While speaking with a friend, I thought it might be interesting to look at the Eclipse. On a whim, I asked “Should I read for the Sun or Moon first?”. It was of no matter to my friend so I choose the moon (being we’re both women). What happened next was very interesting.
I typically throw in lines of five. I am not sure why, but I like five. It’s not too many cards but not too few. When I threw my first line (because when I choose something specific, I will throw lines of five until the card I am seeking appears in a line) the first card out was the Sun. So I chuckled to myself because I was initially going to choose the Sun. I continued to throw my five cards and then started the next line. The first card of the second line? The Moon. The eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun.
Here is the full throw:
Because of the way that the cards came up, I decided to read it as layers. I am leaving out cards 1 & 5 because they are (to me) the eclipse. So, what will this energy bring?
Garden + Key : A gathering will certainly take place. This to me is a no-brainer. It could also be “Meetings are successful”.
Lily + Clouds : What I find interesting about these two cards are the two Kings. The Lily is the “Good” king – the lily is generally representative of family matters, harmony and social welfare. The Clouds – the “Bad” king are about setbacks and storminess – as a person this king is your “Grumpy” man. Think unpleasant Ex. What I dislike about this is that the Bad king sits on top of the Good king. So it appears that harmony will be disrupted. At least the clouds are a passing influence.
Ring + Dog : This makes me think “obligations will be kept” or a promise fulfilled. The clouds will still have an influence here – the dark side of the clouds face the dog. Good people may feel like they’re being dogged. Aggravation will come with the responsibilities to be kept.
Bear + Tree : There are a lot of ways to view this combination, but I see it as someone or something seeing a gradual increase of power or influence. The Bear is a very powerful animal and one which demands your attention and respect. The tree implys the growth here – slow and steady. A Maturation of sorts. Once the energy of the clouds dissipate, the energy of the Dog will take over so I see the growth and power to be more positive.
There’s also the strong possibility that there’s a message here for me personally as in two days time we will be traveling to a family reunion (garden + lily). There will most certainly be alcohol involved which makes the clouds + lily a funny combination (a family of social drinkers, which they are). It may be trying (clouds again) but in the end it appears that relationships will grow and strengthen (ring +dog & bear + tree).
Thoughts? :)
Today’s Lenormand draw:
Bear – Snake – Letter – Clover – Rider
My previous throws all had a message that was repeated. The first was family, the second was removed obstacles. Today, it appears to be a fortunate message or lucky communication. Here’s how we break it down:
Bear + snake is more than likely a business woman, the bear is about official people and possesions. It can refer to other things (the bear+the lily usually refers to the law or a lawyer) but more often than not these are the references.
Snake + letter tells me the message will be from this woman. Apparently (according to the snake+clover) she is a rather fortunate individual herself.
Next, we have the letter+clover or “message fortunate” followed by clover+rider “fortunate message”. Finally, we have the bear+rider “official message”.
When I look at the bottom of the deck, there were the Stars. So, the message could bring some clarity, it could be about an idea or it could be about a new start. I’ll have to wait and see, but whatever it is, it appears to be purely positive and that is always welcome in my house, lol…
I have to say I am perplexed about the repetition in the message (I personally think my guide has a fantastic sense of humor), but I do appreciate it – it makes it much easier for me to decide (because in some cases the letter can mean something superficial and the clover can mean “fleeting” or short term influence) what the cards are trying to tell me. Perhaps I am just that thick? None the less, it does give me a good laugh so I’ll enjoy this hiccuping while it lasts… 
I have:
Bear – Paths – Ring – Sun – House
Bear generally means an official, though the bear can have a lot of other meanings. Since the bear’s partner is the house, it makes me think a real estate agent but the bear is also coupled with the paths, so it could simply be a decision about a house (viewing the house as a possesion using the bear). There’s also a decision to be made regarding a relationship or contract (paths + ring) and there’s good fortune around this (sun). Whatever it is it will bring luck to the house (sun + house).
This is a very straightforward reading. Sadly I know of no one who’s buying a home, lol… I guess I’ll have to wait and see. I looked at the bottom of the deck and my card was the dog so it is probably a friend, possibly male.
Tada!
Update: It (very ironically) turns out that one of the people in our IT department who was trying to help me today (9/19) mentioned during casual conversation that he and his future wife are house hunting. They had made an offer on a home they liked and expected to hear back today. Going with your first impression tends to give you a correct answer in life, and cards are no different. It’s also important to recognize that different people read the same cards to mean different things! That doesn’t mean one way is better than another – it’s quite the contrary! When we shut ourselves off to suggestions and advice from others, we essentially shut off the learning process, and that’s the bad thing!
I decided to return to the Lenormand today and my usual five card spread.
We have the scythe in an interesting position. The scythe generally is a “danger” card, but it also has a positive aspect. You may note that it is resting on what appears to be bundles of wheat. The wheat has been harvested by the scythe, so this card isn’t always negative. I initally wondered if our trip was going to be cancelled, but given that the cards are aspected more along the lines of business (the fish is generally a money card, the ship can also pertain to business and not simply travel and the bear also can be representative of a business man or official person) I would think it is more in that realm.
Since the fish card is behind the scythe (the sharp pointed end is facing away) it is possible that either we will have a sudden financial windfall or that money troubles are behind us. The scythe + ship could indicate sudden travel, or a sudden business decision. The bear and scythe could be telling me that someone’s boss is not safe or their position is in jeopardy. Combine the ship and bear, and we have another potential financial windfall suggestion, or possibly a large business dealing. The bear + cross indicates an important man or wealthy man. I’m not really clear on the fish and the cross combination, it makes me think of money going to or coming from a religious institution. I guess I’ll have to wait and see what comes of this.
I checked the bottom of the deck, just because I was curious and lo and behold, there was the coffin once again.
