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.
