Explanation Lenormand Grand Tableau, the great laying

In the Lenormand Grand Tableau laying pattern, or the big laying pattern, you lay all 36 Lenormand divination cards in front of you on the table in four rows of eight. At the bottom of this laying pattern, you place the remaining four cards.

The deck contains two person cards. A woman and a man. If you are a woman, use the woman as the person card for this card layout, if you are a man, use the man.

If you are transgender or non-binary, take the card that feels best for you, even if it is not an official person card.

The Lenormand Grand Tableau laying is quite often confused with the Lenormand Houses consultation. However, this is a complete different kind of card reading.

Lenormand Grand Tableau card reading

• The cards to the left of the person card represent your past.
• The cards to the right of the person card represent the future.
• The cards lying in a vertical line directly above your person card show what you are aware of.
• The cards lying in a vertical line directly below your person card give a glimpse into your subconscious.
• The cards located to the left diagonally (above and below) of your person card are the tones what influenced the present.
• The cards located to the right diagonally (above and below) of your person card show where the present can lead.
• The cards lying horizontally below the person card show what you have now mastered.
• The cards lying horizontally above your person card show what is still 'hanging over your head'.
• The four cards located in the heart of the laying reveal the theme of this laying and what you should best pay attention to this year.
• The four cards located in the corners of the 32 cards summarise what is important to you in the coming year.
• The four cards below the 32 card reading are the cards of destiny and show what you can expect within 8 to 12 weeks.

However, this does not end the sock. Each card is surrounded by other cards, all telling something about the cards connected to them. So this whole laying is full of stories about all possible life themes in view of present, past and future.

The Lenormand Grand Tableau card reading involves an annual prediction. It is therefore recommended not to do it more than once a year.
