The meaning
What the Child card means
The Child is a beginning: something new, small and inexperienced, full of potential and easily hurt. It can be a literal child, a fresh start or the early stage of anything. It makes the cards around it smaller, newer or more innocent.
Child in work and money
A new job, a start-up, a small project, a trainee. Promising, but needs support.
Child as a person
A child or a young, open, naive person — or anyone at the beginning of something.
Child as advice
Start small and stay curious. You do not need to know everything to begin.
Is the Child a yes or no card?
Yes. A small, hopeful yes — it is a beginning, so expect something modest that can grow.

The Child in a Grand Tableau
House 13 is row 2, column 4 — the inside of the grid, so it touches 8 cards: Ship, House, Tree, Birds, Fox, Mountain, Crossroads and Mice.
The house of the Child is new beginnings and small things. A card here is fresh, young or on a small scale: the Fox in this house is a new job or a first project, the Heart a new romance, and the Fish a small sum of money — or money spent on a child.
