## Symbolism

A stooped man with open hands and a broad smile bows before a decorated officer who turns his back, hands clasped behind him. A paper marked "Sonnet" sticks out of the flatterer's pocket, a poem made to please. The scene shows praise that serves the speaker's interest more than the truth.

## Meaning

The Flatterer warns that there are sweet words around you, and it is worth asking what lies behind them. Not every compliment is false, but this one asks you to check the facts before getting carried away. Next to another card, it casts a doubt on that theme: whatever looks pleasant there deserves a second look.

## Love

Someone may be saying exactly what you want to hear without the actions to match. Notice whether the affection also shows up when there is nothing to gain.

## Work & money

Praise from a colleague or boss may come right before a request or a convenience, so do not decide anything on their enthusiasm alone. With money, be wary of easy promises and ask for everything in writing.

## As a person

A young man or a very charming acquaintance who praises easily and usually has an interest of his own.

## Advice

Thank them warmly for the compliment, but decide based on facts and actions.
