☾Introduction

With its familiar, endearing picture and compact size, the Lenormand deck is one of the most popular card systems used for divination.

It's said that the roots of the Lenormand deck trace back to a card game called "The Game of Hope," which was popular in the 18th century.

The name "Lenormand" comes from Marie Anne Lenormand, a famous fortune teller who was said to have been close to Napoleon's wife Josephine — although it seems she didn't actually use this particular deck for her readings.

We'll explain the Clover card, the second card of the Lenormand deck.

✧What the Clover Card Means

The Clover card, second in the Lenormand deck, depicts a four-leaf clover — an image many people associate with happiness and good luck.

The happiness this card represents is everyday, casual joy. Small pieces of luck that might otherwise slip by unnoticed if you're not paying attention. It seems to suggest that people who can find joy in such small things are the ones who are truly happy.

Clover also brings the kind of lucky coincidence where something unexpectedly good happens, or a wish comes true out of nowhere.

In most decks, the Lenormand card No.1, "Rider," shows a knight on horseback. Since horses are fond of clover, reaching out toward something interesting or enjoyable can also be said to mark the beginning of good luck.

The Clover card can also represent nature or plants. Getting outside to touch some greenery, or taking a walk through abundant nature, seems to be a good idea as well.

Compared to card No.5, "Tree," which represents long-term growth, Clover represents smaller happiness and shorter periods of time.

✧Clover Keywords

Here are the main keywords for the Clover card.

• Small happiness
• Small joy
• Casual pleasure
• Unexpected luck
• Luck
• Coincidence
• Short duration
• Plants
• The number 2

The Clover card is never about grand happiness or great fortune — rather, it represents the joy found in everyday life, carried along by small pieces of luck.

♡Clover Meaning: Love

When Clover appears in a love reading, it's a sign of rising luck in love.

You may feel an unexpected encounter or forward movement in a romance approaching.

Since Clover's keyword is casual, everyday happiness, it can indicate that romance with someone close by — a friend, or someone introduced through mutual connections — is more likely than something from a big party or formal meeting.

If you already have a partner, expect small experiences that make you feel happy, and a deepening of your bond.

Don't overthink things — simply accept the happiness as it comes.

♡Clover Meaning: Marriage

When Clover appears in a marriage reading, it can be read as taking a step toward marriage.

By feeling gratitude and joy toward your partner, you'll come to recognize each other as important people day by day, drawing you closer to marriage.

It's also a good sign to start by consulting family or friends around you.

♡Clover Meaning: Reconciliation

When Clover appears in a reading about reconciliation, it suggests there is a chance for getting back together.

You may realize, now that you're apart, just how valuable the small happiness you overlooked while you were together really was.

Try reaching out early and talking honestly about your feelings with each other.

☀Clover Meaning: Work

When Clover appears in a work reading, it suggests good results are on their way.

You may build a new connection, or receive a higher evaluation than expected.

✦Clover Meaning: General Luck

When Clover appears in a general fortune reading, it's a sign that your overall luck is on the rise from here.

You may run into small strokes of luck, or unexpected encounters.

Stay positive so you don't miss the signs that luck is coming your way.

⚖How to Read Cards Above, Below, Left, and Right of Clover

Here's how to interpret the cards that appear above, below, to the left, and to the right of Clover.

Card Above Clover

A card appearing above Clover suggests the scale of your luck.

If the Sun card appears above Clover, it can be read as sunlight helping Clover grow — meaning the power of your luck is strengthening.

If the Clouds card appears above Clover, then Clover is blocked from the sun, so its luck may be weakened and its energy dampened.

If the Heart or Stars card appears above, you can expect major good luck ahead.

Card Below Clover

A card appearing below Clover suggests where the luck will show up.

If the House card appears below Clover, small happy events at home or indoors seem likely.

Likewise, the Ship card points to a destination or somewhere overseas; the Tower, a school or public place; the Garden, a place where many people gather; the Mountain, somewhere in the mountains or with few people around; and the Fish, somewhere near water — a river, lake, or the sea. Whatever location that card represents is where some good fortune can be expected.

The meaning of the card below Clover can also suggest lucky events. If House appears below Clover, it suggests happy news related to family.

Ship points to travel, Book points to studies, and Anchor points to work — each foreshadowing where good luck will strike.

Card to the Right of Clover

A card appearing to the right of Clover suggests the direction your luck is heading.

If the Mountain or Coffin card appears to the right of Clover, your luck may be coming to an end within a short period. The Mountain card represents an obstacle, and the Coffin card signifies a pause or stop.

If the Rider card appears to the right of Clover, this luck could become the trigger for a life-changing turn of events.

Card to the Left of Clover

A card appearing to the left of Clover suggests the conditions that bring the luck about.

If the Mountain card appears to the left of Clover, it can be read as good luck coming from overcoming a challenge or trial given to you.

If the Gentleman or Lady card appears to the left of Clover, someone close to you may be holding the key to your good fortune.

Clover also works to soften the negative meaning of the Snake card. Wherever it appears — above, below, left, or right — it's thought to ease the Snake's less favorable meaning.
