Welcome Back! Today we are talking about the Clover, one of my favorite cards to get in a reading!

The Clover is a very positive card, it brings success, happiness, and of course, good luck. It brightens any reading it is in, and, depending on the surrounding cards, can lessen the blow of more negative cards.

This is a card that can also be position reliant. Some cards meanings change depending on where they fall in a reading. For instance, Coffin is a negative card. If you got Coffin-Clover, it could mean some success after an ending, or your problems will be short lived. However, if you get Clover-Coffin, your luck may be ending. So keep this in mind in a reading!

I find that Clover is similar to the Wheel of Fortune, in the most positive light of course. This card usually comes to let you know that things will start to work in your favor.

Let's talk a little about card combining.

Lenormand is always read together with other cards. You rarely read a card by itself. There are many ways to read the cards, but let's focus on a popular way. This is a method I use almost exclusively when I am JUST reading two cards. Three or more and I switch it up.

Typically the first card of the pair is the subject, and the second card is the Verb describing it. For example like I said with Coffin. If I had Coffin-Clover, I could interpret it as new beginnings, as the Coffin typically represents endings. But if I had Clover-Coffin, I could read it as an ending to my happiness.

 

How do YOU read the Clover card? :)

[DaughterofDanu]

I read Clover as something small, short lasting, lucky or positive, and happening by chance (As in finding a lucky clover is a by chance thing). I like how you compared it to the Wheel of Fortune. I know it's not exactly the same at all, but it does help me to grasp those trickier cards as I'm much more comfortable and seasoned with tarot cards than I am lenormand. I can't wait to get to Sun/Moon/Stars because those cards are driving me nuts since my knee-jerk reaction is to read them as their tarot counterpart :)

I read it in all kinds of ways and it can and does depend on the card that flanks it 100%.  That goes for all cards of course.

 

So....

 

In a "negative way" although there are only 7 cards that are truly "negative" I do see "Clover" as an "Opportunist" or "Gambler" because it can be just that although cards like "Snake" and "Fox" next to it would back that up 150% depending on the question or what is being looked at.

 

(An Opportunist and Gambler can also be POSITIVE too).

 

Sometimes the cards as PAIRS are not always DIFFERENT in meaning as in "subject" and "verb".

 

E.g.  Heart + Snake/Snake + Heart are both "cheating".
