out of the maze, solve his problem;

with the STARS - soon a new life will begin for you, full of new plans;

with the SNAKE - you will be able to reveal the secret plans of our ill-wishers;

with LILY - the key opens doors and gates, each task and problem has its own key, there is also a key to the person whose favor you now so need;

with a BROOM - an unfavorable moment for solving problems;

with a LETTER - be more decisive. If you have the key in your hands, then act without delay.

34 - Pisces (King of Diamonds)

• 2693 views

King Tambourine - Pisces
Number. 34.
Image. Fish.
Basic meaning. Income. Material goods. Luck.
Reversed meaning. Dubious profit.

Let's not forget that the first apostles were fishermen, and therefore for a very long time fish were a symbol of Christianity. There were times when believers were called ... (“fish”), the font was ... (literally “fish tank”).

In the Lenormand deck, this is one of the best cards, meaning that the hopes and plans of the Questioner will come true. In Mediterranean cultures, fish has always been, and still is, considered a symbol of happiness. In many ancient religions, fish are associated with the goddesses of love and fertility, so it is possible to predict success in the personal life of the Questioner. If his hopes and aspirations are connected with love, then he will be reciprocated; if he is busy with some hard work, then it will bring long-awaited results.

When reversed, this card loses much of its appeal. In the words of the preacher: “Man does not know his time just as fish do not know when they will be caught in a deadly net.”

The meaning of the card combination

WITH THE SUN - cards promise you prosperity and joy;

with OWLS - people are closely watching your luck and are happy to slander you;

with a COFFIN - an illness is expected, but not particularly severe;

with RATS - discomfort, quarrels over trifles, in short, we don’t keep what we have;

with a FORK - you will have to abandon your plans, most likely they will not be realized;

with CLOUDS - if they are turned on the bright side, then soon you will have a big catch, but if they are thunderous, then the profit will be small and associated with anxiety;

with the HORSEMAN - - good news will overtake you on the road;

with HOME - home joy, a holiday in the family;

with the STARS - your lofty plans tend to be fulfilled;
The anchor is an ancient early Christian symbol of hope that can be found in catacomb art and on coins. If this card appears in an upright position, it means that you must remain hopeful, show resilience against unfavorable developments of events and subsequently gain stability and calm.

This card is a symbol of trust and constancy, but at the same time static. If you are planning some bold and risky undertaking, then it’s time to pause it and wait for further developments. Now is not the time to take risks, because during a storm only a strong anchor can save ships.

If you travel, then return soon and find a calm haven in your homeland. Moreover, if you feel that a storm is about to break out (and it can break out both in financial and family life), then now is the time to look around and. look for an opportunity to drop anchor somewhere.

The meaning of the card combination

Next to the Questioner’s card, above it (in the position of the future), this card will invariably be favorable, regardless of the environment. This is also true for professional and business matters. Success awaits the asker.

If this card falls next to HOME, then it is very likely that you will change your place of residence or want to change it.

Near the RING - you have strong support and, most likely, will achieve your goal.

But look at the neighboring cards too. Being away from the blank card or in an inverted position, the ANCHOR card indicates the instability of your position.

You should be alerted by the proximity of the ANCHOR card or forms with the RATS card:

with RATS - - you are used to trusting people who do not deserve your trust;

with the HORSEMAN - the news that has arrived will strengthen or weaken your position (depending on whether the ANCHOR or HORSEMAN fell straight or inverted);

The cross is the most universal among simple symbolic signs, and is by no means limited to the sphere of Christianity. Along with the circle, it acts as a structural element of many meditation images in the building plans of ancient temples.

In the Christian religion, the cross was a symbol of suffering. Christian symbolism refers to the cruel instrument of Christ's execution, which, however, thanks to the Resurrection, became a symbol of eternal life. Topped with a circle or oval, it becomes the Egyptian cross of life (ankh), which is often depicted in the hands of gods or pharaohs. Therefore, this card cannot be unambiguously considered a symbol of suffering, because it, in turn, points to the path to getting rid of it.

