Stork

Meaning

Change, particularly change of place or form. The Stork is movement from one state to another — relocation, a shift in circumstances, a transformation of something that already exists. Unlike the Child's fresh start, the Stork changes a thing that is already there.

Its migratory nature gives it a cyclical quality, and traditionally it also touches on pregnancy and family growth, though again this needs support before it should be read literally.

The tone is hopeful and mobile. Stork change is usually improvement, or at least intended as such.

Beside other cards

Usually the modifier, indicating that its neighbour is shifting. Stork + House is a move. Stork + Fox is a change in work. Beside static cards like the Mountain or Anchor, look at which is stronger — the change or the thing resisting it.
