Positive, negative and neutral Lenormand cards
Lenormand: Polarity is a declared reading aid for weighing supportive, challenging and context-dependent cards.
Overview
Polarity is a declared reading aid for weighing supportive, challenging and context-dependent cards; it is not an objective score and different schools may classify cards differently. The Positive, negative and neutral Lenormand cards steps and worked example below keep that distinction visible in an actual reading or comparison.

Direct answer
Polarity is a declared reading aid for weighing supportive, challenging and context-dependent cards; it is not an objective score and different schools may classify cards differently.
Use Positive, negative and neutral Lenormand cards with a Reading method method chosen before the cards or evidence are visible. Keep the first reading in writing instead of selecting a preferred meaning afterward.
How to apply the method
Declare the rule before the draw, preserve card order and tie every phrase to a visible card or position.
For Positive, negative and neutral Lenormand cards, write the rule in one sentence before drawing or comparing evidence; unresolved inputs stay unresolved.
Worked verification
In a three-card yes-or-no exercise, declare Sun and Key supportive, Mountain challenging and Clouds context-dependent before drawing. If one supportive, one challenging and one neutral card appears, the result is unclear under that rule. Do not reclassify the neutral card after seeing that a tie is inconvenient.
A second check for Positive, negative and neutral Lenormand cards uses cards 14 Fox, 21 Mountain and 33 Key in that fixed order. Fox contributes “Watchfulness and self-interest call for checking who benefits and whether a smooth appearance is reliable.” Mountain contributes “A substantial obstacle or delay must be climbed, removed or routed around rather than rushed.” Key contributes “Access or a possible solution identifies the factor worth clarifying first because it may unlock progress.”
Apply only the Reading method rule stated on Positive, negative and neutral Lenormand cards: first identify the role of Fox, then show exactly how Mountain changes it, and finally state what Key adds or limits. Save that sentence beside the original question so the drill can be repeated without reconstructing the story from memory.