Much worse is the inverted cross, which correlates with the Devil card (15th Arcana) of the classic Tarot, and the closer to the form this card appears, the more obvious and provocative this temptation will be.

The meaning of the card combination

Notice how this card is positioned in relation to the others:

with a RING - not all is well in the marriage;

with BLANKA - problems will arise with a loved one of the opposite sex;

with CLOUDS - indicates uncertainty in the implementation of certain important plans;

with the HEART - an affair or love relationship can be interrupted very soon;

with TREE - if you don’t think about your health, it will make itself known to you;

with the SNAKE - trials due to the deceit of a certain friend or companion;

with a COFFIN - difficult experiences associated with the death of a friend or relative (as an option: because of the damage caused to him, your case will also lose);

with a SHIP - you should not go on a sea or air journey;

with the HORSEMAN - the CROSS indicates to you some significant news that will deeply amaze you;

with HOME - events will happen in your home that will upset you, but will also teach you a lot;

with the STARS - your lofty aspirations will find a worthy embodiment;

with a BOOK - look for advice in spiritual and classical literature, only it will give you relaxation and enlightenment;

with a SCYTHE - a very likely case of a serious illness of a relative, and if it is not far from the form, then of the Questioner himself.

Fortune telling with the cards of Maria Lenormand allows you to lift the veil of secrecy and look into the future. In an effort to understand the plan of Fate, it is necessary to carefully study the combination of Lenormand cards in the layout. A correct interpretation will make it possible not only to predict turning events, but also to choose the best scenario for their development and determine the point of application of one’s efforts. This means emerging victorious from difficult life situations.

Interpretation of card combinations

The basis of interpretation is the simple and intuitive image of each card. In the Lenormand deck, the combination of symbols has an associative meaning. In order to bring the images of individual cards together and understand the information that the layout as a whole carries, You need to use three principles for constructing integral values:

Madame Lenormand's deck has positive, negative and neutral symbols. Keywords associated with their meaning allow you to read paired combinations and triads of cards.

Paired values

A short relationship breakdown will help you understand the current situation, see the roots and consequences of what is happening in the present. It can be successfully used to reveal the character and prospects of a love relationship. To do this, you need a correct decoding of the meanings of Lenormand cards in love layouts. Combinations are made from the values ​​of two symbols.

Happy Event

Pair combinations that foreshadow a happy event:

It is worth listening to such signs.

Favorable news

The appearance of the Horseman or Letter symbols in a reading paired with a favorable card predicts the receipt of a joyful message. The horseman is the “carrier of information.” The letter is associated with mystery and means that the message will come from afar. The contents of the news will be revealed by the adjacent card.:

Look carefully and do not mix up the cards.

Stable relationship

Paired combinations of cards indicating the stabilization of harmonious relationships:

• Home + Heart: happiness in the home, great love.
• Wood + Ring: strong relationships, fulfilled obligations.
• Heart + Anchor: Deep and secure feelings that may lack variety.
• Sun + Tower: strong bonds, stable relationships that bring joy.

Any of these pairs portends warmth and comfort in the house.

Losses, worsening situation

Paired combinations predicting losses, breakups, difficult circumstances in which no improvement is yet expected. There are two negative cards here or the unfavorable symbol is in the second position:

If, during fortune telling, a Snake, Fox, Fork, or Owl appears along with the Heart and Ring, you can expect deception or betrayal. This is a clear warning. If a Cross appears in the second position, this means that the current situation cannot be influenced. The decoding can be twofold: the relationship will cease to exist or the relationship cannot be broken.

Triple symbol combinations

To predict the development of love relationships, a large layout is used. The signifiers of partners are the cards Man and Woman. All other meanings of the Lenormand cards in the relationship layout are interpreted based on these key cards. The symbols that are between lovers make up triads. It is necessary to understand and describe the holistic image created by the three cards.

