Meaning
The Birds represent communication — conversations, phone calls, messages, gossip and chatter. They can also bring a flutter of nervousness or restlessness, the kind that comes with anticipation. Traditionally, they show a couple or two of something. Listen carefully to what's being said, and to what's only being whispered.
Love & relationships
Lively conversations, flirting by text, or a couple talking things through. Nervous excitement is in the air.
Work & money
Meetings, calls, negotiations and networking. Watch out for gossip and overthinking.
Advice
Speak up and talk it through — but don't let nerves do the talking.
As a house in the Grand Tableau
The House of the Birds shows conversations, communication and what people are saying.
As a person
A talkative, sociable or anxious person — or a pair of people, such as siblings or an older couple.
