There is nothing mystical in this, if you don’t feel 100% well you
will not be able to concentrate fully. I don’t know many people
who would be entirely comfortable in a thunderstorm, with or without a Tarot reading going on and in the best Summer weather most folks would rather be in the fresh air than indoors with a pack of cards, so one of you will have their mind elsewhere.
A quick reading based on the Zodiac may be obtained by asking the querent to select thirteen cards at random from the shuffled deck and placing these as before, one for each House and one for the centre, you may obtain an indication of the trends.
Past, Present, Future.
First choose a card from among the Court cards to represent the querent, this is referred to as the Significator. Generally, Kings represent men,Queens - women, Princes - young men, Princesses - young women or children. Wands for red and golden hair, Cups for fair hair, Swords for dark or black hair and Discs (Pentacles) for brown hair.
Seperate the Major Arcana from the Minor Arcana and hand all fifty-six Minor Arcana cards to the querent who should shuffle, cut and hand the cards back to you. Keeping them in order, take the top twelve cards from this stack and lay the remainder aside for the moment.
Shuffle the Major Arcana cards and spread these face down asking the querent to select first four and then a further three at random from the spread. Keep these in order of choosing so that you now have three heaps of 12, 4 and 3 cards respectively.
Lay the 12 Minor Arcana cards at positions on the outer ring
