Treppner Correspondence Course – Individual Cards Explained – Part 2

At this time I will present all of the cards to you in detail, although one could certainly go
on and on about the thematic cards and their meanings. For the time being, I will limit
myself to the old standards, that way, the beginners will have sufficient learning material.
However, the professionals among you will surely be able to come across a new tip or two.
For each card, there are eight categories for their description:

1. Key Words
The terms most commonly associated with a card will be listed here. The primary meaning
is written in CAPTIAL letters, making it easy to spot.

2. General Description
Here is where you’ll find the description of how a card is mainly used and what you have
to look out for when interpreting it. This is just an overall summary of the card—the many,
smaller intricacies may only be mentioned briefly, as it would take too long to get into all
of them. Also, this way you won’t get too mentally overloaded.

r
3. Love

ne
This category should be seen as a short question – receiving a quick answer or used for a
daily overview. Sometimes multiple messages are revealed, in which case you have to filter
out what is true. Because most people use the cards to ask about love, I gave this topic a
pp
brief and seperate treatment.

4. Career
This is also only a short description, dealing with possible vocation fields, as this could also
e

turn into too much of a multilayered section. Again, this can also be used to glean quick
answers or discover your daily oracle in matters relating to work and career.
Tr

5. Characteristics/Qualities
The main characteristics/qualities of a card will be addressed, so that you can get an idea
s

what types of people can be referred to when interpreting a particular card.


Iri

6. Medicine
Under this heading, you will find the classic medical interpretations of the cards, but it is
only to be used as a reference and not to replace a visit to the doctor.

7. Timing Guide
Each card carries a timing factor within it. This will be mentioned only briefly. The usage
and determination of symbols referring to time will be explained later using different
methods.

8. Astrological Correspondence
Astrological signs, Houses, and Planets are discussed briefly and will be dealt with later in
a more detailed way in terms of the engeries and psychology involved.

s

dwelling and the message is determined by the surrounding cards, which


have an impact on one’s house, oneself and/or one’s family. Regarding

NO. 5 THE TREE

Key Words: MEDICINE, illness and health, a longer period, growth, the
process of maturity, growing up

General Description: This card is a bit boring and if you’re reading


cards and are sort of the spontaneous type and this card suddenly
appears; then you know that for this particular inquiry they answer is
going to take a long time to arrive! This card is also a general indicator of
all types of medicine or diseases, especially if negative cards are
combined with it (Example: Scythe, Coffin, Cross, etc.)

Love: an eternal love, but one also learn to practice some patients in
regards to a particular person.

e
Tr

Key Words: AMBIGUITY, obstacles, setbacks, despicableness, ex-


husband, older (more uncomfortable) gentleman, in terms of weather:
rain and storms
s

General Description: The clouds have a dark and a light side. If the
bright side of the cards is closest to a person card (Lord, Lady, Serpent,
Iri

Bear, Dog, etc.), or an object card (Book, House, etc.) or a thematic card
(Star, Clover, etc.), then it is a signal for the clearing up of ambiguities. If
the dark side of the card is facing the person, object or thematic card,
then it signifies dark times for the person, object or topic. These
problems will clear up, because—as in real life, The Clouds will
dissipate. However, one has to play an active role in this. If The Clouds
are located above a card, then it’s also seen as a negative sign, but there
is no effect when The Clouds are below a card.
Love: not the best time of matters of the heart – not much is going on
Career: Research, science, technology, humanities and philosophy -

job

NO. 7 THE SERPENT (The Snake)

Key Words: WOMAN (sister, friend, female colleague, mother etc.), a


confusing path, a detour, river

General Description: This mostly refers to a woman, who should be


regarded as neutral, only unless the card is paired with The Fox, which
indicates deviousness or a „slippery snake“. In reality, snakes are actually
useful to us in nature. They exterminate parasites and this is the message
imparted by this card. Confusing paths, detours and rivers are symbols –
the curving form of The Serpent. Using this logic, you can also associate
it with garden hoses, sewage drains and pipes of all kinds.

Love: a rivalry is possible, so watch out!

Career: Psychology, esotericism - a woman with important contacts

r
Characteristics/Qualities: eyeglasses, a complicated person

e

and through it, the process of change


Tr

General Description: If The Coffin is lying next to The House or The


Horseman. As such, one has to look at The Coffin as symbolizing an
illness, defect, damage, etc. Otherwise, it stand for a short fright and
s

sometimes—when all other signs point to it—a transformation.


