Mice in love
Eroding trust, worry, small irritations wearing a relationship down. The Heart beside it shows love worn thin by stress, but the Key beside it says the worry has a solution.
Card 23 of 36 · 7♣ · gradual
The Mice card in Lenormand means small persistent damage — theft, stress, a thing being nibbled away rather than taken.
The meaning
The Mice are loss by erosion: small persistent damage, stress, theft, something being nibbled away rather than taken at once. They reduce whatever they touch. Caught early, the damage is small; ignored, it adds up.
Eroding trust, worry, small irritations wearing a relationship down. The Heart beside it shows love worn thin by stress, but the Key beside it says the worry has a solution.
Losses, stress, theft, a slow decline in a business or a budget leaking away. Close to the Fox it warns of burnout at work; close to the Tower, of trouble with an institution.
An anxious, worried person — or someone who quietly takes more than they should.
Find the leak and fix it now. Small losses are only small at the start.
No. Something is being lost — the Mice say no, or that the gain would cost too much.

A draining burdenHouse 23 is row 3, column 5 — the inside of the grid, so it touches 8 cards: Child, Fox, Bear, Crossroads, Heart, Sun, Moon and Key.
The house of the Mice is loss, worry and slow erosion. A card here is being worn down or slipping away: the Fish in this house is money leaking out, the Dog a friendship fading, and the Tree stress taking its toll on your energy.
