Understanding the Layout & Positioning of the Cards
Position/House #1
Represents the Querent at the moment in time.
This card represents the Querent as they present at that time. It may indicate life circumstances or something that has been on the Querent’s mind lately. More often than not, this card is symbolic for the Querent themselves.
Position/House #2
Immediate Influences
Shows the sphere of the influences or obstacles that are occurring now or are just ahead in the immediate future for the Querent that are going for or against the Querent.
Position/House #3
Here and Now
Most recent circumstances in the Querent’s life. This can include events and circumstances from last week to next week and maybe a little more either side. This is the right here, right now information.
Position/House #4
Past Influences
This is information about the past. The decisions, circumstances, or situations that made an impact in the direction that the Querent has undertaken. As this is about the past – we may or may not need to talk about it. Personally, I use the house more for confirmation that I have made a connection with the Querent.
Position/House #5
Messages from Spirit
I personally use this House as a way to connect to the Querents Guides and Spirit Folk. All the other Houses are about the detail or the everyday stuff and potential directions in relation to the everyday stuff of what is going on. This Houses is more the energetic “FEEL” about what Spirit want them to know or what Spirit are acknowledging.
Position/House#6
Immediate Future
The influences and situations that are coming into being. The near future events and current direction should the Querent continue along their current path. The time frame is usually approximately 6-8 weeks. TIP: It can help to look for what numbers jump out at you here to give an indication of time.
Position/House #7
Head Space
This House represent the Querents thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes in their current circumstances. REMEMBER: the mind is a powerful thing.
Position/House#8
Surrounding or Outside Influences
This shows the influences currently impacting the Querent. It may indicate people having an impact or how the Querent is impacting upon others.
Position/House #9
The Heart Space
This is what the heart is feeling. Sometimes it includes hidden desires and fears. It is important to check that the Head and the Heart are congruent. TIP: recommend reading the Head and the Heart consecutively.
Position/House #10
The Final Outcome or Destination
The final results of the current situation and circumstances should the Querent continue along their suggested or current trajectory. Generally, this is within a 6-12 month time frame – depending of course on the intention you set prior to commencing the reading.
**All advice, suggestions, information, and readings are fluid and changeable.
****Anything raised or suggested DOES NOT replace medical or legal advice. For information required about health or legal matters – Querent must seek professional medical and/or legal advice.
