The new craze in Europe…Lenormand fortune telling cards!

Lenormand fortune telling cards were created by Mademoiselle Lenormand in 18 century France. They have become very popular because unlike Tarot they are not rooted in the spiritual or the occult. There are 36 cards in most Lenormand decks and they deal with realities of everyday life. They provide direct answers to situations in this material world. If you are stressed and anxious about something material, you can get quick answers that are precise and practical. Their symbols are also from everyday life like a Mountain, Garden, Book, Rider, etc.

Mademoiselle Lenormand who created these cards was the most famous clairvoyant of her times. She led an unusual and tumultuous life. Rebellious and bold, she was a fey child who made predictions that came true. And she was punished for them.

In Paris she heard of Etteilla Tarot cards but could not afford them. So, she started predicting with her playing cards and other materials like eggs, water, lamp, mirrors and coffee grounds. She was led to various alleyways of divination early in life, and met leading necromancers, magicians, Kabala practitioners, Tarot card readers, Cartomancers of the times. She wrote several books and made future predictions that were all correct.

She predicted World War I, space travel and air travel way ahead of their happening. She also predicted the French Revolution, fall of Louis the XVI, the beheading of Queen Marie Antoinette, rise of Napoleon, his marriage and his downfall.

She became a household name in France and UK. And ruled the salons and courts of both the countries. Imprisoned several times she dabbled in controversies until the very end.

Aries Aries

Aries This will be a wonderful quarter for you. You have drawn two of the most positive cards of the deck—Number 16, Star and Number 2, Clover, both of which indicate healing and happiness and good luck for resolving all issues that have been troubling you for the last few months. This is an excellent time to take the bold decisions that you have been postponing. Things will work out just right. Any thorny problems should be confronted head-on without any fear; you will get results that you want. At work something positive should emerge. If you need a raise, please ask for it. If an exciting project is around, please put your hat in the ring. You will gain in recognition and people will listen to you. It is very rarely that this kind of combination comes: so make the best of it.

Taurus Taurus

Your boss or senior colleagues will need to be handled with care. If you are trying to accomplish a goal, seek cooperation through gentle dialogue and avoid any confrontation or trying to prove a point. Keep your ego aside this quarter, or it will be crushed. The Bear represents powerful authority figures who have your future in their hands. Please be low-key this quarter. There could be deception and you could be taken for a ride. Be more alert and cautious. Examine each project/decision carefully and go over details again and again. If you remain strong and composed, you will be able to sail through.

Leo Leo

Leo You have drawn card Number 10, Scythe and card Number 4, House. Scythe is a card of suddenness and there could be an unexpected event. There could be a health issue in your family which could lead to an operation. You could also move out of your home and take up independent accommodation. It could also apply to your place of work where a sudden shift in your portfolio of work or responsibilities could change. You could get a transfer. In an extreme situation, you could suddenly resign and give up your job. The advice is not be impulsive. Please think the matter through and sleep over it before you take the plunge. Hold your emotions and let the cool drops of reason and patience guide your actions. It is a time to hold on to things and let this quarter pass without any confrontation at home or at work.

Virgo Virgo

VirgoYou have drawn cards Number 14, Fox and Number 9, Flowers. This combination could indicate a bit of insincerity in friendship, at work, or at home. Some sycophancy is possible; so, you need to be discerning and separate the chaff from the grain. The cards advise you not to judge things emotionally. Keep your emotions in check and use your critical faculty to get results. If you are alert, this could be a great advantage for you. Please keep your cards close to your chest and do not let anyone know your plans or ideas. You could establish some connection with old friends or colleagues which may open up new avenues.

Libra Libra

Libra You have drawn card Number 13, Child and card Number 14, Fox. This does not augur well for new beginnings. If you have a new job or a new department, you need to be cautious. Do not take anything for granted. Please go over all details personally, and do not depend on others. The card of Fox is cunning and manipulative: so, there could be some underhand game going on. Once you learn the ropes at work, things will be fine and you will do well. This is not a quarter to take risks or confront anyone over anything. Just put down your head and work quietly. Even in personal relationships, do not trust people easily or believe whatever they say. Pl cross-check before believing.

You do not have any option but to handle, resolve, and bring harmony to your family. At work, you may decide to leave your job and try new pastures. These are uncertain times, and the cards advise you to continue in your old job despite issues. This quarter keep your cool and cooperate with people around you. Please do not be reactive or confrontational.

Sagittarius Sagittarius

Sagittarius You have drawn card Number 6, Clouds and card Number 21, Mountains. These cards suggest taking a flexible approach to things. Stubbornness or resisting change will not get you anywhere. It will be good if you do not plan any travel this quarter. Your trip will run into snags and unnecessary problems. Whatever decisions need to be made, please do not procrastinate. Make those decisions after thinking them through. There are a lot of pending things which need to be cleared. Please be gentle with people and listen to contrary perspectives. If you are successful in doing this, a new chapter will open up for you. It is a time when tact is required in dealing with everything—be it work or family.

capricorn Capricorn

Please go through your contracts carefully and have tight clauses. It is possible that the contracts will not be honoured. Also, corporate promises may not be fulfilled. Please do not go by the spoken word; ensure that everything is in black and white and in watertight legal documents. Even in personal relationships, you might find yourself at the short end of the stick. You might get disillusioned and move out of a committed relationship.

Aquarius Aquarius

Pull yourself together and appreciate the safety and security that you have. Take care of your health and get all your investigations done. Take a break and go off on a holiday to come back refreshed. Please do not take any thorny decision this quarter. Just flow along with least resistance and wait for more conducive times.