Iri

Love: This has nothing to do with love, but rather grief and concern, but
it doesn’t last long before everything is good again.

Career: Unemployment or the threat of unemployment, otherwise talent


as an artist.

Characteristics/Qualities: dark type, dark thoughts, slope towards


depression

NO. 9 THE FLOWERS

Key Words: SURPRISE, joyful event, invitation, gift, a nice woman

because it’s always good for a positive surprise – there’s no better way to
say it than that.

just as likely

Career: Job in exhibitions, art exhibits/galleries, fairs/expo - invitation to


an interview or similar goes in one’s favor.

pp
Key Words: DANGER, aggression, toothache, general pain, sharp
objects (scissors, knives etc.), also harvest
e

General Description: As with The Clouds, there is also a positive and/or


Tr

a neutral or negative side to The Scythe. The left side shows the curved
side of The Scythe – that is, the safe side or the side that shows that the
danger has passed or will pass. Turned around, the right side of the card
shows the sharp, pointed side of The Scythe is facing towards a person
s

card (Lord, Lady, Child, Serpent, Bear, Dog, etc.), an object card (Book,
House, Ring, etc.) or a thematic card (Stars, Moon, Cross, etc.). If one of
Iri

these is next to The Scythe, then danger is present. If The Scythe is above
or below these card, then the situation is neutral.

Career: IT, internet, webdesign – but also annoyance in the workplace


and termination/leaving the job is possible

NO.11 THE BIRCH (The Birchrod/The Whip)

Key Words: CONVERSATIONS, discussion, controversy, separation,


dance, and sometimes: pairs, a broom and/or cleaning, writing utensils
and signatures

General Description: The Birch is a communication card – something is


going to be discuss and this discussion could get a little heavy.
Sometimes The Birch indicates a separation. Birch and Letter means that
something requires a signature, Birch and Ring signify two contracts,
Birch and Book refer to writing and Birch and Park stand for dancing.
Those are just a few of the different possibilities and combinations.

Love: Discussions about love, hopefully only passionately and not


aggressively

Career: Interpreter and everything within the field of communication -


annoyance on the job can arise; however, perhaps also a signature is

r
required.

Astrological Correspondence: 1st House – accomplishment

NO. 12 THE OWLS (The Birds)


e

Key Words: TELEPHONE CALLS, hectic and stress, pairs of things


Tr

and sometimes an older couple (Grandmother/Grandfather

General Description: I always consider The Owls to be the telephone or


s

contact cards, i.e. awaiting a conversation via telephone. If that doesn’t


apply, then it means that a hectic time of unrest and worry is on its way
Iri

to you. However, it will pass. If The Child is nearby, then the effect is
doubled.

Love: expect a telephone call about love

Career: Telecommunications - unrest on the job, possibly through


harassment

Characteristics/Qualities: causes unrest/stressful


Medicine: high blood pressure
Timing Guide: October
Astrological Correspondence: Venus – the planet of connections and
contracts

NO. 13 THE CHILD

Key Words: AN/YOUR ACTUAL CHILD, new start, new things (e.g. a
little bit of money, extra job, attentions), young woman, sometimes a
female rival, naivety, innocence

General Description: Nothing spectacular or exciting about the


description, because if it’s not referring to a child, then it’s indicating
something new or a new start –as mentioned above.

Love: a new or recent love is coming or a new start with a well-known


partner

Career: all kinds of part-time jobs, otherwise everything concerning


children and education. Sometimes indicates a complete change of
career.

Characteristics/Qualities: childish or immature, naive

r
Medicine: Childhood diseases - measles, rubella, mumps, chicken

ne
pox,etc..
Timing Guide: in short - positive
Astrological Correspondence: astrological sign: Cancer
pp
NO. 14 THE FOX

Key Words: FALSEHOOD, deviousness, fraud, plot, harassment, also


e

smartness, cleverness
Tr

General Description: The Fox stands primarily for underhandedness.


The Mice, The Mountain, The Coffin, etc have the ability to bring this to
an end. However, if none of these cards are directly next to The Fox, then
s

you have to watch out. If only good cards are lying around The Fox, then
you can also assume that a certain thing is very clever to do.
Iri

Love: Caution! Deception in love and one has reason to be jealous.

