Summary: The Stork is a symbol of upgrades and transformation. Storks are migratory birds that often symbolize physical relocation, but more commonly, they represent personal or spiritual migration—a process of redefining oneself. This card typically suggests an elevation toward something better. Such changes influence your choices and actions, as inner transformation gradually shapes external circumstances. Additionally, in some cultures, the Stork is known as the baby-bringer, meaning that in specific readings, this card can indicate pregnancy, especially when appearing with the Child card.
