The The Bouquet

The card

A tied bouquet with the flower heads turned outward. It is the most pleasing image in the deck.

How to read it

The Bouquet is "being treated well": receiving a gift, being appreciated, being welcome. It also covers beauty, appearance and occasions where you are presentable. Its good fortune is mild and social — it is not about great destiny, it is about someone being kind to you.

In context

Love

Being courted, receiving gifts, being valued. The sweetness of the pursuit.

Work

Being recognized, receiving thanks, or work involving beauty, fashion and hospitality.

Timing
