Garden and Stork in Lenormand
Garden is community; Stork is change. Read in that order, the pair says: public life enters a transition.
Reading Garden + Stork
Here the community is the subject and change is what modifies it. Garden places the matter in social life and public view; Stork turns that ground into transition and improvement, a shift that moves things forward. Concretely, an event, group or circle is re-forming, or a relocation is being discussed among friends and colleagues. Change arrives through people, not paperwork, and the direction is generally upward.
How the order works
Garden comes first and supplies the subject: the public and community. Stork comes second and modifies it: moving and improving. Together: The public and community moving and improving.
Swap them and the sentence changes. Stork + Garden begins with change and transition and ends with out in the open — A move into new social circles
