Request for Reaction Layout interpretation.

1Goldiegoddess

asks the following question on the Ask my Cards blog:

Hi Madame Seaqueen,

Have the Zigeuner cards have done the Reaction card layout. I am very lost my cards read like this;
SITUATION – Enemy
LEAVING – Death
COMMING – Journey
REACTION – WIDOW
I cant understand what there trying to tell me, if you could shed some light that would be great.

1. Situation:  

The enemy cards suggests a situation is around you which appears to be not in your best interest.  It could be someone who is not what they seem.  More than likely these circumstances have a way of lingering on with us even realizing it.  Often emotional strings still remain even if the person or situation has left our immediate lifestyle.

2. Leaving:

The death card is either welcomed or feared.  Since it falls in the spot of energy departing out of your life this means that something (job) or someone (relationship) no longer serves a good purpose in your life and it is just as well it is leaving.  The death card suggests the elimination of things which no longer are productive or fruitful like a dead end job or relationship.

3.  Coming:

What’s coming towards you is the journey card.  It can indicate actual travel (trip or change in location) away from that something or someone which is slowly passing out of your life.  If you move (home or job) you will have new beginning but will more than likely have to sever some ties of past familiarity.  People and situations are in our lifestyle but when change comes knocking on the door (as is represented by the death card) we usually say good bye to aspects of certain connections.

The journey card is good energy.

4.  Reaction: 

Even though the widow card doesn’t give the impression it is one of great joyous reaction it means you could feel down about some things happening.  It also suggests making new connections which as an outsider initially are challenging to do.  As a reaction card the widow suggests you will be just fine but shouldn’t push anything -let it flow naturally and whatever the cycle is it will develop into a new one within a few months.

Question for You:

In your comment you stated you didn’t understand what the cards are trying to tell you.  Does the interpretation shed some light?  Can you apply some of the explanation to any areas of your life?   Let me know.

 

 

Creating a new Layout

A new layout is easy to create. 

1. Decide how many cards you want in a Layout.
2. Assign meanings to the positions in the Layout.
3. Select a time frame for the Layout or just certain positions.
4. Get your favorite deck and lay them out according to your new Layout.
5. Grab a notebook or do a post on your blog with your findings.
6. Test your Layout by comparing the accuracy rate within the designated time.

Introducing the Reaction Card Layout.  

Very simple to use.

Reaction Card Layout

1. SITUATION:

The card falling in position #1 will reveal to you the essence of your question.  If you were not consciously thinking of a question, this spot will suggest to you what area of life you should consider contemplating on.  

2. LEAVING:

An influence or person is about to leave the current scenario. It could be an experience which is just passing that makes way for something new that is about to enter your life.

3.  COMING:

The card falling in this position will give you clues around your question or add more information to the Situation card.  Here we will find influences that are just about to happen.

4.  REACTION:

Similar to an outcome card the final position will suggest how you will response to the results of the Situation question or circumstance.  Often the last card will be a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer.

reading the trigger layout

 

simple tutorial reading for a Female

TRIGGER ROW.  CROSS, LADY, SUN, SNAKE

The Lady card with the X represents the female getting the reading.  We can see that she was going through a challenging time recently CROSS.  It was a time for some decisions which affected her emotions MOON quite deeply but these circumstances didn’t last long CLOVER.

The female will be entering quite a pleasant time SUN whereby she will maintain her optimism despite the heaviness of the CROSS associations.  She will actually tap into her own intellectual power depicted by the SNAKE card.  This female is no dummy despite the losses indicated by MOUSE in the 2nd column.

1. PAST COLUMN.  CLOVER, CROSS, MOON

In the recent past something came up rather suddenly CLOVER which placed additional responsibility CROSS on the female.  She did a lot of soul searching and tried to come to terms with her feelings MOON about the situation.  

It is not clear by the cards what this situation was.  It may just be day to day circumstances which she is emotionally MOON connected to and there is a hint of work associations within the CROSS card.

2. NOW COLUMN. HOME, LADY, MOUSE

Here we have a little more information where these emotions MOON stem from.  The situation is around the family/home base HOUSE.  It could involve a family member or things pertaining to her place of residence.  

Whatever this situation is there will be some loss MOUSE associated with it.  She will certainly find out about it real soon RIDER.  It is important to understand all that is within the MOON card.  It looks like a disappointment is heading into this female’s life regarding a family matter HOUSE.   The cards strongly suggest her mother will be involved in some sort of emotional loss.  

