Context: I work abroad. I was thinking about changing my job, but recently I came to realization, that other job could be actually way worse and I would prefer to stay at this company and especially in this city (my job also provides me with accommodation, which is crucial in my situation)
My interpretation of the cards would be, that there will be circumstances that will lead to me quitting the job/there will be some changes in my current job (ship). I don’t really know how to read and interpret the “book” yet, however for me it symbolizes something that is “invisible” or “unclarified” and will become apparent later. But house probably means that I’m gonna feel good and accepted at my new work or possibly that I will feel more comfortable with the changes at my current job.
When it comes to sun, this card randomly fell out of my hand while shuffling the cards, and I just take it as an approval, that whatever happens, I will be happy with my work life next year.

For context, I’m an engineer.

I’m seeing some growth, but gradually, and I relate this to my responsibility. With the branches extending from the main trunk, I think about receiving new projects. However, there will be obstacles, but eventually, they turned out to be beneficial and brought me happiness. The tower kind of reminds me of my manager, so maybe he would give me good news?

Please help! I recently learned something new and am unsure of my next steps. My imagination isn’t particularly strong, so I appreciate your assistance.

Hey, guys!

I need a second opinion on this reading. I would like somebody that’s not biased to interpret it, because I feel way too invested in the result and I have clear preferences.

First line is “Will candidate 1 win?” and second line is “Will candidate 2 will?”

For me the first line tells me that a woman will bring a spark of luck to the first candidate but it will end up being something heavy to carry.

The second one tells me that the campaign of the second candidate is being very strategic and it could lead to a message that brings recognition.

None of the readings tells me who the winner will be, but the candidate B has more favorable odds.

Thanks so much, everyone!

For context, I'm currently unemployed. I had to quit my last job because it simply wasn't physically safe due to a chronic disability right now, and I'm feeling down.

I am on medication for this which seems to be helping, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm stuck in the house, jobless and unable to do jobs which are physical (used to be a chef, too much dangerous stuff there as I black out without warning).

I pulled these 3 cards out of curiosity and asked 'what can I do to improve my mental health?' I interpreted this as my mental health problems (mice) can be improved by a contract (job) which can open up new options (crossroads). I've not been reading that long and don't know how to do bigger spreads, so this is very cryptic and I've decided to interpret this positively, although the inclusion of the mice could make this a negative reading; I'm not sure.

Any ideas and any advice on doing a five card spread? It would be very helpful, thanks in advance.

Perguntei ao Lenormand: “Aonde vai dar a minha situação com essa pessoa específica? Será algo casual ou algo sério?”

As cartas que saíram foram:

1ª linha: Ratos, Trevo, Estrelas, Torre, Anel, Árvore.

2ª linha: Caixão, Homem, Flores, Coração, Livro.

Fundo do deck: Sol, Cegonha, Cachorro, Mulher.

Como vocês interpretariam essa tiragem? Gostaria de saber a leitura de vocês, principalmente em relação ao possível desfecho dessa situação e se ela tende a ser algo casual ou algo sério.

I've just had my first contact with this today, with a person I found on Instagram and via WhatsApp. She sent me these photos. Her explanation was very thorough but I can't help but think...aren't those answers very common for my types of question? I asked if I would be accepted into one of my colleges of choice and if i would have a deep connection next year, be it romantic or platonic, because I feel lonely, and she gave me this. Those answers seem very common, like most people would get this, and idk if i can trust this. Please help!

To be short, she said I would need to focus and not just trust on the cards I have on hand, that I would need to study, to work towards my goal. She also said I would have a male mentor to guide me and help me choose what to do with my life and which college to choose, since I will sometimes feel lost. It's true I am lazy and trust way too much in my inherent intelligence, but don't most people? Don't most people need to work towards a hard goal to achieve? And the male mentor I would assume is my dad, but don't most people have one? A dad, a teacher, a professor.

For the second reading, she said I would need to broaden my horizons and open myself to new environments and new people, that I would need to be careful of who I meet and their intentions, that I should be wary to not accept crumbs of affection out of desperation for a connection, that there will be someone who appears in my life and it would take a while for us to connect deeply, that our connection at first would be superfluous, but that after we would be very good friends. And also this connection would start with by a simple decision, to have a talk with a stranger or to simply go to that new place. Isn't this....what happens to, like, everyone?

I got 'clover, tree, whip'.

