I also find the Lennies both literal and figurative. So it can be quite confusing. For instance, wondering how the court case would go in regard to DT and the court, I got Child and Sun. That could mean both great news for the "new" (Child) people entering the States, or good news for the "Child" leading the States. It turns out it was good news for the "new" people entering the States. It's hard to tell sometimes.
Also, when asking a question in a yes/no method, we are advised by expert readers to frame the question into the positive side; but if the answer cards are negative, do we read it as a no, or do we then interpret those negative cards? No answers for that.
Also, I would realllly appreciate it if the so-called experts in the Lennie world would stop saying "Coffin and Scythe don't necessarily mean a death, there has to be supporting cards for that". Well, what ARE the freaking supporting cards? I want to know! Because one can sugar-coat it all they like, but death is a natural happening, and it happens all the time. So stop saying it doesn't mean what it means.
Further: a) I find it really disturbing when certain people claim to know everything there is to know about Lennies (I call BS, sorry)
and b) when a card falls into its own house, I have found, by retrospect experience, that it is a corruption of that card/house, not a positive thing! So, for instance, Stars in the house of Star would be a negative explosion of things, i.e., infamy, cancers growing and multiplying, a lot of negative press, not happy or hopeful fame. Bouquet in the house of Bouquet would mean unhealthy narcissism, and not lovely gifts, dates and compliments, etc.