3.  IMMEDIATE COLUMN.  KEY, SUN, RIDER

Help is on it’s way through finding solutions KEY to whatever is bothering this female.  More information   is needed as well as more time to discover all the facts.  The news is on it’s way RIDER.  Depending what time frame you use for this spot will determine approximately when all this will be revealed.  

The RIDER will bring news of the loss depicted by the MOUSE which is connected to the mother MOON.  The final card in the last column is GARDEN/PARK will be the response or reaction.  Much depends on the interpretation of the SNAKE card.

4. SOON COLUMN.  BIRDS, SNAKE, GARDEN

As far as determining a time frame we can look to the BIRDS card to represent ‘2′.  It can be within 2 days which is unlikely but I would think within 2 weeks would be more reasonable.  But it can be ‘2′ months if you assigned a longer range for the final column.  You need to decide prior to shuffling for time frames.

One very common interpretation for combining BIRDS + SNAKE is a nervous stomach or bowel discomfort.  I checked with the female if she was aware of such a condition involving her mother MOON.  She said no but stated her father was experiencing major problems.  Then it dawned on me that I had not factored the SUN card to represent a father or father figure which I normally do.

Ahh. Now it all makes sense.  So how does the GARDEN fit into all of this?  It could be a public place such as a hospital or medical clinic although there are no back up cards for this deductions.  I’m going on a gut feeling which is what can occur when you read the cards.

Cartomancy does expand your psychic awareness if you pay attention to the way your body reacts to certain themes.  You will get a knowing.

Zigeuner *gipsy* cards in now column

The Zigeuner Wahrsagekarten deck is one of my long time favorites probably predating my fondness of the Lenormand style decks….and that’s a long, long time.

In our example the Sweetheart represents a female. The cards selected for the NOW column are as follows.

* Message * Sweetheart * Widow *

Zigeuner Wahrsagekarten displayed to illustrate Simple Trigger Layout

Position 2 – top card

-  carries the baggage or continuation of position 8 (bottom of column 1) of the PAST COLUMN.  In essence, what is revealed is the consequences. Any card falling in this spot will be on the person’s mind or it will describe a situation if you did not use the SWEETHEART or LOVER (Zigeuner deck in this example) cards to represent the YOU spot.

MESSAGE

-in the recent past the female would have been involved in some sort of situation which resulted in further news to arrive. These days much of the information is electronic or verbal.  A message is a message no matter how it comes. 

-if this were to be news related to business or career the female would still be preoccupied with it.

SWEETHEART

-the female is thinking about the news she just received, perhaps even on the same day of the shuffle.  We do not know why this news came because we cannot see the other cards.  Nor do we know where this news leads in the next few weeks or month.  We do know it probably is not the greatest news because we can see the WIDOW beneath her.

Position 9* – bottom card

-this card is a little different in that it represents the day of the reading, up to 24 hours.  In a way it is the resulting actions or circumstance of what is on the mind of the YOU person.

WIDOW

-there are several ways to interpret the WIDOW card.  It can mean the female of the reading received news of a break up in her relationship, she could have heard of a death or she is just gravely disappointed in some information.  The WIDOW card also represents a more mature woman age wise.  She could be a member of the family.  I see her closely associated to the Tarot Queen of Swords and to some degree the Lenormand Bouquet card but only in personality.

-if the cards suggested a business related theme, the WIDOW card would strongly suggest little assistance.  In fact it can indicate management ability, being in control or overseeing a project.  At this point everything is speculation with only part of the reading showing.

The WIDOW’s influence is imminent.  You will experience card #9 faster than you think.

In continuation:

Position 3 – next column

- this card represents  the root or foundation of the IMMEDIATE  COLUMN.

Here you will find out how or why the IMMEDIATE TRIGGER CARD will come to pass. Part of this position is an extension of position 9* (widow)

This column is in transit.  What this means is if you like what you seeing in the SOON COLUMN then don’t make unnecessary waves.  If you see great challenges or hardships coming up then you could change your direction by studying the 3rd column.

Whatever card is in position 3 (to the right of the LETTER card, top row) it will continue the story of the WIDOW card. Here you will find out if this is an emotionally devastating position or if it is a person’s influence.

Maybe the mother-in-law is coming for a visit?

Maybe you didn’t get the job you wanted.

