Well, in order to set aside my thoughts on the whole eviction issue (can't do anything until the 14th anyway, except for being a nice girl and pay the landlady as much rent as I still owe her and gathering information about housing, costs, etc... ) I've been spending time reaquainting myself with my long-unused Lenormand cards.

Now since a couple of days ago, I seem to be drawing the exact same thing over and over again. The cards pretty much say something of a contract being not good for me (which I at first assumed was the lease contract for the apartment or the agreement we would come to in court) but today that "contract" theme seemed to be in combination with "a child" - which I assume is my son. And indeed, ongoing as well is a family court situation between myself and my ex over my son, because my ex had refused to pay his child support (which also landed me in the situation with my landlady - so they're all kind of connected).


I can imagine why I would draw those cards anyway. But what does strike me is something else. I am not entirely sure how well aquainted anyone here is with Lenormand cards (but I absolutely love them! ) Every time I drew my cards in a spread which basically read my past and future, my near future would predict a new relationship. It has done so a few times, every time in a different way:

- The first time over, the cards suggested a man in the future, a romantic interest whom I shouldn't trust. That annoyed me for at least two reason which I will go into detail about later on. Now I can understand the cards' desire to warn me about cheating or misleading men, seeing my kind of negative track record in that area...

Now, seeing as the cards did suggest it in the future, I supposed it was not the guy I'm somewhat involved with (a relationship it is not) at the moment.

- Every time I drew the card of the man, the foxes were always very close by, always on the man's side. But, up until now, the man has always been situated in the future, and other surrounding cards always seem to suggest he's a keeper.

- Today I did a spread to give me a big overview of my current situation, which placed the man close to my personal card (the woman, of course) and even with the ring in combination, suggesting that I would be in a relationship at the moment!!! Even stranger, it came with the combination of the child as well! And the heart, and a few other positive cards.

That kind of had me confused, because essentially, I'm not even in a relationship, so why would that spread suggest it?

- Back to the last spread, which showed a similar tendency to the others I've done so far: a contract that will end up being positive for me after all in combination with my son, and in the future, again... a man, true love, deceit and a break-up.


Seriously, how many times can cards rub it in? Now, coming to what I said earlier, WHY this annoys me, is because first of all: I know the cards can't be talking about the man I'm involved with now. He does not want a relationship and I'm tempted to blow him of if he does change his mind because I'm annoyed enough as it is being played with for long enough. If he tells me now he does want a relationship, he had better be damn sure and had better NEVER even think about betraying me, because if I have to open up emotionally to him now, I'll be twice as vulnerable as I already am!

Second, I've been told by readers up to three times now, from three different sources that there will be a GOOD man in my future. When someone says "GOOD", I understand: "someone who does NOT deceive, lie or cheat and someone who will make the relationship last forever." Maybe that's my Venus conjunct Mercury talking.

So WHY must my cards say that this future partner is going to cheat on me and/or deceive me? And who is right? My cards, or the three unrelated readers who have all foreseen a GOOD man?

ARGH!!! This is EXACTLY why I don't like doing cards for myself!

Can you show/tell me what spread you use and the positions of the cards you drew? And how exactly did you phrase the question? Let's see if I can help.

Thank you for replying, Deux, but I'm ashamed to say I never wrote it down.

I do tend not to, so as to not be influenced by the cards' positions. It's somewhat to my own detriment because it could help me become better at reading them

I can tell you that I use the most popular set of Lenormand cards, which are 36 in a deck, and I often lay them in 4 rows of 9 cards to predict past and future (with The Lady as my personal card, of course) or 4 rows of 8 cards and a bottom row of 4 cards, which I have been taught that this spread tells us more about current events and how important they are.

Usually I use the 36 card spread with 4x9 cards.

I am not sure how well aquainted you are with Lenormand cards, but what I do remember from the position of the cards was that every time I did the 4x9 spread, The Gentleman and The Foxes were always in the same row, The Gentleman being in the same row as The Lady, and The Foxes often above him. The Heart often appeared to the left of The Gentleman, and The Bouquet appeared either above it, or below it.

That is as much as I can remember, I'm ashamed to say

Aya do not use the cards as a disadvantage to yourself! I was once read by the same person twice in a short period of time and they were so different. I do not read cards so I really have no justification in saying this, but as a person who takes ALL things to HEART, don't read anything more than once. It will only lead to dependency.

For me, when I come to a tough decision I flip a coin. It is a silver quarter(1964) that has been in my pocket for many years. I put as much energy as I can into this coin and it gives back to me in times of need.

When the ANSWER that we seek is not met in the "cards" or "coins", whatever the object, it is not an insult but a warning.

The energy first displayed is the ultimate power working to help you. Anything there-after is only working against you. Trust whatever power you seek, it will guide you!

I have flipped many times because I didn't like the outcome. It didn't change the fact that the coin was right the first time.

I'm not trying to insult you. This is the way I was taught to acknowledge the world and the undertones of it's intelligence.

If it happens let it be and if it doesn't let it go. It is a very hard thing to do, but if you do, you will be happier for it!

Well, seeing current developments, it's pretty clear that at THAT time, it wasn't the current man in my life that the cards were talking about.

Since a few hours ago (I seriously suspect my Sagittarian planets are in it, or the fact that this man's planets are very likely to sextile mine) I've gotten over the idea that the "current" man (who is no longer "current" as of today) might be the cause of all this, despite the fact that I do feel betrayed.

I do believe my cards are only out to help me, and in effect, at least three people (consisting of at least Ami, my local psychic and Vicky - if she's still around) have predicted another man in my life and I seem to remember that Lexx did too.

Joe, don't worry about insulting me, at this time I'm ready for more than insults, I had a very empowering conversation with a man I know and if he's the one that is mentioned in my cards at least the lesson I've learned now is not to get too attached to people (which Ami and Lexx, and Coffee if he visits this thread, already know most about) so I'm sure my cards did good. Unless they were talking about this (current) man and they were telling me that he was going to make me feel betrayed - which has happened. But more about that tomorrow.

The man I had a talk with is a possible man for the future, the man I was talking about here was the present. But it could be that my cards foresaw it in the very near future as only a week ago they said that my man would betray me. Of course, turning the tables, it could mean he'd be betraying someone else to be with me, but only time will tell.

As I said: current man will have a talk with me, I can just hope I'll be honest with him about why he meant so much to me, and next man in line is another matter for tomorrow and as long as I keep my emotions at bay I should be fine. But where have we heard that before?


And really, Joe, you don't have to worry about insulting me. I take everything as advice and I never feel truly insulted! I do feel like my cards are warning me, and at best, I've decided that "current guy" really doesn't know what he wants but will get it in a few months' time, eventually. In the mean time I'll focus on "next" guy and see if he's worth giving my all to, if not the recent experience has numbed me regarding the possible outcomes - mostly thanks to my cards. I'm not hoping for anything, of course but if it happens I'll definitely take it in stride.
