Cross in love
A difficult relationship, a burden shared, or a bond that feels fated. Next to the Heart it is love that asks for sacrifice; next to the Sun, a hard period that ends well.
Card 36 of 36 · 6♣ · a period to endure
The Cross card in Lenormand means suffering that has to be carried through; belief, and the weight that comes with it.
The meaning
The Cross is burden and fate: duty, suffering, faith and the weight that has to be carried. It can mean religion, karma or a lesson that cannot be avoided. Heavy, but rarely the end of the story — the cards after it show what the burden leads to.
A difficult relationship, a burden shared, or a bond that feels fated. Next to the Heart it is love that asks for sacrifice; next to the Sun, a hard period that ends well.
Heavy responsibility, a hard period, work out of duty rather than desire. Beside the Fox it means a demanding job; beside the Key, a burden that has a purpose.
A devout, burdened or self-sacrificing person.
Carry it, but do not carry it alone. This phase passes.
No. A heavy no — the Cross points to a burden or a lesson rather than the outcome you wanted.

A heavy womanHouse 36 is row 4, column 9 — a corner, so it touches 3 cards: Book, Letter and Anchor.
The house of the Cross is burden, duty and fate. A card here is heavy or simply has to be carried: the House in this house is family duties, the Book a spiritual or religious path, and the Tree a reminder to take your health seriously rather than a forecast.
