It's alright. I do health readings mostly for myself and my parents, so the Ship's yet to come up in a reading under that association. You're very welcome. Back when the Cabinet Course was done (2012-2013 I guess?) I was in first grade so I wouldn't have had any idea as a kid, lol. Definitely happy to see the blog back so I could learn more. Thanks again, especially for the combo. I'll note that down!

Yeah, I agree. I think the things that were mentioned in the Philippe sheet or that are in the name itself - the actual human heart - are read pretty consistently by most. Meanwhile other parts of the anatomy have that flexibility, or at least vary more depending on who you ask. I only read for people I don’t know in circles here, and I've never done a health reading where those were asked about or might have been a consideration, so I don’t know. but like you, Andy B's info is my go-to, and I'd look up anything I don't know there. Thanks for the blog link. I forgot that's back up. I still use my course notes from years ago. (On a side note, looking at that, I see that Whips + Coffin together could mean deaf.)

Wow, I just did not know there are so many different views on health associations. Good thing I asked! Yes yes. I have his book and he’s the #1 I follow. On his blog* though, he associates the Dog with “the nose and mouth, including the teeth and tongue”. He says further that “the card governs smell, taste, speech, oral health, and conditions affecting the upper respiratory passages”. So, overall I think that the cards can be very flexible regarding what we anatomically associate them with. This is actually making a lot of sense as well. I had never thought of the ship in that way before. My only question is that whether you read that along with the pancreas, spleen, etc associations, or is that another card for you altogether, like the Fish? True. And I agree that the Fox has always been one of those trickier cards (so true to its own nature!). I myself had occasions in which I struggled to see if it’s talking about the nose or something being wrong in general; I really had to squint. Thank you for the combinations and your reply, @Rose Lalonde ! I will definitely experiment with all the suggestions in my own practice and see what comes up. *https://thecartomante.com/2026/08/17/a-familiar-entourage-the-hound-card/
