The Stork appeared repeatedly when we were finishing our basement in Illinois. At first, House with Stork brought excitement. Later, Stork with Mountain and Mice showed delays stretching from two months to nearly four, with many small flaws and defects. Whip with Stork and Mice reflected the arguments and stress that followed. The project felt like a nightmare, but nearly five months later, we had a beautiful finished basement. I still miss it sometimes.

A client, Jenny, came to me deeply worried about fertility. I structured specific questions to address her concerns. First, could she become pregnant? I assigned Tree to represent her body and health. The first cards, Mice, Child, and Woman, reflected her anxiety. The card following Tree was Stork, which answered yes. The next cards, Whip and Tower, added the condition: repeated procedures in a medical setting.

My answer was yes, but not without medical intervention and some difficult moments.

Next, I asked whether the method would succeed. I assigned the procedure to Scythe and drew Fish, Stork, Scythe, Whip, Anchor. Fish and Stork described fertilization. Whip again showed repetition and discomfort. Anchor at the end was decisive, showing delayed but eventual success. My message to her was clear. This will work, but it will take time, persistence, and endurance.

Nearly a year later, after multiple treatments, Jenny became pregnant. Her child is now two years old. I had given her an image of the Anchor card after the reading, and she told me she looked at it whenever she felt overwhelmed. When she called to tell me she was pregnant, it felt like winning the lottery.
