5. The Tree

Interpreting The Tree

The Tree is the fourth card of the Lenormand and represents your extended family and ancestral lineage (as opposed to The House which represents your immediate family). It signifies your family tree and its various branches. The Tree also has spiritual significance and can refer to soul contracts, karmic relationships, and past lives.

Traditionally, The Tree signifies holistic health and wellbeing. Connected to the Sacral Chakra, it represents vitality, longevity, and endurance. The Tree describes what needs healing in your life, whether that relates to your physical, mental or emotional health, or generational trauma.