Career: All kinds of independent work - and watch out for harassment
and deviousness on the job

Characteristics/Qualities: gaunt to dry - watch out, that is a Fox!


Depending upon type, either smart/clever or deceptive (usually the latter)

opinion

NO. 15 THE BEAR

Key Words: OFFICIAL PERSON: Lawyer, accountant, principal, real


estate broker, entrepreneur or an older person (gender neutral),
possession, power, strength, envy, jealousy

General Description: First and foremost, I regard The Bear as an


official. Only after that isn’t at all applicable to the situation are other
possibilities considered. For example, if The Bear is lying next to The
House, then that signifies either a current or future possession. Together
with The Lord, The Bear can refer to an emotional situation – jealousy,
etc. If none of that applies, then perhaps it stands for a grandmother or
grandfather.

Love: an entrepreneur could become a new or current partner - also The


Bear is a reference to a jealous person or a homewrecker

Career: Entrepreneur, real estate broker, lawyer etc. The Bear is an

r
indication of your own ability to accomplish things, which is good, if

ne
you’re trying to become self-employed

Characteristics/Qualities: bubbly, effervescent – stable stature, dark-


pp
blond to brown hair
Medicine: work on your internal equilibrium through yoga, meditation,
etc.

NO. 16 THE STARS

Key Words: ESOTERICISM and spirituality. Also: seeing clearly, good


s

ideas and intuition, sometimes a new start or nighttime; and in terms of


weather: snowflakes falling down slowly.
Iri

General Description: The Stars remind everyone of the esoteric;


however, you shouldn’t over-exaggerate this comparison. I’ve often
noticed that some people always try to make such a connection, but this
is rarely the case. Most of the time The Stars should be seen as a lucky
card. I know that everyone wants to be esoteric, spiritual and balanced;
because of this, they always want this card on their side. Of course, this
could also be the meaning, just not all the time!!!

Love: a fresh start in love, this new partner could be a spiritual person
and make for an exciting night
Career: Occupations in the field of esotericism – a complete change of
occupation,self-employment or a total change within a company.

NO. 17 THE STORKS

Key Words: CHANGE, transformation, relocation, travel, flexibility,


revolt

General Description: There’s also not that much to explain here,


because mostly this is about a noticible change. Pay attention to where
this card occurs. With The House, The Anchor or with The Heart? This
way, you know where and how the change will happen.

Love: a positive change in love

Career: all types of creative jobs are good and it could also indicate an
unusually revolutionary change on the job

Characteristics/Qualities: colorful people, little rebels


Medicine: An illness has a positive outcome

Astrological Correspondence: astrological sign: Aquarius

NO. 18 THE DOG


ne
pp
Key Words: FRIEND, loyalty, comraderie, friendship, man, dog,
domestic animals
e

General Description: Another harmless card that could actually stand on


its own. First of all, it could stand for a friendly and helpful man. If this
Tr

card is next to a person card, then it stands for a very loyal person.

Love: love develops out of friendship or vice versa


s

Career: Animal caretaker – and stability


Iri

Characteristics/Qualities: faithfully and friendly, mid-blond hair


Medicine: State of health will stabilize
Timing Guide: July

NO. 19 THE TOWER

Key Words: OFFICE and AUTHORITY, independence, diligence,


isolation, discipline, ambition, boundaries, city limits, also separation
and/or divorce

General Description: In proximity to a person, it is an indicator of


independence or bureaucracy. Together with additional cards,e.g. The
Bitch or Bear, it refers to a court case or negotiation. Still with other
cards it stands for school, diligence or isolation. It depends on the
combination, really. Sometimes The Tower shows that a person is lonely
or very diligent, disciplined or ambitious.

Love: a love is lost - a separation is approaching

Career: Self-employment or occupation as a civil servant

r
Characteristics/Qualities: Civil servant or self-employed, slender

Medicine: Spinal Column

ne
Astrological Correspondence: Planet Saturn – for boundaries and
pp
diligence

NO. 20 THE PARK


e

Key Words: PUBLIC and everything in and around that: Fairs,


Tr

exhibitions, meetings, society, public traffic. Additionally, a grill party or


birthday with neighbors and friends, sporting events

General Description: There’s not much to say about The Park that
s

hasn’t been mentioned under the key words. If you are wondering about a
party or similar event, then look for The Park to see how the event will
Iri

turn out. Sometimes there will be gossip, if The Owls are present or the
wrong company, if The Fox is hanging around. The whole thing could be
a disaster if The Coffin or The Clouds are next to it. The Clouds could
symbolize that an open-air even will be rained out.

