Hi Moonbow.
This post is going to appear as contradictory.
Although Titania based her cards on Lenormand, her interpretations are more modern. So they are different. So getting Titania's set will help you with Titania's deck but I'm not that it will necessarily follow that it will help you with Lenormand's deck. (However, as I said in an earlier post - the tranisition from one to the other is relatively easy.) Hope that doesn't sound like double dutch.
As Lee explained in his earlier post, Titania's set comes with a full instruction book that details the seven, nine and full card spreads.
Personally, I love Titania's stuff. As well as the cards, I have her numerology book and her crystal ball kit. I would recommend that you buy Titania's Fortune cards for themselves, and not necessarily as a way of interpreting Lenormand. It is a truly beautifully packaged set.
The seven card spread is read as a sentence. The best way to explain is to show a sample reading. I hope that this is not outside this thread's guidelines.
When I do seven and nine cards spreads, I like to shuffle, then fan the deck out, face down and hand pick the cards. When I do a reading for other people, I shuffle, then fan the deck and they pick the cards.
Cards are always read in their upright position.
For the purpose of this reading, I will give quick interpretations only. If the cards together don't mean anything, I'll leave them out. Each card is read in conjunction with the others in the line, though the further apart, the less impact. This is where your intuition kicks in. Because there are so few cards in a seven card spread, I read all joint meanings.
Quick sample seven card spread:
Anchor, Heart, Star, Ship, Coffin, Fish, Bear
Anchor/Heart - Secure in love.
Anchor/Ship - Torn between going away and staying.
Anchor/Fish - Money looks sound.
Heart/Star - Bodes well for love relationship.
Heart/Coffin - Love is not flourishing or your love is away.
Heart/Bear - Really important love affair.
Star/Coffin - Problems won't last longer.
Star/Fish - Business looks excellent.
Ship/Fish - Improvement in affairs, increase in luck and fortune.
Coffin/Fish - Wait for funds.
Fish/Bear - Money earned through profession.
My interpretation:
You had a fantastic relationship, however, your lover went away, and you do not know whether to follow them or not. The reason for your procrastination is that you are doing really well in your own employment. Perhaps you are trying to get enough money together to visit your lover. This will come, after a short wait.
With regard to the nine card reading. It is a three column, three row layout. It is read in sentences across each row. Then down each column, then diagonally from corner to corner (top to bottom). Yes, you can take any card and expand on it with a full reading. Lay that card in the centre. Shuffle deck and select one to cross it. Then reshuffle pack and layout cards in set pattern (which may be a little complicated to show in this post).
Without explaining order that cards are laid, it ends up being a huge cross, 8 cards down, 8 across (these surround central two cards). Then three cards each in each corner of the cross and the remaining cards (six) in a straight line at the bottom.
If you want to know more about this spread, I can post but it is perhaps suited to a different topic.
Good luck with your reading and let me know if you need more help.
Cheers
