Child House
new start
The Child House is where things begin small. New projects, fresh perspectives, innocence, vulnerability, and the first tentative steps of anything that has not yet proven itself all belong here. A card in this position shows what is just starting and how much protection or room it needs to grow.

When a supportive card lands here
A promising beginning. A supportive card here suggests a fresh start with real potential, an idea worth nurturing, or a return to simplicity that cuts through accumulated complexity.
When a difficult card lands here
Naivety or fragility. A difficult card here warns of underestimating what a new venture requires, starting something without adequate preparation, or vulnerability being exploited.
Reading this house
In the Grand Tableau, every card that lands in position 13 is coloured by this house's theme. Read the visiting card first on its own terms, then ask how new start reshapes its meaning. A supportive card here amplifies the house; a difficult card creates friction within it.
