corresponding to Houses 1 to 12 in order. If the Significator is
amongst them, place it in the centre of The Map and ask the
querent to select, as before, one Major Arcana card to take its
Place on the outer circle. If the Significator is not present among the twelve chosen Minor Arcana, search it out from the discarded deck and place it in the centre of The Map.
Take the stack of 4 Major Arcana and lay these in order (on an inner circle on The Map), first next to House 1, second next to House 10, third next to House 7 and the fourth next to House 4.
Finally, take the stack of 3 cards and place them to form a triangle (again within the square of four on The Map), the first at House 12, the second at House 8 and the last at House 4.
The twelve outermost cards represent the evolution of the event or question denoted by the four-square Major Arcana cards - I = the beginning, II = the climax, III = the obstacles, IV = the outcome or ending. The inner triangle indicates; A = the past, B = the present,
C = the future, all as relevant to the question.
The full reading is obtained thus:
I in conjunction with 1, 12 and 11
II in conjunction with 10, 9, 8
III in conjunction with 7, 6, 5
IV in conjunction with 4, 3, 2
A with 1, 2, 3 - the past
B with 4, 5, 6, 7, - the present
C with 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 - the future.
