Do the rest of the cards matter if the ones you care about are in a nice little cluster?

Would you think The Star being diagonally connected to The Man and Woman simply indicates the wish for all those things surrounding him/them?

I sometimes disregard cards that are too far away from me, they sometimes don't affect me directly.

EDIT: I gotta ask say though, the four corners of the spread are pretty sh!tty. But I take them as telling me what the person is asking about, what made them ask/do a spread. It seems pretty dire and I am sorry for that - but the Coffin at the end is not so bad, it means the difficulties are going to end.

Re the Star, idk what to say, it is technically beneath you and you have control over it because you're on top of it. It is a wish, but one you can fulfill, IMO.

At least you have him in your present. That is nice.

I didn't ask anything when I drew this, I just did it thinking it could be read generally like Tarot is. Can it not? And oh now that you mentioned it the 4 corners are kind of poo. Where did you learn to read Lenormand? I have Sylvie Steinbeck's book somewhere but get too excited and just start reading all the combinations. I never read in-depth about it, let alone finding one online that answers all my questions.

I also don't know if each row stands for something, and what is considered near or far regarding Lenormand. Like is 2 cards over considered "far" or what?

From what I know, the closer the cards are to you, the more influence they have in your life. The ones further away might not even be about you at all. It has happened to me, I told you in the other thread, I kept getting life threatening events (Tree+Coffin+Scythe in some combinations, other times one was missing and Cross came up) - turns out one of my friends' parents were in a deadly bus crash and were hospitalized for weeks. She called me to tell me about it and ask for my help with something. But it didn't involve me, physically. I don't know if your cards do that to you, mine are cheeky like that, because I was actually asking about my exam! It had nothing to do with it, but the cards had to warn me..

There was one site that I thought was pretty good, I learned the rule of knighting from it, and I always find it very, very revealing. Lemme see if I can find it.

In regards to love it may be many suitors with possibly talk about going out.

Thanks LC. That Fish-Letter etc would make sense with that Taurus girl I told you about! Maybe that's why the Whip showed up because she's bossy af.

If I suddenly have more than one suitor AND they're discussing taking me out I will definitely let you know! That'd be so exciting. Or would it...

Could it also be fate? "It was in the stars"?

You know what actually scares me out of the whole thing is Child + Scythe. I read somewhere that indicates an abortion, so I'm like O-O.

From my understanding a GT is read as a whole taking the entire string/row as well the columns. Then the corners and other details I don't know because at that point my head is swimming.

It bugs me not to have known I was supposed to ask a question so I guess I'll re-do it. It's too vague otherwise even though I know it's kind of "cheating". I didn't have any sort of focus when I drew it I just wondered what would come out.

That's what I thought too.

Hey Hanna, the Child-Scythe might not be about you, it is too far away. I know it's in your fate line but it can happen to someone else, a friend, a sister, who knows. The only cards that affect you directly are the ones immediately in your proximity, the ones on the same row and column as you, the diagonals and the knightings. The rest.. you could just hear about it, ESPECIALLY since you didn't ask a question. So don't worry too much about it.

Hanna, are you sure you didn't meet someone recently? I am still surprised of that Man in your present in your first GT.

I am not really sure about timing in GT, it all relates to how far the cards are to the significator, not their actual position in the GT.
