Lenormand meanings and combos - from French sources

Ronia

I'll put here notes which are taken from French sources. They are often different from what I've found on English websites. Not so different from Russian and sometimes different from Treppner. Hope it helps. One card per post.

Rider/Horseman

Nine of hearts. It is of course a card that brings you a message. The news is good or bad? It all depends on what surrounds it. The rider can also represent someone who is on the road, who comes to you: along with the card of the Heart, it can mean the human heart that comes to you. If the rider accompanies the couple (both personal cards next to each other) that may mean that you are proposed marriage. This card can also be a sign of a visit or a meeting. In summary, if the surroundings of the Cavalier did not give it a negative nuance, this card is favorable. May also represent a foreigner.

Associations:

Cavalier+Lily = a man of foreign origin, from distance

Clouds

King of Clubs
The Clouds card indicates a delicate situation, a temporary problem. We must take precautions says this card. At any time the storm may burst, but it is true that a cloud is followed by decreasing disturbance - "after the rain comes sunshine." In all cases the presence of this card is a warning to be cautious and wise as the King of Clubs, prepared for any eventuality. This card can represent a man as he is a king. It describes a restless, bubbling personality but also someone who is on the defensive side. Mind lost in the clouds, not seeing clearly. Can also represent a man past certain age, an older man.

The symbols of this card are: treachery, lies, insecurity, jealousy, betrayal often from a person that you appreciate. Betrayal in the personal affairs or emotional deception, the presence of an extramarital relationship, the desire to harm.
These are the people who try to harm you. This card is always an indication of greater distrust of those around you, it must be taken with caution.
These are also the people you attract into your own trap using your charm, looks or fine words (serpent of Eve's speech seduced Adam).

Ronia

Coffin

Nine of Diamonds
It is clearly a negative card, depending on the surrounding cards is to determine in what area the Coffin will strike. THe card announces the end of something but it can be the end of a difficult situation. This is something that will end anyway but it also starts something new. The card may signify a significant financial loss, breach, the departure of a loved one, a failure, a disease. If the surrounding cards are favorable, they will mitigate the negative effect of the Coffin and promise a renaissance after the pain, a new path. The card must be understood as a serious warning and as a test which we can always outgrow. It is naturally the card signifying physical death but for this it must be accompanied by other negative cards and the question must be strictly asking for health or disease outcome/advice. Do not!!! take any combos with negative cards as sign of death in general readings as the chance to be wrong is very high.

Associations:
Coffin+Fox = retirement. If the Lily is added to the trio, the retirement will be with great honours.