Love: You meet your new love in public (small or large event)

Career: all jobs with contact to the public

Characteristics/Qualities: is sociable, public figure


Medicine: Trip to the spa or rehabilitation measures are granted

NO. 21 THE MOUNTAIN

Key Words: BARRIERS, load, obstacles, protective wall, mountains,


animostiy, cold weather, hill, upward, nature

General Description: Like the card says, there will be barriers. One has
to look to see where The Mountain is located in order to see where the
hinderance lies. Sometimes it is a burden to bear and some good could
come out of it. This is especially true in combination with The Mice, who
will move The Mountain if they are next to it. Yes, it’s just that simple
with the cards—even when The Mice are relatively small in comparison
to The Mountain. In some cases, The Mountain can be seen as a
protective barrier – which is good and can often be seen in terms of
traveling to the mountains for holiday.

Love: love is being hindered and will not develop

r
Career: Mountain climber, shepher, climate researcher etc. – otherwise

ne
indicates stagnation in the workplace

Characteristics/Qualities: a cool and ponderous nature


Medicine: persisten illnes, discipline is needed
pp
Timing Guide: January
Astrological Correspondence: astrological sign: Capricorn
e

NO. 22 THE PATHS


Tr

Key Words: DECISION, alternativea, walking, open nature, road,


navigation
s

General Description: Decision-making is the main priority of this card


and it should be the first card that is interpreted. Only when the position
Iri

of The Paths are such that you cannot make a decision regarding the
particular topic, should you look look for alternative interpretations.

Love: one has to choose between two partners or a decision needs to be


made in one’s love life

Career: Part-time jobs – and a decision that works out in your favor

Characteristics/Qualities: decisive
Medicine: veins and arteries in general—a tendency towards varicose
veins.
Timing Guide: within two months
Astrological Correspondence: astrological sign: Gemini

Iris Treppner Lenormand-Course.www.iristreppner.de. All content is subject to copyright 04.04.2007!

NO. 23 THE MICE

Key Words: LOSS, thieves, minimization, illness, parasites

General Description: By themselves, The Mice indicate that something


is going to go missing soon, because they are tiny thieves. Sometimes
they predict an illness, and, in rare cases, they stand for a rapid increase –
this is almost never the case, however – only when The Fish (Money) are
lying next to them. The Mice are a good sign, if they are next to negative
cards (Clouds, Coffin, Scythe, Fox, Mountain, etc.), as they cancel out
the negativity. The same thing goes for the positive cards though, e.g.
Heart plus Mice = grief; Ring plus Mice = broken connection, etc.)

Love: lovesickness or the loss of a partnet

Career: Insurance, banks, team leaders - loss of one's job, being


unemployed

r
Characteristics/Qualities: unreliable und unkempt or very nonchalant

ne
Medicine: viruses
Timing Guide: immediate - negative
Astrological Correspondence: astrological sign: Virgo
pp
NO. 24 THE HEART
e

Key Words: LOVE, flirt, affair, affection


Tr

General Description: Once again, there are no big surprises here. This is
about love. If romantic love isn’t applicable, then friendship or familial
love is meant. On its own, The Heart always stands for big
feelings/emotions – in a large card formation, this should be one of the
s

first cards to look out for, since one always has a lot of questions
Iri

concerning love and romance. Pay attention to the surrounding cards, in


order to draw your conclusions.

Love: the love of your life or love is just around the corner

Career: Independence in all areas - enthusiam about the job and putting
your heart and soul into everything you do

Characteristics/Qualities: the affectionate type


Medicine: The heart
Timing Guide: August
Astrological Correspondence: astrological sign: Leo

13
Iris Treppner Lenormand-Course.www.iristreppner.de. All content is subject to copyright 04.04.2007!

NO. 25 THE RING

Key Words: CONNECTION, contract, marriage, partnership,


association, jewelry, circle

General Description: The Ring is another straightforward card. In most


cases it is seen as a partnership/relationship or a contract – and that’s just
the way that it should be. The Ring in combination with The Book, The
Birch, The Letter, The Anchor, etc. – indicates a business contract.
Together with love, Ring – Book can stand for a secret love. It can also
symbolize something that happens over and over again (in a circle). If a
loved one is away and The Ring is clear of negative cards and surrounded
by positive one, then it means that the person will come back, because
you are still bound to them. The Ring in the card formation belongs to
you.