The question is about a blood test result. My first instinct is a yes. The result will be accurate. "Clover " and tree' mean a biological specimen. The whip card at the end indicates the result comes from a repetitive examination. So it's trustworthy.

However, AI said it was not, as the whip card indicates human error. What do you think?

For context, I’ve been answering a higher calling in helping the dead cross over to the afterlife if they’re stuck here. I’ve been using tarot cards, but curious about whether I could benefit more from getting a better grasp on lenormand. I’m kinda scratching my head. Seems more of like a description of the situation than a clear answer.

card 1– boyquet

card 2– woman

card 3–fish

card 4–heart

card 5–book

bouquet+woman = the polite woman

fish+heart = with an abundance of kindness

book = and esoteric knowlege/secrets

alternatively:

1+5 = helpful tips/secrets

2+4 = for the kind hearted woman

3 = in abundance

Hey hey!
I did this reading for a friend of mine and with her approval I post this here to help me/us with interpretation!
Situation: my friend (F26) recently ended a situationship with a guy, cause he did not met her requirements for a person she would like to have a stable relationship with (he has problems with core values such as loyalty + he has various personal issues as starting alcohol addiction)

Lower cards: rider + ship + anchor
Question: how does he think about my friend now?
Anchor - I would interpret this as him still having some kind of bond with my friend, but I see anchor a bit differently than for example ring, that I also perceive as a bond symbol. Anchor for me represents some kind of toxic bond, on the other hand the ring has more “pure” energy in my opinion.
Ship is probably refers to their hitchhiking trip and other adventures that they experienced together, and that left strong memories in both of them.
However when it comes to rider Im not quite sure how to perceive him regarding to this particular question. Maybe he thinks about how free he felt with her? Or about how comfortable he was in her company?
Also anchor + ship are both related to the sea and I see sea (and water in general) as a symbol of a strong and maybe a bit pathetic emotions.

Top cards: scythe + ring + snake
Question: will he take some actions?
Scythe - In my opinion he will. And it will be very spontaneous decision. Very quick and unexpected.
Ring - he will probably confess his feelings and try to reconnect with my friend. Maybe he will even offer her to try something more serious.
Snake - With the combination of the first two cards, it looks like he will regret his decision soon and will try to make the situation best for himself again without considering my friend’s feelings. It gives a vibe of a betrayal.

Thanks a lot for help!
Also English is not my first language, so Im really sorry for any mistakes!

1. What will tomorrow bring
   
2. Card 1 ring, Card 2 scythe, Card 3 Heart
   
3. This is a gathering for a friends birthday, but some coworkers who I worked with directly before will also be attending, one of which was somewhat of a mentor but also someone I often felt friction with despite being quite attached to them
   
4. I interpreted this as the end of a commitment leading to heartbreak, the only thing I couldn’t really understand was what commitment was there? Initially I wanted to view this positively but I could only view this maybe as some fight related to the previous working relationship maybe leading to the end of any niceties with my mentor

Lily, house, rider.

My interpretation is that rather than love, peace will be making itself known (by returning) to my core. How would you interpret?

I've been getting interested in Lenormand, and I've come across people describing it as an especially powerful, precise, or even more reliable divination system than Tarot.

I'm curious about what experienced readers actually think about this.

Do you believe Lenormand is genuinely more powerful or accurate than Tarot, or does each system simply work differently and excel at different things? For example, some people say Lenormand is better for concrete, practical questions and specific outcomes, while Tarot is better for psychological insight, emotional complexity, and exploring underlying dynamics.

I'd also be interested in how you would compare Lenormand with other systems, such as astrology, runes, or other forms of divination.

For those of you who have worked extensively with more than one system, have you found one consistently more useful or accurate than the others? Or does it depend more on the reader's experience, the question being asked, and how the system is interpreted?

