Bear and Birds Combination in Lenormand

In this order strength becomes the leading theme, and the Birds clarify that talk circles around it. The Bear shows power, resources and an influential person who genuinely affects your affairs, while the Birds give all of it the shape of negotiations, discussions and calls. Together the cards read like this: serious business communication surrounds the strong figure, and much is settled through a direct talk with whoever holds the power. This is a negotiation with a superior, exactly as the Bear and Birds pairing reads on the card page itself. The combination is mobile, since the Birds bring bustle and worry, and the calm might of the Bear ends up surrounded by words and approvals. There is an anxious side too: beside a strong figure the Birds speak of worry over them, of gossip around an influential person, or of a tense conversation in which it is important not to lose your footing.

In feelings a strong partner comes first, and the Birds add communication and worry. The Bear describes a solid bond with a caring, influential person who feels like a rock, while the Birds say there is a lot of talk and discussion between you. For a couple it is lively contact with a strong partner, where much is cleared up through words. For a single person the pair brings a meeting with an established person that begins with a conversation. This pairing has an anxious side: the Birds speak of worry over the strong figure, of jealous talk, or of outside gossip around a relationship in which one person is clearly in charge.

In work strength leads, and the Birds turn it into conversation. The Bear shows a boss, an influential partner or large resources, while the Birds speak of negotiations, meetings and approvals around them. This is a serious business talk with the person who makes the decisions, a discussion with management on which the outcome of the matter depends. In money the cards point to talks about large sums: agreeing terms with an influential person, settling a weighty deal, a conversation about capital. The main thing is to stay calm and confident, since a strong figure values firmness, and fuss and extra words only get in the way of such a talk.

If the cards swap and the Birds come first, the conversation itself takes the lead, and the Bear only lends it weight and seriousness. The accent then moves from the influential figure to the talk itself, which proves important and weighty. This turn is covered in detail on the separate page Birds and Bear, where communication is the theme and the strong figure makes it a serious business talk with weight.

Enter the conversation from a position of strength. In this order you have both authority and a reason to negotiate, so speak calmly, firmly and to the point. With a strong figure it pays to keep a steady, respectful contact and not lose yourself in worry. Do not believe every rumour around an influential person, and check the important things at the source rather than with those who spread the talk. Calm confidence in a conversation opens more doors than a flustered push.
