Fish and Mice in Lenormand
Fish is money; Mice is loss. Read in that order, the pair says: money slowly draining away.
Reading Fish + Mice
Fish marks money, trade and circulation. Mice adds loss, stress and erosion, so the financial flow is gradually leaking rather than arriving cleanly. This often appears in daily money life as small repeated costs, unpaid invoices, dwindling savings or business overheads that quietly eat into profit; the emphasis is on slow wear and anxiety around resources, not a single dramatic event.
How the order works
Fish comes first and supplies the subject: money and flow. Mice comes second and modifies it: eroding away. Together: Money and flow eroding away.
Swap them and the sentence changes. Mice + Fish begins with loss and stress and ends with flowing with money — Money slowly leaking away
