Stork and Rider in Lenormand
Stork is change; Rider is news. Read in that order, the pair says: news of an impending change arrives.
Reading Stork + Rider

Movement and messages speed the process up. In ordinary work life, an email or call about a transfer or new role can arrive within days, prompting you to prepare for the next step.
