Today's cards were 8 of clubs and Queen of spades. In Lenormand cards, this is mountain modified by boquet.
I have heard from some readers of Lenormand that the second card modifies the first one. Others show that the first card "brings" the second. In other words -- Mountain/boquet would read endurance through the obstacles brings a gift. At the very least, the troubles would be softened by mountain being paired with boquet.
Using the second word as the cause of the first or influence or what feeds the first would cause me to think that Mountain (obstacles and hardships) are being caused by bestowing gifts or being generous. We were generous in our releasing the lien on a piece of property, but we were also lightening our own load, as the long-term solution would cost more time/money/energy than we are willing to give. I believe this is what the cards are saying. Our gift has affected the hardship in a positive way -- mountain then leads to boquet, as well as being responsive to it.
Lenormand cards are straightforward, but I am new at the readings. In this for less than a week, I have memorized images, basic meanings and numbers of the cards, as well as being well on my way to memorizing the playing cards associated with each Lenormand card. I do believe I could read "lenormand-style" with a regular deck on which I had not made notations of image or number.
I am spending no less than two hours a day on the cards at this point, making sure one of those hours is just before bed and the other as close to first thing in the morning as possible.
OTHER SOURCES:
I took the liberty of looking up the playing cards -- 8 of Clubs and Queen of Spades -- in other sources.
From Destiny cards (made popular by Robert Camp who found them in a book from 1893 by A member of the Order of the magi, Olney Richmond):
8 of Clubs is a card of mental power -- the ability to foucus your thoughts, mind and will on a goal or objective and see it through to successful conclusion. Usually applied to a mental or educational task, it bestows power to overcome problems by focusing your thoughts. Usually shows up in the cards when there is a need to learn to accomplish on the mental level. It is a fixed card (one of 3) that allows opportunity to fix our minds and wills on certain goals. (For the long-haul, success is assured if we hold our focus true).
Queen of Spades (from the same source) is a card of self-mastery. Sits in a place of high accomplishment. We are given an opportunity to achieve success in external life by mastering ourselves within. (To attain the outer, train the inner). It is a method of using inner force rather than outer force to create outer change.
From Gong Fee Fot Choy -- Book of Fortune, by Mararete Ward, 8 of Cubs (Mountain) is called Achievement. Queen of Spades is called Gratitude "Someone bequeaths a gift and generates or radiates gratitude."
The book from 1914 by Charles Shrewsbury TELLING FORTUNES BY CARDS, does not give clear meanings that help here. 8 of Clubs is said to be a brunette, possibly unmarried who will win admiration from accomplishments. So, it too, carries a bit of the meaning of "mountain". Queen of Spades, in this book, is given the meaning: a dark lady with dark eyes and an open and generous disposition -- a woman who is subject to flattery and the card is said to sometimes mean well-founded distrust.
In all cases, there is a bit of the meaning of Lenormand cards. Not to muddy the waters, but... it does seem to hold true for these cards. I will continue to do this with the daily cards and see what a few other sources have to say.
Numerologically, 8 is a sign of strength and of troubles that build strength. Mountain seems to be a card of endurance as well as blockages ???