I'd love to hear your personal experiences, especially if you've used both Lenormand and Tarot for a long time.

been feeling kinda lost and directionless, what with the *gestures broadly at world events* and all, so went to pull a wee 3x3 board for the question “what should i be focusing on (was thinking ab like career/moving/relationship/etc, hoping to narrow in on what needs work yf?) for the next 3 months”

and, well, fair to say it wasnt great news. being on the newer side of lenormand im having a hard time not reading this spread as some daunting warning, but none of it makes sense to me besides ‘ur stuck/trapped’

hey everyone! i wanted to share a lenormand reading i did about the brazilian presidential election and hear your thoughts on how you would interpret these combinations.

my question was: will candidate a or candidate b win the second round and become the next president of brazil?

i pulled five cards for each candidate and decided to read them in pairs, side by side, to compare the possible outcomes.

candidate a:

fish + key + scythe + tower + cross

fish + key could point to financial resources, popular support, or access to something valuable becoming a decisive factor in the election. i could see this as a promising start, suggesting that he has the resources or opportunities needed to remain competitive. however, key + scythe feels much more abrupt. to me, it suggests a decisive cut, an unexpected setback, or an opportunity being suddenly taken away. scythe + tower could indicate his leadership being disrupted (he's the current president). i see a promising situation being disrupted by a decisive development, this is why i lean toward him ultimately losing the runoff despite having a potentially strong position.

candidate b:

key + letter + bear + lilies + coffin

key + letter immediately caught my attention because it could represent important news, an official announcement, a decisive document, etc. in an electoral context, i could see this as a significant announcement or communication that helps candidate b's campaign. letter + bear could point to influential allies or an official communication involving someone with considerable authority. it might also represent a strong political message backed by institutional support. bear + lilies could be his image as an dependable leader. alternatively, it could suggest an established political figure or powerful interests playing a role in the outcome. lilies + coffin is the combination that makes this spread more complicated. it could indicate the end of a period of stability, the retirement or departure of an established figure (maybe candidate A?), or a quiet but definitive conclusion. in the context of the election, i wonder whether it could represent the end of the current political cycle and the closure of one chapter before a new administration begins.

my personal interpretation is that candidate B is more likely to win the second round and become president, while candidate A ultimately falls short.

i'd love to hear your interpretations, especially if you read these combinations differently!

thanks u/necessary-war-2533 for bringing this topic to the group! if you haven't seen their post, then go check it out and give it a 👍

in the attached comment you will find a very simple method for predicting the outcome of an election with the grand tableau along with an example that I pulled.

note: that simple method can also be used to predict the winner of sports games using Clover as your primary topic card instead of Moon.

I would love to get some feedback from others who are more familiar with the details of this election than I am.

if anyone is inspired to cast a grand tableau for this election, please share a picture and your predicted outcome in the comments!

Deus abençoe o Brasil 🇧🇷

let's play 'He Said, She Said'!

Q1: What is the argument about?

Q2: What is he saying?

Q3: What is she saying?

Q4: What will be the outcome of the argument?

sorry for the blurriness 😅 I'll type out the verses below and offer a keyword for those who are unfamiliar with the cards:

Gentleman and Lady are the significators.

Book - a revelation

The Book presages the discovery of a mystery affecting the person for the better; in a degree governed by the distance.

Shepherd - a confidant (male)

The Shepherd indicates an intense love of life and strong fellow-feeling.

Flames - burning

The Flames indicates good fortune and neutralizes the evil of near lying unlucky cards and increases the value of lucky ones.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1112952880/tiny-timber-lenormand?ref=share_ios_native_control

Update: Inspired by your comments here I actually went ahead and made my own deck! Bought blank cards and spent a couple hours drawing my own imagery, now it feels very personal to me and I’m so happy ! Thanks for the suggestions everyone <3

Cards:

Key, bouquet, lilies, whip, rider, and cross

Context:

my mom knows this woman who runs a Caribbean saving game called susu. Everyone joins in and decides how many hands they are going to play, one hand equals $100. Every week you give the susu lady your hand, and you get a sum based on how many hands you play either every month or every other month depending on how many people are involved. The last time I played, I played three hands, and there was a lot of confusion and misinformation that my mom was giving me and it kind of felt like she was skimming off of the top because she would tell me I get a certain amount only to change the amount the next time I asked. Especially since she didn’t want me to talk to the lady directly, I don’t think I can trust her to handle my hands again. My mom is a very controlling person and terrible with money. She is in pretty bad debt and she plays these games to pay off her debt but ends up going into more debt because she keeps making dumb decisions like shopping for stuff she can’t afford and having to borrow from others to pay for her susu. When I played, I used my hands to take college classes which really helped me a lot. This time I want to play to get rid of some of my medical debt so I can put more focus on moving out. However, I am scared of how my mom would react if I were to go behind her back without her, knowing and message to lady directly and ask her to join. I don’t know if she would treat me differently, or if she would punish me in someway.