Diaries have been preserved with entries in which the most important triple combinations of Lenormand cards are recorded. The meanings and combinations in the layout indicate the feelings of each partner, external circumstances, the state and prospects for the development of their relationship.

A favorable development of events is foreshadowed by triads, which include positive and neutral cards:

Difficulties foreshadow combinations that contain one or two negative cards. They are especially unfavorable in the middle or end of the triad:

• Clouds, Ring, Moon: doubts, indecision, lack of dynamics. The union does not bring joy.
• Bouquet, Braid, Rats: a favorable card at the beginning of the triad indicates a gift from Fate that will not bring happiness.
• Broom, Rats, Anchor: constant conflicts and quarrels. The anchor at the end of the triad makes the relationship stable and grounded. No changes are in sight.
• Fox, Pisces, Cloud: guile, weakness of spirit. The positive Pisces card is sandwiched between symbols of lies and trouble.
• Heart, Clouds, Moon: heartfelt experiences, doubts, crisis. The Moon next to the Clouds means heavy forebodings that cannot be gotten rid of.
• Ring, Ship, Coffin: a quick severance of marital ties or that which binds people.
• Book, Cross, Mountain: obstacles are predetermined by Fate and inevitable. The triad does not show a way out of this situation.
• Key, Fork, Coffin: irretrievable loss. The key in the first position indicates an opportunity that was missed.
• Heart, Fork, Snake: love triangle. Portends heartache, insincerity, doubt. There is a third person in the relationship.

For love deals, 36 cards of the Lenormand deck are often used. Lizzie Black, a popular fortune teller, recommends using a deck of 52 symbols to study relationships in detail. This gives advantages when drawing up a long-term forecast showing the fate and nature of a love union.

Each Lenormand Mystic Oracle card has two images: the main symbol is placed in the center, and above it is an image of a playing card. While you are learning to tell fortunes, focus on the symbols depicted in the center. Later you will learn to understand and interpret the secret meaning of playing cards.

Lenormand fortune telling cards are always interpreted upright and never inverted, because each card initially has several meanings. Thus, the Child card can be interpreted as something new, for example, the birth of a child, the appearance of a young man, a naive view of things, immaturity, excessive gullibility or spontaneity.

Additionally, depending on the question you want answered, each card can represent a person, an object, a way of life, or an action. You will learn to determine each specific meaning based on the question posed once you remember the basic keywords and phrases associated with each card. It is they who will ultimately help you understand the essence of the layout.

For example, the Stork itself means change, and the Moon characterizes work or reputation. If these two cards come up together, then the second one usually describes the first one. Thus, their location in the reading affects the interpretation: Stork + Moon do not mean the same thing as Moon + Stork. If the Stork appears first in a reading, it influences the Moon card, the meaning of which becomes secondary: this combination can be interpreted as impending changes at work - perhaps career advancement. If the Moon appears first, the meaning of the Stork card becomes secondary, and this combination can be interpreted as a change of job or a change in reputation. The next additional card can show in which direction these changes will be - for the better or for the worse.

In the table below, in the “Name” column, the number and name of the Lenormand card, as well as the corresponding playing card, are indicated. The "Near" and "Far" columns indicate temporary values. If your key card is 1-2 cards away from the significator, select the “close” column; if she is at a distance of 3 or more from the significator, look at the “far” column. Also, each playing card has its own meaning to help you associate it with the image.

All combinations presented here are given only as examples of how cards can be combined, for a better understanding of how the cards work. In various scenarios, fortune-telling situations, and other issues, of course, the interpretations of such combinations can and will differ. These are not all possible combinations; this note is intended only as an example.

1. Rider. The main meaning of the Horseman card is news, news, and it is also a map of communications and movement.

In combinations, the Horseman card is very simple, for example, Clover + Horseman will show unexpected and pleasant news, and Horseman + Rats will show news of a loss. These are very obvious card combinations.

