Russian Meanings

Moon

Moon

Honour. Glory. Fame.

The moon changes its shape, going through different phases. Because of its
variability it has become a symbol of femininity, transformation, and
of development. This card has a dual meaning. One - a thirst for changes, pleasure and adventure. The other - the need to rest and reflect. Susceptibility, intuition and "burden of the past" (perhaps even from previous incarnations), requiring interpretation or processing. Advice to focus on meditation and finding yourself. This card encourages you to look into
your past to understand the causes behind what is happening now. Let your intuition guide you in this journey. The Moon path will inevitably lead to the sunlight.
In the spiritual sense - a successful transformation of abilities and experience, to
everyday level - public recognition. The moon is a symbol of tradition, deep roots. If people adhere to these principles, she guarantees support and recognition of others (family or groups).
In a positive environment means a reward, recognition, respect of others, hence the feeling of psychological comfort, tranquility and harmony.
In a negative environment - lack of recognition or merit, the indifference of others, and
therefore, discomfort, anxiety or depression.

with the Cross - strong influence of karmic ties with past life;
with the Sun or Stars - increasing sensitivity and mediumship;
with the House - dependence on the past;
with the Birds - mistrust, insecurity;
with the Clouds - excessive sensitivity, inadequate assessment of what is happening,
hysteria;

Key

Key

Good luck. New beginnings. Lucky Card.

The key opens a door, hence the meaning: you will find (or have already found) a way out of the maze, solved your problem, and you begin a new stage of life, full of new challenges. The need to find the right solution in the current situation, based on previous experience. Resolving this issue will help all your causes. "Key" issue.
The symbolic meaning of the Key results from his appointment to lock as well as unlock doors. This symbol is often used in fairy tales as a symbol of the veil of mystery.
This card advises to always remain true to yourself. The solution will be found. Be strong, if you hold the key, proceed without delay - this is the only sure way to achieve your goals.
In the psychoanalytic tradition, the key is associated with male eroticism - specific desire to open the doors, which in reality were not locked.
Surrounded by negative cards means that the querent hasn't found a solution yet and all
is delayed or that he went down the wrong path.

with the Heart - if the querent is male, then he needs to exercise caution with health; if the querent is woman, the card promises hearty wishes fulfilled;
with the Book - an important secret to be kept; you don't have the power to achieve what you wish for;
with the Roads - an important decision, the right choice.

Fish

Fish

The property. A short trip. Good profit.

Very good card, meaning that your hopes and wishes will become true beyond your expectations. The efforts you put and resources you invested will pay off handsomely, you
get everything you want, and more. Health and substantial welfare, if you take advantage of opportunities. Considerable success in a large number of enterprises.
Fish is also a symbol of water and, therefore, life, fertility, wealth and
spiritual food. She appears as a talisman, lucky charm, "smile of Destiny". We feel like "a fish in water". On deep psychological level, Fish can be interpreted as combination of the self and of water as a movement of the soul. New images and ideas emerge from the
depths of the subconscious. Good luck and success are possible in all areas
of life.
Fish is a symbol of good luck, prosperity, wealth, both on the spiritual and
on the physical plane. The man has something to share with others, he is not working
in vain. This card can be a symbol of a completion too, the successful completion of an
initiative. In practical terms - the catch, production and reward.
However, in a bad environment says your plans are utopian or that you've trusted the wrong people.

with the Birds or Clouds - you have to give up your plans, they are not achievable;
with the Coffin - a mental illness or severe financial hardship;
with the Mice - fatigue or "hunter returns without a catch."

Anchor

Anchor

Stability and security.

Anchor - the only guarantee of security for the ship in the sea and during a storm. It makes the Anchor a symbol of hope and prosperity.
In ancient images, especially those related to early Christianity, anchor reveals a close relationship with the symbols of the cross and the trident. It strenghtened people's faith in dark times. The upper part can be considered an image of a man standing upright and stretching his hands up, that is, to the sky. Part of a circle (the arc at the bottom) is the sign of the material world, the Earth, which again and again gives life to humans and animals. An ancient symbol of hope, especially in the field of human relations.
Your dreams will come true, says the card, because your relationships with others are built
on the solid foundation of loyalty and friendship.
This card is a symbol of trust and consistency. You want to find a quiet harbour. Security can be found in the family or in communication with a loved one. If this card is next to the house, probably change of residence.
You will achieve your goal. This map is always favorable, regardless of the environment. This is also true for professional and business issues. You will succeed.
Away from the significator and in an unfavorable environment, talks about the instability and impermanence of opinion but does not change its basic positive meaning.
You should be alert only whern the Mice is close by. These two cards together warn against stubborness which may bring losses. Remain flexible.

Cross

Cross

Suffering. Burden. Test.

The Cross represents a set of responsibilities and a set of values. The Cross appears to make you realize that this lesson must be learned, no matter how hard it is.
If you cross two lines - vertical, which represents the active
beginning and brings together the upper and lower worlds, and the horizontal, which
symbolizes passivity and represents the earth's surface and the water surface,
we obtain the simplest picture. Before us then is an image of a Cross, which has always symbolized the material world, the world of things. It is our Earth with four directions, formed by four elements. As far back as pre-Christian times, symbolism of the cross was a symbol of suffering, because materialism was the reason for all evil and the material world was harsh and cruel. The Cross is also associated with instruments of torture. A cross, decorated with flowers and leaves is transformed from a symbol of suffering into the trunk of the tree of life, the personification of the eternal growth of spring, Easter Sunday.
All contradictions are united in the mystery of the cross. Vertical and horizontal unites earth and heaven. This means that the cross is a bridge between two worlds, between human existence and chain of incarnations. This is a card of karma, fate card. Look for a creative way around and be prepared to accept the challenge. You are facing a test. This card is always a bad omen, regardless of its location. A difficult card which means: everyone has his own cross, his own misfortune or problem. This problem may already be behind you or perhaps still to come. Can mean suffering and deprivation that we knowingly accept for the sake of higher goals. Purification through pain.

with the Clouds - an important plan is still going nowhere;
with the Heart - a relationship ends;
with the Tree - you need to pay more attention to your health.

I haven't edited, translated on the go and got a bit tired, so apologies for any typos or misused words.

Thank you so much Ronia for your time and effort you are so helpful

No prob. But I'm glad those are over. LOL

Just a quick question, when you say with, does this mean its coming after the card or before?

e.g Letter with Ring is marriage proposal
Ring with Letter is formalized relationship

so which one is Letter +Ring and which one is Ring + Letter?

Thank you again

As it is written. You know in Lenormand the placement makes a difference. So, the meaning of the combo is effective as it is written not the other way around. If it is in the Letter section then it's Letter+Ring, if it's in the Ring section, it's Ring+Letter.
