The Stork Card Meaning
When I think of the Stork card, I think of a big bird spreading its wings WIDE in the middle of its messy nest. Storks aren’t afraid to nest where they need (including the tops of buildings and houses!) and when they take off, everyone around knows because of the ruckus they make in the process.
The Stork migrates to better climates that suit their needs and they also alter their migration patterns depending on the environment, ever adapting to survive and thrive.
When the Stork appears in my Lenormand readings, it tends to represent positive change. But with any change, comes disruption and discomfort. But, like the Stork, the wise choice is often to embrace the mess and know that it is often worth temporary chaos for improvement.
In some cases, the Stork can represent pregnancy, especially when next to the Child card.
