23. RATS (Seven of Clubs)

KEY VALUES: loss, anxiety, despair.
The appearance of this card in the layout means damage to property, loss or loss. You might even get robbed. Therefore, check again whether everything is in order with your locks, whether additional protection of your property is required, and watch your wallet. However, if the RATS card appears next to favorable cards, the loss will be found. But if you are next to the bad ones, the loss may be irreparable. This card can also warn you that something is tormenting you and preventing you from living in peace. Pay attention to those little things in life that are familiar to you, the loss of which can slowly but surely weaken your position. The combination of cards will contain a hint where exactly losses are expected. With favorable cards the meaning may change.

In matters of relationships: What good can come out of a relationship in which everyone pulls the blanket on themselves? Pursuing one’s own petty selfish interests, neglecting the interests of a partner. The RAT will not miss the opportunity to substitute. Vicious relationship, promiscuity. There was once a case where RATS symbolized incest (a love affair between close relatives), but this is very rarely found in practice. More often than not, this card will be an indication of bad subconscious desires or inclinations. Sexual perversion is also possible. If you are familiar with the principles of psychoanalysis, then when RATS appear in a reading, explore the repressed secret sexual desire.

In business matters this card promises major troubles, collapse of business, heavy financial losses, deception and theft. Unclean partners.

In medical matters a very unfavorable card in terms of health. It promises a severe course of the disease, complications, and irreversible changes in the body. This card can be a sign of stomach or digestive problems. The disease can take a severe chronic form.

Advice:"your shirt is closer to your body." Protect only your interests; altruism and selflessness have no meaning.

Today we will talk to you about the Small Deck card, the meaning of which I did not really agree with at first - this is the Lenormand Rats. The fact is that for several years in a row I kept decorative rats at home, and managed to see how smart, interesting and clean creatures they are. Therefore, when I looked at the map, it was they who immediately came to mind - my pet rats, and not the street dogs. Of course, according to the classics, the Rats are still a negative card, so I had to “retrain” myself and perceive the symbol as the majority of “lenormandists” perceive it. Well, okay, let's get down to business.

Description of the map

Most decks on this card depict rats that misbehave or ruin something. Often there is food or household utensils next to them, or we see what is happening in the pantry, house or kitchen. However, there are also rats on the street. Sometimes this card is also called Mice. The difference in meaning is small, it’s just that many Mice are interpreted a little less negatively. Matching playing deck - Seven of Clubs.

Symbolism

Unfortunately, rats have been considered unclean animals since ancient times: epidemics of various diseases, unsanitary conditions, poverty, decline, and losses of various kinds were associated with them. In Christianity, rats were sometimes even called servants of the devil. And in Egypt, the god of the plague was depicted in the form of this rodent. In general, we can say that the symbolism of rats combines all the worst human qualities - greed, gluttony, resourcefulness, the desire to cause damage, steal something, spoil something. However, in some cultures these little pests were not considered so dangerous - they were even called a symbol of fertility and prosperity. In principle, you can guess the origin of this belief: if rats have settled in a house, it means there are a lot of food supplies in it, and people are not in poverty. Therefore, I do not recommend that you always read the symbol as negative, although most fans of the Lenormand deck still focus on negative value cards.

General meaning of the card

The meaning of the Lenormand Rat card can be represented as a list of keywords:

• Losses
• Theft, theft, theft, robbery
• Dirt, uncleanliness, unsanitary conditions
• Infection, disease, harm to health
• Self-destruction
• Greed, gluttony, degradation
• Bad conditions
• Reducing something: for example, weight loss (this can also include a positive manifestation - cleansing the body, diet)
• Destruction, bad influence, petty mischief
• Minor offenses
• Nitpicking, criticism
• Stressful situations

In general, when Rats appear in the Lenormand scenario, you should be wary, since there will definitely be troubles, even if not fatal. One way or another, the quality of life deteriorates when Mice appear. In psychological scenarios, Rats who find themselves next to the querent’s significator often show fears and doubts that “gnaw” a person from the inside. And if we are talking about the situation in the house, this symbol often indicates minor breakdowns, for example, a burst pipe, failure of household appliances.

The meaning of the card in love and relationships

For Rat relationships, Lenormand is a very negative card, which usually indicates that in a couple, each partner pulls the blanket over himself, strives to grab the biggest piece for himself, and neglects the desires and needs of the person he lives with. Also, Rats often experience bad inclinations, sexual perversions, selfish interests of one of the partners, various fears, phobias, and torment that a person experiences in these relationships. In a word, there is no longer pure and bright love here; a period of decline has begun.

The meaning of the card in work and finance

However, Rats also do not bring anything good for the professional field. Under the influence of this Lenormand card, various losses and damages usually occur. Including financial, unreliable relationships in a team, where anyone can set you up, deceive, or drag you into some dubious fraud. Often Mice come to attack hidden enemies, the existence of which a person does not know - ill-wishers are very close and are thinking about how to snatch a bigger piece. This also includes unscrupulous partners, the machinations of competitors, and dubious transactions.

On the financial plane - income in which a person can barely make ends meet, low earnings or even unemployment, random income. Sometimes it happens that the querent earns enough, but the money slips through his fingers, or he is burdened with various loan payments, which significantly reduce the level of income.

The meaning of the card in medical matters

The meaning of Lenormand Rats in health readings is chronic diseases, infections, poor health. Often the card falls on some irreversible changes in the body, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, complications. Rats also play out unpleasantly in terms of mental health: when this card appears, a person may be at the mercy of numerous fears, phobias, and doubts that do not allow him to live in peace, drive him into depression, and “gnaw from the inside.”

The meaning of the card when describing a person

The man described by the Lenormand Mice is definitely one of those who should not be trusted. This is a greedy, negatively thinking person, capable of any petty meanness - deception, theft, setup. Often the card falls on people who have some noticeable flaws in appearance. For example, missing teeth, scars, age spots, burn marks. However, in some cases, Rats can show just a person who is on at the moment is in cramped circumstances, gnawing at himself because of some unpleasant incident.

The meaning of the card for the past, present, future

For questions of days gone by, Rats can show a significant loss for a person, the longing for which still torments his heart. However, it could also just be some kind of unpleasant incident (deception, theft, fraud, frame-up), the aftertaste of which remains to this day. For the present, you should take a closer look at your surroundings, since most likely there is a “rat” near you. When fortune telling for the future, 7 Clubs foreshadows future fears, doubts or unpleasant situations (we look at the surrounding cards to see which ones).

Map timings

Rats in Lenormand cards usually indicate loss of time, and if they appear as advice, then the querent needs to hurry up.

Lenormand rats advise you to be careful, protect your own interests and not allow attackers to take away what is dear to you. The card warns that a dishonest game is going on behind the querent’s back, threatening unpleasant losses.
