Then they did not believe her, but less than ten years later, all the predictions came true. Once in power, Napoleon remembered Lenormand, gave her a million francs, after which she became Josephine's personal fortune-teller. In the future, she predicted her divorce from Napoleon, even the defeat of the French army in Russia.
Lenormand died in 1843, without saving any divination notes or any special cards.
Map description

In the foreground is always a sickle or a scythe.

Interpretation
Although on the map itself anda summer sunny day, blue and clear sky is depicted, this should not mislead you. All interpreters agree that this is in fact a sharp, sharp and destructive card. The scythe will definitely cut off something, and what exactly will be clear only from the context and the specific scenario. For example, it could be a trip or a person, they could have an accident or be hospitalized for surgery.
This card always indicates the presence of a powerful energy flow, it is in connection with it that it has its own destructive character. After all, such a force is very difficult to manage, often it gets out of control, causing harm to those who tried to use it. When this card comes across in a layout, the fortuneteller should be alert. After all, events will definitely happen, the only thing that a person who is guessing can do is try to mitigate their effect in order to make the consequences as mild as possible.
At the same time, you need to understand that the "Scythe" card itself is not a symbol of pain or suffering, it demonstrates the onset of some kind of turning point, a decisive action that will cut off the whole past. The "Scythe" will indicate death only next to the "Coffin" card, in all other cases - these are drastic changes that can be both positive and negative. But the appearance of the “Scythe” and “Coffin” next to Lenormand will clearly mean a fatal accident, a heavy loss, a violent death, while the time for making a decision has already come out, practically nothing is already possiblechange.
It is worth understanding that fractures and separations in life are the natural course of things, instead of grieving, you can turn everything around in such a way as to use them for your own good. You can become a "victim" of the "Scythe" yourself, or you can turn into a scythe, using it to your advantage.
"Scythe" is always a symbol of decisive and active action, when you can not hesitate. If a problem hangs over a person, it is urgently required to solve it, and any delay or delay in this process can only worsen the situation, and exponentially. But, before acting, it is important to think carefully about everything, starting with yourself, to carefully analyze everything. This is necessary to direct your forces in the right direction. Decisiveness, assertiveness and fortitude are very appropriate in this period. At the same time, the energy of the card leads to rivalry and aggressiveness, which cannot be succumbed. Careless and reckless actions can lead to serious problems.
Often the "Scythe" card can predict accidents, injuries or accidents. Neighboring cards can indicate the nature of the danger, they will help you understand where to expect trouble. "Scythe" is almost always a symbol of a difficult life phase ahead, at this time a person is cut off from his usual environment, family, the card symbolizes a certain stage in life, while it is not known how it will end and what it will lead to. You can only find out by evaluating the following cards or drawing additional ones.
Success in this scenario is possible only ifa person who is being guessed is ready to decisively break with his past, complete all old affairs, sort out his social circle, radically reconsider his position.
Negative value
Often this card has a negative meaning, when a series of errors leads to the fact that a person is billed in a peculiar way.
At the same time, this card makes it possible for negative energy to manifest, which will lead to a painful and abrupt release. Proceedings, a series of scandals, a break in relations can contribute to this.
For example, if problems started at work, then all the negativity will spread to home, and vice versa. Coming home from work on edge, such a person will lash out at loved ones, worsening the situation to an unimaginable state, soon he will lose his sense of security, he will realize that he cannot fully relax anywhere, feel completely safe, he constantly has to be in tension - in attack or defense.
If the "Scythe" is surrounded by positive cards, this means that the troubles will not affect specifically the person who is guessing, but will give him serious emotional experiences for a friend or relative. Even if troubles concern you personally, most often they can be avoided if you exercise caution and vigilance, and prepare yourself physically and mentally.
It is important to pay attention to the direction in which the tip of the Scythe is directed. If in the past, then this means that the problems are left behind, but the consequences of them are still reaching out for you and will not let go. If at present, then thismeans a high probability of an operation or an unpleasant injury, events that are sharply negative. When the tip is directed to the future, the expected result will depend on the cards that fall nearby, as well as on your specific actions that will lead to a particular result. Traditionally, the "Scythe" is considered by most predictors to be a negative card, but if during the year after fortune-telling you worked hard, invested in your business, then the kind of harvest that you collect will be appropriate. You will only have to pay if you make a mistake.
