Symbolism
A postman in a top hat and blue coat, with a leather pouch at his waist, hands a letter to a man who receives it through a window. The message passes from hand to hand quite naturally. The image stands for written communication, news and documents arriving.
- Meaning
- The Letter announces a message, an email, a document or a piece of news arriving, and the content depends on the neighbouring cards. On its own it is neutral: it is the channel, not the answer. Next to another card, it gives that card's theme a voice and shows how the news will come.
- Love
- A message, a written conversation or an invitation can set your love life in motion. Be clear in your words, because what you write will be read closely.
- Work & money
- Contracts, emails, proposals and important paperwork carry weight now. Read what is written calmly before replying or signing.
- As a person
- A messenger, or someone who communicates mainly in writing.
- Advice
- Read carefully, reply clearly and keep whatever matters.
