The Crossroads card of the Lenormand oracle, also known as the Paths, speaks of decision-making, of having several options and of the choice the querent must make.
In the Lenormand oracle, the Crossroads are a neutral card. Besides decision-making, they can speak of getting lost, taking a different path or moving away from someone or something.
