Okay, how do you read those together?

Let's say we have Ship in the house of Ring. Does it mean it's a break-up, or is the Ring house more like an adjective to the Ship...

Hope I asked that right.

Usually you pick the example you did as this: Ring-Ship.... The house comes first, then the card that is laid in it!! lol... for this I'd read as some compromise with someone from another country!! Hahahaha!!! lol

I see it the other way around, so far. The house is the adjective. Why? Because the houses describe actions/they answer to "what". For example:

house of Rider: what is in the present, what comes rapidly/soon
Letter in the house of the Rider - a letter comes
Letter is "Ridered" lol
Letter + Rider

the house of the Scythe: what is cut?
Dog is cut, a friend
Dog + Scythe

maybe these examples are a bit ambiguous since both combos pretty much say the same thing

But if we consider Cross for instance, things are very different. Cross as a card intensifies the card after it but looses the importance (finishes) of the card before it.
Therefore, Mountain in the house of the Cross has an opp meaning compared to Cross in the house of the Mountain.

Mountain in the house of the cross: what ends, has a cross on it?
Mountain + Cross: the end of great obstacles, difficulties
the Mountain is "crossed" lol

Cross in the house of the Mountain: what are the difficulties, the challenges?
The Cross, so Cross + Mountain: serious difficulties
The Cross is like a Mountain


In your example, Ship in the house of the Ring: a foreign contract, partner, a perfected voyage
Ring in the house of the Ship, depending on the context, can also mean separation, moving away. But a foreign partner too.


This is how I see it for now.

What book did you learn this from LeeLoo? I've looked on the web and the site PetiteLenormand, or LearnLenormand.com is good but (and well maybe I just didn't read thoroughly enough) I can't find anything with specifics like this. Thanks!

I think the meaning of pairs is explained on lenormand.com - it's a bit different from the French version. I'm reading the French books now: Madame Lenormand and followers. But my main resource are the sites and message boards in my own language - it seems Lenormand is very popular in my country of origin, there's a strong tradition I didn't know about

Not everyone uses the view on houses as I explained, some use them in reverse; but the way I explained it seems logical to me at this point.