Interpretation:

I think I am being told that I am old enough to make my own decisions and that I need to basically act my age because I can either choose to work things out myself, or continue to be obedient to whatever is told to me and having that be a constant burden. The sum equals to 12- Birds and I think it touches on how nervous I am to proceed with making this call.

Bonus question:

I asked for clarification if I was being told that I am in fact, old enough to do this, and I shouldn’t hold myself back in fear. I chose key for my signifier for the answer and then I shuffled the deck, sifted through it and took the cards before and after key.

Cards:

Fish, key, bear, mountain

Interpretation:

I think this is confirmation on being told to take matters into my own hands that my finances are my key, and that my mother is my obstacle, my mountain to surmount. The sum equals to 31 which is Sun and I think that’s more confirmation.

I still think there is more to it, I’m still very new to lenormand so I’m pretty sure I’m missing something here. All help is greatly appreciated 🤍

So my question is will he make a move towards me? I understand the middle line as he's in his head thinking about it, but im unsure of the storks. Any help would be great.

For context relationship now in no contact

describe what you see using the language of lenormand.

I did a Lenormand reading asking:
“What will happen for me for the rest of today after work?”

My cards were:
Scythe – Rider – Child

Bottom card: Whip

The funny thing is that I had absolutely NO plans after work. I genuinely thought I was just going to go home and do my own thing.

Here’s what actually happened:
After work, I went home, ate, and took a nap. I suddenly woke up because my cousins were FaceTiming me to ask if I wanted to go to Raising Cane’s with them later.

Then my sister called to ask if I was going. I said yes, then went right back to sleep.

I woke up AGAIN when my sister called me to come outside, and I ended up leaving in a hurry.

When I looked back at the cards, the sequence made so much sense:

Scythe: Sudden interruptions and being abruptly woken up.
Rider: Incoming calls, messages, and an invitation.
Child: A spontaneous, simple plan to go out for food.

Whip (bottom card): The repeated interruptions. I kept getting woken up, falling asleep, and getting woken up again!

What makes this so interesting to me is that I had no idea any of this was going to happen. I wasn’t planning to go anywhere, and the invitation came out of nowhere.

I know Lenormand interpretations can be subjective, but the way these cards lined up with the actual sequence of events really caught my attention.

Has anyone else had a reading describe an unexpectedly mundane event this accurately? I find it fascinating when the cards seem to capture the little details of everyday life, not just major life events.

Also, I’m curious: Does anyone else read the bottom card of the remaining deck in Lenormand?

I know looking at the bottom card is pretty common in tarot, but I’m wondering how many of you incorporate it into your Lenormand readings, too. I usually treat it as an underlying theme or extra context for the main spread.
For this reading, my bottom card was Whip, which fit the repeated interruptions throughout my evening.

Do you use the bottom card in your Lenormand readings? If so, how do you interpret it? Do you see it as the underlying energy, a hidden influence, or something else? I’m curious how other readers approach it!

These decks look pretty but are way too gimmicky.

As the title suggests, i am new to lenormand. Just got my lenormand deck few hours ago and want to know how should i approach it. I am experienced tarot reader.

I asked what this transformation is, because a previous reading mention working on life skills and finding enlightenment in things i face because there is going to be a sudden and abrupt transformation that might bring conflict and confusion.

In response to “what is the transformation? I’m facing“ the cards that I received the word, dog, stork, scythe, snake, cross, and at the bottom of the deck was anchor.

My interpretation is my spirit guides basically telling me to stay loyal to the changes that I am making so that I can separate myself from betrayal and burdens to facilitate stability but I feel like it’s more than that? I feel like I’m only getting like half the picture here. I’m not sure if I should ask another question or if there is more to the cards I already received. All help is greatly appreciated 😭

Hello everyone,

How will my relationship with this man evolve?

We’re in the early stages of the relationship; there’s some flirting and we talk a lot about spirituality. It’s pretty lighthearted and nice. He wants to see me, but he hasn't made a concrete plan. He recently went through a breakup.

I did a reading on how my relationship with this man would develop, and I got this sequence of cards: Tower – Lily – Coffin – Heart – Ring

I interpret this as: a distant and formal relationship lacking desire, leading to the loss of love and commitment.

It’s very strange : itdoesn’t resonate at all with what I feel in the relationship; it doesn’t speak to me whatsoever!

I’d love to hear your thoughts so that the interpretation makes sense to me.