Maybe you are just feeling temporarily down in the dumps.

soon column – card 7 Trigger

Final Trigger card 

The final TRIGGER position in the SOON COLUMN is a culmination of the cards

in the TRIGGER ROW. 

When you scan PAST, YOU, IMMEDIATE and SOON Trigger cards it holds the answer in a nutshell.  If no question was asked, the cards revealed in this row will describe a situation you need to address whether you want to or not (it would be a direction from your subconscious).

 

Wait. You aren't remembering.

Let’s suppose you are using the Tarot deck in the Simple Trigger Layout and the High Priestess falls as card 7, the final trigger card.  She represents the culmination of the previous cards in the Trigger row.  At this point we do not have any other information about the reading since she is the target of this post.  Enough is known about the teachings of the High Priestess to offer a summary of her influence. Under the rulership of the moon, she is warning you that there is more to come.  You are not seeing something…

The cards above and below her in the Soon Column are the contributing factors.  They will show you the worlds she has chosen to deliver her message.  If other Majors accompany her in the Column the outcome is predestined and you are a minor player in the scheme of things.

If the Minors join her in the Soon Column you can determine the vehicle her lessons come through.  In this example of illustration the focus is on the High Priestess as a Trigger card.  Her advice is to hold off on any major decisions until you get more information.  She stresses the fact that you are probably are overlooking something you have forgotten.

Sometimes we block what we already know and have the answers.  When we doubt ourselves we look for someone else to approve our feelings and thoughts.  The High Priestess is asking you to look within before accepting other people’s information.  Should the dilemma be a situation beyond one’s control the circumstances are a manifestation to teach you what you already know.

In this spot of the layout much has already happened and depending on the time frames you have given to the IMMEDIATE and SOON COLUMNS it could be within a short time.  The final trigger card will either give you a certain result or provide advice you should follow.

Study the High Priestess to see what she means to you.

what’s the fate line all about

Do you have an interest in learning about the FATE/DESTINY  LINE

INSIDE  or ON THE LIFE LINE

The fate line starting inside or on the life line suggest some difficulty establishing a career direction in younger years. There will be challenges/pressure coming from the parent’s expectations. This person can be torn between duty towards the family and one’s independence to do what they really want to.  Often they are lured into a family business.

Example of Simple Elements Layout reading

The question:  Will Lady X get the job she applied for?

Since we have a question for the Simple Elements Layout it is important to keep this in mind when interpreting the 4 cards in their respective positions.  The deck illustrated is the Universal Tarot and is done so to demonstrate this tutorial example.  If you like this deck please go to the publisher’s website to purchase it.  The vibrancy of color does not show up on the King as my focus on the camera was not the best .

1.  Current THOUGHTS

The card that falls in this spot will reveal to you where the energy of your thoughts is. It does not matter which  [way]you selected to do this reading.

What are you really thinking at the time of shuffle?   If you selected a question the card falling here will reveal what’s on your mind.  In this case, position 2 YOUR FEELINGS will show how you reacted about the question.

 

9 Wands

 

We know the question.  Lady X is apprehensive in learning the outcome of this question and what the results will be in the real life situation.  We can see that she has not had it easy in her job search but she remains focused.  Her thought patterns are filled with the energy of the Wands.  She is thinking about the odds of getting the job she applied for.

She is being realistic about the possible competition for this job but in her mind she knows she cannot give up.

2. Your FEELINGS

The second card will expose the emotions going on.  The feelings can range.  

Here you will find out where you are at on an emotional level.  If this card is challenging it will provide within it clues. Maybe you aren’t even aware you feel a certain way.  Often we become numb or stuck in a rut and think there isn’t anything wrong.  When you experience a certain awareness within you will be able to compare with a time when you did feel differently.

King Swords

The King of Swords reveals the Lady X is cut off from her emotions.  She is in tight control of her reactions during this waiting process of finding out if she has landed this new job or not.  The King in this spot suggests she is clearly focused on an intellectual level.  Somewhere in her past experiences she has learned to be aloof or indifferent in her job search.  Actually, this could be a very good protective mechanism when one receives many rejections.  

3. Plan of ACTION

The card that has been placed here will provide options or a suggestive energy to apply directly connected to cards #1 &  #2.  This is what you should do.  Depending on which card falls here, a way to the solution will be shown.  If you see a card of strong inaction and you do not change that then do not be surprised if the result in card #4 is negative or not to your liking.  Of course there are times when no action is the best course but you will have to intuitively determine that yourself.

