The Fish card of the Lenormand oracle shows fish swimming freely in the water. In Hechtel's time, fishing and the fish trade were a very important source of wealth, and fish multiply and fill the nets, so this card symbolises money, abundance and business.
In the Lenormand oracle, the Fish are a positive card and the main money card. They speak of income, profits, trade and financial independence. Like the water they swim in, they can also refer to liquids, alcohol or deep emotions, and next to negative cards they warn of excess or uncontrolled spending.

Meaning of the Fish in the Lenormand oracle
The topic we ask the Lenormand oracle about is decisive when interpreting the Fish. These are some of their possible meanings:
The Fish in love
In love, the Fish speak of a free and independent relationship in which each person keeps their own space. They can indicate that money plays an important role in the couple, or a person who is well off. Next to negative cards they can warn of a relationship based on self-interest or of someone who won't be caught.
The Fish in money/work
This is where the Fish shine: they announce income, good business, sales and financial growth. They are very favourable for the self-employed, traders and entrepreneurs. They tell us it is a good time to invest or launch our own project. Next to negative cards they warn of overspending or losses.
The Fish in health
In health, the Fish are linked to bodily fluids, the kidneys, the bladder and hydration. They can also warn of excessive drinking or fluid retention.
The Fish in family/friendships
With family and friends, the Fish can speak of money matters between relatives, inheritances or family businesses. They can also refer to friends with whom we share good times and abundance.
The Fish for timing
The Fish have no set speed: like water, they flow. They usually indicate that something will happen when the money arrives, or within a matter of weeks.
