In a modern reading
Confusion, doubt and a situation that is hard to see clearly. Like weather, it usually passes; the cards it touches are the ones affected. [13][14][11]
Text on the 19th-century card
Printed on a French Petit Lenormand (Geûens-Sea, Bruges, c. 1895–1901), Bibliothèque nationale de France [1]
Quand leur côté clair est tourné vers la personne, c'est un signe heureux, mais si c'est le côté obscur, quelque désagrément ne tardera pas à survenir.
When their light side faces the person, it is a happy sign; but if the dark side does, some unpleasantness will soon follow.
As a house in the Grand Tableau
Position 6 of the Grand Tableau is the House of the Clouds. A card that falls here is read in the context of confusion, doubt, uncertainty.[15][16]
