Card 2 of 36 · 6♦ · very soon, briefly
Clover
A break, but a small and short one — luck you have to act on quickly.
Clover in pairs
This is where the meaning is. Clover leading means the reading is about small luck; Clover following means something else is being coloured by it. Same two cards, different sentence.

In a Grand Tableau, Clover is both a card and house 2. Whatever falls into that house is read through small luck — so if Fish lands in house 2, money is being read in the context of small luck.
If Clover lands in house 2 — its own house — that is usually called significant. It is worth knowing the arithmetic first: across a shuffled 36-card tableau the expected number of self-housed cards is exactly one, so this happens constantly. See the combinatorics on the main page.
Proximity is the other convention. Any two cards land adjacent 16.98% of the time by geometry alone — about one pairing in six — which is the baseline against which a meaningful-looking neighbour should be read.
