I've been practicing with
The Simple Lenormand but have no luck with daily 3-card readings. So, I'm doing weekly 3x3 readings and I wanted to share one I did last month that had a strong impact.
First, let me give you my correspondences for the cards. You probably notice that many of the cards are different from the traditional Lenormand. The Crown replaces Tower. It represents power and authority. The Scissors replace
Scythe. The Fist is Whip. The Handshake is an extra card. It seems to
come up for partnerships more frequently than Rings. Papers replace
Letter and appear when there is a decision that needs to be made. Wine replaces Garden.
I tend to read these in columns with a strong use of directional aspecting (using the directions the images face and how they interact with each other).
Here's what I wrote at the beginning of the week:
The first card is
Clouds and the final card is
Rider. This suggests
that this week may begin with confusion and disappointment and end with
progress or possibly a departure.
~ cutting through confusion and disappointment (
Scissors cutting
Clouds)
~ important documents (
Papers) related to work environment (
Wine).
Wine
is the card I use for Garden which represents groups or gatherings,
socializing and celebrating. It has been coming up as work environment
or work team in many readings.
~ fighting (
Fist) against authority (
Crown) in a work environment (
Wine)
~ an argument or disagreement (
Fist) takes center stage
~ taking a new direction (
Road)
~ meeting someone new (
Handshake)
~ the beginning (
Road) of a partnership or business deal (
Handshake)
~ celebrating (
Wine) progress or a departure (
Rider).
I see Rider in this position as a departure rather than visitor because he rides off of the spread.
~ I also get the impression from the cards in the right column
like Road that leads nowhere and the Rider who rides into nothing that
by the end of the week there may be uncertainty about where this new
direction will lead.
This is what actually happened:
I received documents. Employment forms were emailed to me.
I found out a co-worker will be leaving to take another job.
We did have cupcakes and cookies at work, not because the coworker was
leaving but for Valentine's Day.
The fight was unfortunately with my boyfriend (on Valentine's Day) and it was about issues
of power in the relationship. The disappointment was related to the
fight. Things ended on a bad note so there is much uncertainty about the
future of the relationship. I felt I had a tough decision (Papers) to make about the relationship.
However, everything with my boyfriend was reconciled (Handshake) pretty quickly. I also realized the
purpose of Scissors. I interpret it as saying No or a rejection. Over
dinner (Wine), I said No (Scissors) to a request which caused the fight
(Fist) which was kind of a power struggle (Crown). There were tears
(Clouds), but we made up (Handshake) by weekend's end.
