This card is one I chose from the Gilded Reverie - Lenormand by Ciro Marchetti.

5. Tree

As written in the booklet that came with the deck:

"I am here to stay and grow. I am the health of your body, mind, and soul. Look for the cards next to me to find out more about me. When negative cards are close pack some tissues for your nose.

A sign of health and longevity, and the imperative to put down one's roots to ensure a secure future. The card's presence could indicate a health condition that is inherited. Combine this card with the previous card of the House (4) and we have a 'Tree House' that speaks of security, but great family responsibility, and possible ill health through stress.

The Tree here also depicts the Tree of Life, a spiritual symbol that has its roots in the most ancient civilizations. Whether it be Babylonian, Egyptian, or Jewish images of the Tree, it speaks here of antiquity and ancient roots.

The card's meaning can also be seen in the rainbow, perhaps suggesting that true health is to be found in aligning ourselves between that which is above and that which is below. The harmony of the colours reflecting through the Tree symbolizes the holistic nature of healing and life itself."

As I'm looking at the card I'm aware that there is an abundance of colour with the dominant colour being green. Within the leaves of the wonderfully fertile tree are 3 birds, themselves with touches of rainbow colours in their feathers. Connecting through the trunk and the symbolism of the Tree of Life, is the rainbow - flowing into the grasses in the earth. Below  are the caps of the fungi, whether they be mushrooms or toadstools ... it makes no difference in this vision. An abundance and steadfastness in how they cycle in their season, as the rainbow appears with the right conditions in the atmosphere.

All is indicating the solidity of the tree and how it is firm, strong, a foundation of habitat for so much in life and understanding. Providing for each of us in defined ways, the air, food and habitat.

Within is the meaning of life ...

As you read the two explanations, take what you need from the words and feel what you are sensing about the card for your own interpretation and understanding.
