Ship lenormand card meaning
The Ship card features a sailboat on an ocean. It characterises departure and adventure. The card’s meaning therefore utilises these keywords.
The Ship is card number three, and may have long term time indications associated with that number, such as three months or three years. The astrological associations with the card are those of Jupiter and Sagittarius, both symbolic of adventure and movement. The Ship has associations with other cartomancy systems, such as tarot and the standard 52 playing card deck. It denotes the ten of spades, which is indicative of endings. In the round, this is a positive card, but movement and endings can be either positive or negative depending on the cards that surround it.
The anchor lenormand card combinations shown below are read from left to right. In most cases the focus card of the Anchor is read as a noun, and the paired card is read as an adjective (or sometimes a verb) which is what gives meaning to the Anchor card. Read together they provide a little sentence that is used in a reading. In this post we give an example of how to read the combinations. The more cards we add, the more nouns, verbs and adjectives we build into our sentences, which will create more sophisticated lenormand card combinations. However, let’s not over complicate things.
