What questions a Lenormand line can hold
Three cards fit one question stated before the draw. They make a sentence of images. They do not make a schedule, and they do not make a medical or legal decision.

The question and the lens come before the draw
With no lens declared, use background, focus, and direction. Changing the lens afterward makes the same line do a second job.
Once drawn, the line stays
The draw is a selection from the saved seed. Do not keep drawing until it looks welcome. The clock of the question is stored with the reading and does not enter the shuffle.
Turn a decision into a sentence of images
Illustration: “Should I resign?” should not be answered by three cards that had no lens declared. You can declare theme, obstacle, and next step, then draw. Next step is still not an order that must be carried out.
Common mistakes
- Changing the lens after the reading.
- Turning direction into a schedule.
- Using the cards for a medical or legal decision.

Frequently asked questions
Can I invent a lens?
Yes, if before the draw you state what each of the three positions does, and the three still make one sentence.
Can one line answer two questions?
No. One question, one declaration, one draw.
Can a card identify a specific person?
An image is not an identity. Do not turn Rider or Garden into a named person.
