Coming Up: Changes At The Top Involve Fights Between Allies, While A Secret Will Be Revealed

Week commencing 6th October 2025

Today’s Lenormand deck is called the “Old Style Lenormand”, and I’m using a 16-card “Witch’s Tableau” to look at what the cards say is coming up in the next few days.

A reminder of how to lay and read this spread here:

And here’s how the cards fell.

The Cards

Tree, Scythe, Rider, Book; House, Storks, Snake, Key; Whip, Dog, Tower, Cross; Child, Star, Gentleman, Lady

The Reading

So this suggests there’s been a cut or reduction in health or energies for someone, likely quite suddenly (Tree, Scythe) with changes in a household, place or institution connected with that (House, Storks). It represents a shift, a changeover of some kind. The health or energies in this place (Tree, House) and sudden change (Scythe, Storks). Health changes sudden divisions or splits in a household or place.

Underlying that appears to be some kind of conflict between friends or allies (Whip, Dog) over some new or more youthful hopes or ambitions, or a ‘junior’ party and what they want (Child, Stars). This junior party or new beginning is fractious and in a fighting mood (Whip, Child) regarding what they want support and allyship to look like in the grander scheme of things (Dog, Stars). Hard fought for dreams and support for a junior party or something new.

Ahead, we’re likely to see someone coming to reveal a secret or some knowledge (Rider, open Book), bringing answers to complications or trouble (Snake, Key) or even perhaps revealing the root of what that trouble is. The bringer of the message, however, may be a troublemaker (Rider, Snake) although the secret is likely to be very revealing (Book, Key). They will be bringing an answer or something crucial, and the secret is troublesome.

Underlying this is pressure or obligation on an institution perhaps the government. It could also reference the church here (Tower, Cross), a man and a woman (Gentleman, Lady) A male official or someone in a high position (Tower, Man) and a burdened or religious woman (Cross, Lady). An official woman (Tower, Lady) and a religious or burdened man (Cross, Gentleman).I wonder if this might have something to do with the new female Archbishop of Canterbury who was announced last week? But perhaps it’s something else entirely.

So reading the cards across in the rows, at the most conscious level, we have this sudden ‘cut’ of energy and health bringing the reveal of a secret of some kind (Tree, Scythe, Rider, Book).

There are changes afoot in a household or place, but also complications which bring truth (House, Storks, Snake, Key).

Underlying are conflicts between friends and supporters, perhaps allies (Whip, Dog) possibly in the church or in a “burdened institution” (Tower, Cross)

Which appear to involve some unconscious influences regarding something new in terms of dreams or goals, a man (or men) and woman (women) with the Child, Stars, Gentleman and Lady cards.

Pairing the cards gives us the following:

The health or wellbeing, perhaps growth of a woman (Tree, Lady) signifying a cutting down or attack on a man (Scythe, Gentleman) with the coming of big ambitions and dreams (Rider, Stars) and secrets or knowledge about something new or someone younger (Book, Child).

A house of burden or religion (House, Cross) where there are changes at the top, at an institutional level (Storks, Tower) brings betrayals and complications in friendships and allegiances (Snake, Dog) or an untrustworthy friend and an important or significant battle (Key, Whip) perhaps even over what the truth may be.

And if we ‘‘double-pair” the cards, we get the health of a household or place connected with a burdened or religious woman (Tree, House, Cross, Lady) involving sudden changes for a man or men at the top of an institution (Scythe, Storks, Tower, Gentleman). Complications and problems arrive regarding allegiance and the big picture as well as goals and dreams (Rider, Snake, Dog, Stars) and there’s a revelation and answer regarding fights between junior parties and/or someone younger (Book, Key, Whip, Child).