Queen Wands

 

The Queen of Wands is a card of action.  She represents a woman who is focused on business (in relation to our question).  Lady X needs to look at other job opportunities as well and not count on landing the position she has applied for.  The important message of the Queen is to apply more energy in her search and not to just sit back.

I think Lady X is represented by this Queen and she has excellent business skills.

4. What can HAPPEN 

The last card is the result, outcome or probable solution.  Here you will find what happens when you apply action coupled with emotions regarding something on your mind.  The previous cards will be very beneficial to you because within each card is a promise for success regardless if initially it appears negative.  You have a choice in most areas of your life.  This card will show you the by-product of your efforts.

The Devil

Surprise, surprise our friend the Devil is here telling us Lady X will have some tough decisions to make.  Despite some of the negative associations of this card, it is allowing us to peek into what can happen when she gets the job she is asking about.

I do not see this card as a no answer.  Actually, I see it saying yes with a catch.  She will be jumping through the corporate hoops.  It is up to her whether she will accept or not.   I think Lady X should think twice about making any commitment because in the long run, the Devil card will teach lessons of emotional and intellectual freedom within the confines of an open and shut opportunity.

Your Feelings – #15 DEVIL

When the DEVIL #15 falls in the 2nd spot of the Simple Elements Layout we are studying the feelings of the person getting the reading.  If this is a self-reading, you will be analyzing your emotions in relation to the question. If no question was asked the 2nd spot will reveal how you are feeling at the time of the shuffle.

The Devil is one of the major arcana cards belonging to the traditional Tarot cards.  

 

traditional Rider Tarot

This card certainly gives you the feeling of being out of emotional control.  You might be feeling guilty about something or feeling a certain way but can’t shake it.  Often the DEVIL is a reminder to take things a little lighter and to remind yourself that you are a slave to your emotions by choice.  This card means many other things when falling in other spots but in this position it indicates a rut.

Sometimes we wrap ourselves around certain emotions and cannot let go.  To feel good and uplifted all the time would be the norm.  We would not know this more positive aspect unless we had gone a few rounds with the devil and experienced his (it’s) influence.

Perhaps you identify more with the devil than one of the individuals in the image.  Maybe you are riled up and feeling like a prankster.  

There are so many different degrees of emotions.  

I think what is important is your perception of this card in this spot.  It has very powerful imagery which can trigger all kinds of things in you.

For example, if you had no conscious question in mind when you selected the DEVIL card it could be telling you that you are not dealing with some reaction or response to a situation.  You are not being honest with yourself and maybe you are just pretending a problem doesn’t exist.  

Many times this position will reveal what you really feel.  The DEVIL card can suggest you aren’t taken things seriously enough.  This card need not be negative.

Another way to look at it is that you really do ‘feel’ behind the 8 ball and have given up on hoping for anything different.  If this is the case look to position #3 Plan of Action to find out how you overcome the current emotional state and where it will lead you (#4 What can Happen).

The majority of things in our lives can be changed.  They change only when we adopt a new attitude or a new emotional outlook.

example- Tarot in SE layout

Now I would like to illustrate a reading using the Simple Elements Layout.   I’m not going to go into any great detail about the card’s meanings because this blog is about understanding the positions or spots of the layouts.  I will use some key phrases to describe the card.  

Each position in this layout is a full reading unto itself as each spot rules the 4 levels we live in.

For the purpose of the tutorial example I am using the Universal Tarot.  It is being displayed to demonstrate the connectivity of the positions.  If you like this deck please buy it from  the distributor.

Universal Tarot

POSITION 1 (top card) – YOUR THOUGHTS.  2 of Swords.

In our example, the person is mentally torn.  He/she is thinking of making a decision.  A situation has come up that is weighing down on the individuals thoughts.  In fact, they may have decided not to choose anything which is in itself a decision.  

POSITION 2 (center left) – YOUR FEELING.  6 of Swords.

How are they feeling about their state of mind?  Looks like their emotions are linked to any place but where they are.  They could be wishing the situation to go away or they are pretending it doesn’t exist.  Part of them is wanting to travel. They feel the need for someone to rescue them.

POSITION 3 (center right) – PLAN OF ACTION.  Knave of Pentacles.

What are they suppose to do?  In this card we see that more focus is needed. A decision must be made.  Position 3 offers advice.  The Knave of Pentacles is saying, ‘hey try this course, it might help or why don’t you go on the business trip.’  Some additional revenue could be made as well.   The PLAN OF ACTION is to start something which is productive and don’t sit on the fence for too long.

