Stork & Child

#17 - Stork

The symbol of the stork, often pictured in the cartoon form as a giant bird flying through the sky with a grin on his face and a baby bundle hanging from a stick he carries in his mouth, is very commonly associated with babies, having children, finding out you are pregnant, and other such dramatic news of maternity, or additions to the family. The stork has long been associated with this because of old wives tales and nursery rhymes where women tell their children that babies come from storks, who deliver the children to their new homes. Thinking about what this means with more fluidity, the stork card could indicate that a positive addition of any kind will be entering the home. This could be a new roommate, a family member visiting from out of town, a new piece of furniture, or even some construction or remodeling of the home or workspace. It could be a piece of good news that’s being delivered, perhaps even from far away, or even a very important, expensive, or fragile package that’s on it’s way. It may indicate an improvement in health, or a change in the reading of a medical test. It could be describing an upcoming promotion at work. It could also indicate a recovery from some type of addiction, a relocation, new home, new apartment, or anything that might yield or prompt a brand new chance at life or outlook at life. It is the chance to either start your life anew, start your adult life at 18, or have a chance at a rebirth or redo in life. The colors most often associated with storks are baby pink or baby blue. Baby blue especially is indicative of the sky, and the phrase the sky is the limit — there’s no coincidence that storks bring their news through the air.

#13 - Child

Child - The child, in your case, means that you are about to experience a rebirth. Something fresh and new is coming to you, and it may take a couple of months to get here but it will change your entire life. This could be a new job, or new work environment. It could even mean a new city or home. Regardless of the change in your life— the card featuring the child reminds us to look at all new things as optimistic challenges. A child does not become angry because it cannot master his first steps, he simply learns to walk, because it is the thing that he must do in order to survive. The most important thing about this card is that the challenges should be embraced with a youthful optimism and lighthearted energy. Change can be delightful. We hear often that optimists see the glass half full, while pessimists see the glass as half empty. Have you ever heard that old saying before? Well guess what, there’s a third group of people, who drink the water, so there is no longer a problem. The point is that while life and change is not in your control; you are not the barista or bartender who served up the original glass, you certainly have it in your power to decide what to do with the water! Life is what we make it, so let’s make it right.

Stork + Child

There is no doubt about it, when the stork and child cards are combined, you will definitely be receiving an addition to your family within the year. It could be a new piece of furniture, new car, or new pet, but more than likely this is a baby, and all of the love and joy that comes with it.

Numerology

The stork is represented by the number 17, and the child is represented by the number 13. When we add these numbers together, 17 + 13 = 30. Because thirty is not a single digit number, we must then add the digits of 30 together, and we get 3 + 0 = 3.

The Number 3

The Number 3 — Literally, the number three can represent March, which may be the month of your new arrival. 3 o’clock or 3 weeks or years from now are also possibilities. Multiples of 3 can also be considered, like 2021. In Christianity the number 3 would represent the Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost which are omnipresent and anywhere and everywhere, through space and time. The Pythagoreans thought that 3 was the first true number. It’s also symbolic of triangles, it’s the first number to form a geometric shape. In fairy tales and religious rituals things are often said or done three times. We use the expression, “third time’s the charm!” We also count to three when we want to do something in synchronicity. It’s a very powerful number. Three colors of light are needed to make all other colors of light, three colors of paint are needed to make all other colors of paint.

Three is a very lucky number for a lot of people. Musical Artist Chance the Rapper wears a “3” on his baseball cap, and says it’s to signify, the Holy Trinity, his 3 person family, his 3 grammies, and his 3rd project. There are mentions of 3 in sports as well. If a horse wins all three major derbies, it conquers the “Triple Crown.” If a bowler hits three strikes in a row, it’s called a “turkey.” Many folks who have luck with the number 3 find that they continue to have good luck on the 13th ad 30th as well. If you’re not sure what your lucky numbers are, or if 3 is one of them (it likely is), you should find out what they are as soon as possible to ensure that you have as lucky of a future as possible. Have you ever heard the saying “comes in threes”? it’s important that you know if 3 is a lucky number for you, because if it isn’t, you need to be prepared for your ship to bring bad news, possibly in threes.

When it refers to the stork and child cards, the 3 is likely trying to indicate that the time of the arrival will be the third week, third month, or third year. It could also be your third child. It’s also possible that it may be three children, as in three adopted children, or triplet babies.
