When I do personal readings using the mindfulness divination technique, I analyze my cards and oracles in order to obtain a message highlighting a specific theme on which I might meditate. This guidance was produced with Lenormand to help you visualize my way of working; I invite you to read the analysis of the cards and associations to help you in your own drawings.

The theme that emerges today concerns the relationship between the essential nature of an individual and their integration into the different social and natural ecosystems of our planet. If you wish, you can enlarge the image of the print to observe the illustrations and do your own analysis; you can also make your own draw using the proposed theme as a source of inspiration.

 

 

THE GAME

When I carry out guidance with the Lenormand, I draw between 5 and 18 cards. For this spread, I used the Mlle. Lenormand Cartomancy Deck created by Piatnik, and I selected 9 cards, which I will analyze line by line then column by column to clearly highlight the guidance of the cards. I will begin by analyzing each card individually, relying on the illustrations provided and my intuition, in order to create a basis on which I will rely to synthesize the message.

 

 

ANALYSIS OF LINES

• The first row is made up of cards #13, 25 and 14.
  -The first card bears the number 13, and represents a child, I associate this card with youth, play, innocence and lightness.
  -The second card n°25, represents a ring, I do not dwell on the numbers in this analysis, but taking them into account can sometimes shed interesting light. The ring represents associations in the broad sense, whether romantic, family, professional or friendly. It is the card of the relationship with others and with oneself.
  -The third card No. 14, represents a fox, often perceived as a negative card, I like to think of the fox as a card of creative intelligence, which allows us to think outside the box in an innovative way. Here, it can also represent a state of voluntary isolation, calculated risk-taking or a return to our deep nature.

  

“Today, I find lightness in my relationships, because I am no longer afraid of being alone or being me. By detaching myself from the need to prove my worth, I find a taste for play and confidence that I need to accept myself as I am."

 

• The second line includes cards no. 36, 15 and 2.
  -The first card n°36, represents a cross and in this specific game a cross linked to the Catholic religion. This card therefore represents established rules, religious beliefs, faith and the relationship between the divine and matter.
  -The second card n°15, represents a bear, I like to see this card as the inner strength, the uncontrollable animal energy which pushes us to go beyond established rules to intuitively follow the influxes of our deep nature.
  -The third card No. 2, represents a clover, often associated with luck and opportunities, I like to analyze the clover as a young shoot that takes root, the capacity to create one's own luck and to take our responsibilities consciously.

“Here, I let go of established rules to follow my instinct, in order to create my own luck, off the beaten track.”

 

• The third line includes cards no. 9, 21 and 7.
  -The first card No. 9 represents a bouquet, which is most of the time analyzed as an offer, a gift, something beautiful, grace or even the blossoming of something.
  -The second card No. 21 represents a mountain, often called the mount. It represents something big, a solid anchor, slowness, heaviness, the foreigner, the borders and can be analyzed as the map of positive or negative personal limits.
  -The third card No. 7 represents a snake, which I like to analyze as the card of transformations, of movement, it is sometimes perceived as a card of conflicts, of turmoil, but I like to see the snake as a wise being, who can also refer to the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

“I graciously open myself to my true nature by honoring my fears and seeing them as tools to protect and affirm my deeper nature.”

See how the story slowly takes shape: 

By accepting my nature and enjoying my own presence, I discover that I no longer need to chase the approval of others to enjoy life. I thus rediscover the taste for play and the confidence necessary to act with honesty and sincerity in my life, following my instinct rather than fighting against it. I then discover that my fears are valid and that they help me protect my identity, by expressing my needs with honesty.

COLUMN ANALYSIS

If you have the information you need in your draw, you can complete your analysis in the previous step; However, if you want to go further, you can also analyze each column.

• The first column consists of cards no. 13, 36 and 9.
  You can rely on the analyzes carried out previously and move immediately to the synthesis. As part of this article I will recall the analyzes of each card.
  -The first card bears the number 13, and represents a child, I associate this card with youth, play, innocence and lightness.
  -The second card n°36, represents a cross and in this specific game a cross linked to the Catholic religion. This card therefore represents established rules, religious beliefs, faith and the relationship between the divine and matter.
  -The third card No. 9 represents a bouquet, which is most of the time analyzed as an offer, a gift, something beautiful, grace or even the blossoming of something.

  

“I know how to play innocently with the established rules to find grace and beauty in my life.”

 

• The second column consists of cards no. 25, 15 and 2.
  -The first card n°25, represents a ring, I do not dwell on the numbers in this analysis, but taking them into account can sometimes shed interesting light. The ring represents associations in the broad sense, tending to be romantic, family, professional or friendly. It is the card of the relationship with others and with oneself.
  -The second card No. 15, represents a bear, I like to see this card as the inner force, the anima, the uncontrollable animal energy that pushes us to go beyond established rules to intuitively follow the rules of our deep nature.
  -The third card No. 21 represents a mountain, often called the mount. It represents something big, a solid anchor, slowness, heaviness, the foreigner, the borders and can be analyzed as the map of positive or negative personal limits.

  

“I connect with my wild nature, which allows me to firmly anchor my truth in my life.”

 

• Finally, the third column is made up of cards no. 14, 2 and 7.
  -The first card No. 14, represents a fox, often perceived as a negative card, I like to think of the fox as a card of creative intelligence, which allows us to think outside the box in an innovative way. Here, it can also represent a state of voluntary isolation, calculated risk-taking or a return to our deep nature.
  -The second card No. 2, represents a clover, often associated with luck and opportunity, I like to analyze the clover as a young shoot that takes root, our ability to create our own luck and take our responsibility consciously.
  -The third card No. 7 represents a snake, which I like to analyze as the card of transformations, of movement, it is sometimes perceived as a card of conflicts, of turmoil, but I like to see the snake as a wise being, who can also refer to the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

  

“Here I am able to create the opportunity I need to assert and enforce my limits.”

 

SYNTHESIS

Now that the drawing is done, you can synthesize your different analyzes by simplifying the message to make it resonate more with your feelings. Here is the summary with which I end this draw:

By accepting my true nature and enjoying my life, I discover that I no longer need the approval of others to act with integrity, following my instincts with confidence. My fears are valid and help me protect my identity by expressing my needs honestly.

By adjusting the established rules to my needs, I am able to create a life that suits me, where the grace of my innocence blends with the strength of my wild nature. In this creative and living space, I know I am capable of creating the opportunities I need to assert my identity and defend my limits with flexibility.

 

UNDERSTANDING ASSOCIATIONS

When you draw, you can not only analyze the symbols on the cards but also what they inspire you; the snake for example, in Lenormand is considered to be a negative card of conflict and confrontation.

Today, this snake inspired me to affirm my personal limits and my deep nature, the image that came to me during the drawing is that of a fish which is told to cross the desert to have the right to dive into the water, the fish knows that it will die before reaching its goal and that other solutions are possible if it is able to assert its needs and take care of itself. him, without letting himself be influenced by others!

This is where the snake takes on a more positive form, that of self-affirmation and the wisdom to listen to one's deep needs, even if it doesn't fit the rules or expectations of others!

A beautiful meditation on the importance of listening to respecting our deep feelings in the face of adversity.
