What the Man means
The Man represents the querent if the querent is male, or an important man in the querent’s life, often a partner, husband or close male figure. In a line, the cards around him describe his situation, mood and intentions. The cards he faces show where his attention goes; the ones behind him show what he is leaving or not looking at. In a Grand Tableau, his position is a key anchor for the entire reading. The Man itself is neutral, taking its meaning from neighbors. It can also point to active, outward energy: initiative, directness and decisiveness.
The image
A man stands as a figure of identity, usually drawn facing one direction. He is the person around whom the reading turns. It is an image of presence and perspective: where someone is looking, which way they are moving, and what lies behind them.
In love
The Man represents the male partner or love interest. The cards around him show his feelings and intentions. For singles, he may be someone you are interested in. For couples, his position and the direction he faces show how he relates to the relationship right now.
At work
A significant man at work, such as a colleague, boss or client, or you yourself if you are a man. The surrounding cards describe how his work is going, what pressures he faces, and where he is directing his energy and ambition.
Money
His financial situation is described by the nearby cards. The Man shows who is involved in money matters and how his choices may affect yours.
As a person
A significant man in your life, or you yourself if you identify as the man in the reading.
Man combinations
In Lenormand the first card is the subject and the second describes it. As a subject, the Man is the man in question; as a describing card it means involving a significant man.

Advice
Notice where his attention goes and what he is turning away from. Read his actions alongside his words.