Love: a partnership or a marriage is arranged

r
Career: one needs routine work - a contract arrives

Characteristics/Qualities: open to connections


Medicine: chronic suffering ne
pp
Timing Guide: for all eternity or „not yet“
Astrological Correspondence: 8th House – searching for connections
e

NO. 26 THE BOOK


Tr

Key Words: SECRET, contract, education, training, re-education,


seminar, a book, paper work

General Description: We’re always on the lookout for secrets to reveal,


s

but in reality, there’s not that much to find out on a daily basis.
Iri

Therefore, secrets should take a secondary role in our train of though.


Actually, The Book can be connected with paper work/things made out
of paper: letters, invoices, balances, scrips, diaries, etc. The next
association is education or contracts. Depending on which cards are
bordering The Book, the message can either be pleasing or depressing. If
the open side of the book is facing the person card, then a secret is going
to be revealed.

Love: secret love (affair) or unknown partner waits for you

Career: Scholarly situation and advanced training are good bet

Characteristics/Qualities: myster-monger, discreet


Medicine: lacking self-confidence, can manifest psychosomatically
Timing Guide: March

NO. 27 THE LETTER

Key Words: MESSAGE – email, text message, letter, telephone call,


contact, smoothness, superficiality

General Description: The symbolism of this card speaks for itself. If we


are waiting for a message and want to find out if it is positve or negative,
then we have to pay attention to the cards around it. The Mountain can
block a message, The Mice can destory it altogether.

Love: a love letter

Career: everything within the field of media and communication –


expect acceptance/approval related to the job

Characteristics/Qualities: superficial person


Medicine: one gets a prescription, which helps improvement – tendency
towards hairloss

NO. 28 THE LORD


pp
Key Words: PRIMARY MALE PERSON CARD, male friend, married
man, husband, father
e

General Description: In most cases, this card stands for your current
Tr

partner. It doesn’t always stand for the man of your dreams (the one that
you really want to have, but with whom you are not together). Pay
attention to the following hierarchy of cards representing males: Lord,
Lily, Dog (then Bear and Horseman). This way you can get an idea of the
s

association. If you are a man, then pay attention to this are in the card
formation, because this is you.
Iri

Love: a partnership with the right man will begin soon, and/or you will
make a romantic commitment

Career: Handicraft, management, self-employment - a man will become


important to you on the job Sie, you will see things through

Key Words: SECURITY, good success, doors open, something hidden


is revealed, the Lenormand exclamation point

and success, The Key can also stand for the possibility of discovering
your own potential and hidden talents. Dig around a bit in youself, you’ll
be surprised to find out what you can discover with a little self-reflection.

e

Key Words: MONEY, finances, businessman, water and fish, fishing,


alcohol
Tr

General Description: This is the main money card and the card to look
out for if we are looking for answers to a question that is financial in
nature. The message is less pleasing if there is a Coffin in the
s

combination, but with The Sun, on the other hand, there is a definite
Iri

upswing. There’s not going to be a daily report about our financial


situation. Sometimes The Fish are sending very banal messages – for
examplem if there is a fun party being shown in the cards and The Fish is
combined with The Clouds, it could be indicating a hangover.

NO. 35 THE ANCHOR

Key Words: WORK, career, solidarity, homeland, beach and surf, also
„chained down“

General Description:
Everyone knows that The Anchor stands for work. The reason is because
when ships would enter the harbor, they would lower the anchor and the
unload the ship. Nevertheless, there are also other meanings behind this
symbol. For example, it could stand for an arrival – to one’s homeland,
on the job or „arriving home to“ your life partner. But pay attention, The
Anchor can also be a stone around your neck, at least that can also be
gleaned from the symbolism. If you’re looking for a free time activity:
the beach and water are being indicated.

if The Cross is present. If you think you’re about to tie the knot with the
Iri

partner of your dreams, if The Cross is next to The Lord…then think


again! Honestly, when has fate ever come to pass with this card? Pay
attention if there is positive card next to The Cross, because that’s good –
otherwise, this card just spreads disappointment and annoyance.

Love: Fateful partner or separation? You already know! If you are honest
with yourself, you’ve known the answer all along!