Mountain + Key + Horseman, and similar combinations - will show a solution to the problem, thanks to the communication skills of the questioner. There is a problem, it is solved, thanks to the Horseman.

And Broom + Horseman + Mountain will show the harsh words that led to the problem.

An interesting combination of House + Horseman + Broom can show that dirty laundry is being taken out of the house. There is a house, from the House - the Horseman gallops from left to right, then the broom goes, like disputes and conflicts, which the Horseman carries outside the house.

1. Clover. The main meaning of the card is pleasant surprises, surprise, joy, transience.

And in combinations, the Clover card has the property of reducing and simplifying the meanings of adjacent cards. If these are negative cards, then Clover can reduce the negativity; if these are positive cards, then make them simpler or more fleeting.

But, it is important to take into account the position of the Clover card in the layout and those cards with which it is combined. For example, the combination of Anchor + Owls + Clover is empty talk at work, and when combined with two negatively colored cards, for example, Clover + Rats + Mountain, it is obvious that Clover no longer has enough “power” to reduce both cards. As a result, this combination is interpreted as follows: troubles appear unexpectedly and lead to big problems.

1. Ship. The main meanings of the card are transport, road and change.

The ship is movement, but the combination Horseman + Ship + Stars can only show conversations about the trip; the combination is closed by the Star card, which speaks only of plans or dreams, but not actions. It turns out that they are talking about the trip (Horseman), but are not going anywhere yet. And the arrangement of the Stars + Horseman + Ship cards can already show the fulfillment of the dream of traveling.

And the combination of Broom + Ship + Anchor can show the bustle before the trip, in this case the Anchor that comes after the Ship shows that the Ship has not yet left the Anchor. And the combination of Anchor + Ship + Broom can already show a nervous business trip.

Ship + Mountain - may show problems with transport or interference with departure. And Mountain + Ship – crossing the border.

1. House. The main meaning of the card is family, place of residence, stability, protection.

Basically, the House card shows events that happen in a person’s home or family. What events exactly will be shown by the maps surrounding the House. For example, Broom + House – conflicts in the house. A, Rats + Tree + House – health problems for relatives. Scythe + House – breakdowns or destruction in the house.

An interesting combination, Stars + House - can show that a person limits himself with too much ambition.

An important aspect of the House card in layouts for personal life for single people is due to the fact that the House itself will not show that a person will suddenly start living with someone for no reason at all, first the cards must show acquaintance, the appearance of a partner, and then cohabitation. For example, the combination House + Clouds + Anchor will not show unexpected cohabitation, because there is no such event as meeting or the appearance of a man, but the combination Horseman + Heart + House will show acquaintance and love that lead to cohabitation.

1. Tree. The main meaning of the card is health, experience and gender.

Basically, the Tree in layouts speaks of events that are related to health. Obviously, Clouds + Tree in the event scenario will show a cold.

In combinations, the Tree will fix lighter cards, increase the power of positive cards, negative cards will spoil the Tree, the Scythe will cut down, Anchor + Scythe + Tree, constant scandals destroy the family. Rats will chew, Rats + Tree serious health problems.

1. Clouds. The main meaning of the card is emotions, troubles, instability.

Clouds in combination with bright cards will show strong tears, strong emotions, for example Rats + Clouds, these are strong experiences, strong disappointments, serious fears. In combination with more durable cards, Clouds can show what a person has been going through for a long time, for example, Cross + Clouds.

The combination of Mountain + Clouds + Moon can show the emotional inflating of the problem, the emotional inflating of the problem. Clouds + Fox + Owls can show great imagination in terms of coming up with problems for themselves. Stars + Clouds, in a relationship scenario - disappointment in your expectations for your partner. Clouds + Stars + Broom in the partner’s position in a relationship scenario can show nitpicking over little things.
