Learning to draw cards: the House

The Lenormand House card is probably one of the easiest to recognize. It simply designates the place where we live, where the consultant lives.

But make no mistake! Behind this clear symbolism, this card encompasses many areas, from family to headquarters, to security and comfort. To decipher its message, a subtle, nuanced approach is sometimes required during a draw.

As it concerns the home, our possessions and our loved ones, special care should be taken during the reading ☕️

Finally, like all Lenormand cards, it can be influenced in various ways by the other cards, and sometimes in a negative way. That's why I suggest you dig a little deeper into the foundations to feel all the subtleties surrounding this sanctuary.

Current situation

The House gives off a very positive aura, evoking a place where you feel protected and sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

Let's take a look at the French version of the Petit Jeu Lenormand cards. Here we see a charming two-storey mansion. Pastel hues ranging from yellow to green to pink suggest calm, serenity and tranquillity. Trees, synonymous with stability and strength, surround the house, seeming to embrace it. A perfectly manicured garden is crossed by a path that leads straight to the house. In the medallion, the King of Hearts plays a musical instrument. It's all very welcoming.

In the same way, other versions of Lenormand's game present us with cards featuring beautiful multi-storey buildings, villas where even the dust is chic, estates where the gardener has a doctorate in botany, residences where the dressing room is bigger than your old apartment. Palaces where even the cat has its own butler! 🐱

These illustrations are in fact much more than just drawings. They tell a story of stability and comfort. The walls, made of solid stone, evoke a timeless robustness, as if each block were imbued with ancient stories and well-kept secrets.

The houses look solid, in good condition, with perfectly maintained roofs. Every tile is in its place, every gutter ready to face the elements, symbolizing protection from the vagaries of life. The fences, firmly in place, add a touch of security and delimitation, as if protecting a precious treasure inside.

The warm atmosphere is reminiscent of a family home or bourgeois residence. It's easy to imagine children's laughter echoing through the corridors, convivial meals around a large wooden table, and evenings spent by the fireside. Every detail, from the curtains on the windows to the flowers in the garden, contributes to this impression of well-being and serenity.

So, you've got it? Is La Maison more familiar to you? Now that the stage is set, we can move on to the symbolic aspect and meaning of this card.

Home Sweet Home...

The House card represents this everyday life, with its ups and downs, its joys and sorrows. It's the place where you share precious moments with those you love, where laughter resonates as much as tears.

It's a shelter from the storms of life, a place where you can recharge your batteries and regain your strength. Whether it's to escape the stresses of everyday life, or to find yourself again after a difficult period, La Maison is always there, faithful and reassuring. When you return home after a long day, you'll find your cozy cocoon where every object has a story to tell, and every nook and cranny is imbued with memories.