POSITION 4 (bottom card) – WHAT CAN HAPPEN.  #9 The Hermit.

One of the meanings of HERMIT is study but mostly in as a solo act.  He can be a teacher or mentor which will come into the person’s life to help.   If the person utilizes the opportunities given by  the KNAVE of PENTACLES she/he will gain much wisdom as the outcome.   The blindfold comes off (2 of Swords) when the HERMIT makes his appearance.  The feelings of escape are neutralized.

This was a very brief example of how the positions lead to each other.

What is on your mind?

The first top card.

CURRENT THOUGHTS - 

The card that falls in this spot will reveal to you where the energy of your thoughts is. It does not matter which  [way]you selected to do this reading.

What are you really thinking at the time of shuffle?   If you selected a question the card falling here will reveal what’s on your mind.  In this case, position 2 YOUR FEELINGS will show how you reacted about the question.

When no question is asked, the first can can be an eye opener because you may not even know you are thinking about what is represented by the card is this position.

For example,  let’s say that the Tarot DEATH card sits here.  At first this card can startle you. Don’t worry you aren’t going to die.  Many say it is not a physical death but I say it certainly is a card of death when coupled with other cards showing struggles or misfortunes.

Maybe you are thinking about death.  I do this all the time and not in a morbid way but because I happen to believe in afterlife.  Maybe someone just died and you are thinking about them.  It could be you have given up on something (a mini death) and changed your focus in another direction.  You could have lost your job – the death of flow in paycheck.

All 4 cards of the Simple Elements Layout are intricately woven together by a common ground thread.  YOUR PLAN OF ACTION, position 3 card (center right) will offer advice or a solution on how to deal with the situation involving your thoughts connected to the Death card.

Your emotional state

YOUR FEELINGS - 

The second card will expose the emotions going on.  The feelings can range.  

Here you will find out where you are at on an emotional level.  If this card is challenging it will provide within it clues.  Maybe you aren’t even aware you feel a certain way.  Often we become numb or stuck in a rut and think there isn’t anything wrong.  When you experience a certain awareness within you will be able to compare with a time when you did feel differently.

I pay close attention to the card that falls here because without an emotional backing even the more positive cards can’t bring change.  Let me explain what I mean.  Let’s say the Tarot 10 of SWORDS  is sitting here.  This would show a painful emotional state.  If the WHAT CAN HAPPEN card is the SUN we know the outcome will be a very good and uplifting answer or result.  The person who is in a state of grieving would not see the SUN card as an improvement unless they first recognize that they are not happy currently. In the process of grieving one does not always realize they are grieving.  

Outcome card

Position 4, bottom card from the Simple Elements Layout.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN - 

The last card is the result, outcome or probable solution.  Here you will find what happens when you apply action coupled with emotions regarding something on your mind.  The previous cards will be very beneficial to you because within each card is a promise for success regardless if initially it appears negative.  You have a choice in most areas of your life.  This card will show you the by-product of your efforts.

*The Trigger Row*

The Trigger Row includes the following:

• position 5
  
• YOU
  
• position 6
  
• position 7

Position 5 Trigger – PAST COLUMN

- after experiencing the root or foundational influences of the position 1, you are faced with the aura of the experience in the Trigger position card.

Here you will find a person or situation.  This card is behind the YOU person meaning it is a significant circumstance.  One must analyze position 8 to find out the resulting reactions.

For example, if we find the LENORMAND COFFIN card as the PAST TRIGGER we know something has come to a conclusion.  It can be an ending which is very natural or it can be traumatic.  Position 8 will tell you the initial resulting response.

Position YOU Trigger -NOW COLUMN

-this card is a little different in that it represents the person getting the reading, an absent representation for another individual or for the more advanced students of this system -a situation. 

The reading will begin HERE.  Actually the Trigger row is read, PAST, YOU, IMMEDIATE and SOON.  I know this sounds confusing but it is not, it is common sense.   You need to know who YOU is to be to interpret the cards properly.

Position 6 Trigger – IMMEDIATE COLUMN

-here the  YOU person is stepping into a scenario or circumstance within a few days or weeks (depending on the TIME you assign prior to shuffling).

Let’s use another LENORMAND card  to expand on the COFFIN in the past trigger position.  If the SCYTHE falls here you know there is a break up some sort to happen.  The Coffin may be ending but the Scythe will make sure it is over. 

The Scythe is your IMMEDIATE EXPERIENCE.

Position 7 Trigger- SOON COLUMN

- if the Trigger card is negative, what was thought to be a negative result (of the TRIGGER ROW cards)  will turn out good if the last card is positive.  The reverse is true as well. 

The final TRIGGER position in the SOON COLUMN is a culmination of the cards in the TRIGGER ROW.  For example, using the Lenormand card HEART in position 7 Trigger we can see a new opportunity coming in a few weeks or months.  This could be connected to romance. Of course, the root card and final outcome will be the co-contributors to the HEARTs meaning.  

When you scan PAST, YOU, IMMEDIATE and SOON Trigger cards it holds  the answer in a nutshell.  If no question was asked, the cards revealed in this row will describe a situation you need to address whether you want to or not.

It would be a direction from your subconscious.

example- soon column

 

Old Gypsy fortune telling cards -Soon Column

 

In this example, I will explore the possibilities of the SOON COLUMN (the last, darker shaded one) I am using the Old Gypsy fortune telling cards from 1940. 

Position 4 – #9 FOX

- this card represents  the root or foundation of the SOON  COLUMN.

In continuation of the theme of the layout you will find an overlay from position 10 – #32 Lightning.

Here you will find out how or why the SOON TRIGGER CARD will mostly likely manifest if no action is taken to improve or avoid the influences described by the IMMEDIATE COLUMN.

At this point, without reviewing the entire reading and only factoring position 10 – #32 Lightning we can tell a surprise was experienced in the last few days or weeks depending on the ‘TIME’ you assign to the columns prior to shuffling.  The cards in the IMMEDIATE COLUMN do not appear to be negative, in fact on the contrary.  

The FOX as the root of this column is a warning.   A person or situation is involved which required careful consideration or re-evaluation.  The surprise element of position 10- LIGHTNING has unfolded.  One must be alert.

Position 7 Trigger- #19 Clasped Hands

-the trigger row is yet to be detailed in another post.  This position  is the result of the row which includes position 5, YOU and position 6.

Taken by itself the position 7 trigger card is very positive.  It indicates an offer  friendship which comes from position 6 Trigger – #15 The King.  We know the YOU person received a message (position 5 Trigger – #13 The Letter)

Position 11 – #16 Lilies

-after experiencing the SOON TRIGGER CARD (#19 Clasped Hands) comes the final outcome.  Within this card you will find the answer.  If the Trigger card is negative, what was thought to be a negative result (of the TRIGGER ROW cards)  will turn out good if the last card is positive.  The reverse is true as well. 

This position can leave you hanging as well.     (in our example the answer is clear)

Traditional association with The Lilies card is a long and happy life.  As the last card and the final outcome & because it lies UNDERNEATH the YOU card there is a hint of  guarded happiness.  

The SOON COLUMN is strongly suggesting a temptation to some type of relationship which could lead to a satisfactory experience.  Despite the fact FOX has appeared in this column I think it means to study the surprise or unexpected circumstances around the KING card.  This does not mean the male depicted by the KING cannot be trusted.  This could mean to consider an intellectual choice – HEAD SHOULD RULE OVER EMOTIONS.

example- position of advice

 

CARD #3 - Plan of action.  

“The card that has been placed here will provide options or a suggestive energy to apply directly connected to cards #1 & #2.  This is what you should do.  Depending on which card falls here, a way to the solution will be shown.  If you see a card of inaction and you do not change that then do not be surprised if the result in card #4 is negative or not to your liking.  Of course there are times when no action is the best course but you will have to intuitively determine that yourself.”

To illustrate position 3 in the Simple Elements Layout I have selected the Ace of Spades.

Ace of Spades- Air

.First of all let’s assign some common meanings to this ACE so that we can continue to study it in the Plan of Action position.

Here are some suggestions- DECISION, BEGINNING OF AN IDEA, DEATH, INTELLECTUAL EMPOWERMENT AND LARGE BUILDING. These are some of the popular associations with the standard playing card Ace of Spades. Your meanings can vary.

…a way to the solution will be shown… 

Right away you know that a totally different approach or attitude is necessary.  The advice of the Ace of Spades is telling you to make a DECISION or simple as getting off your butt and starting at something, anything.

Maybe you need to go to ‘that large building’ for some reason and are putting it off.  The large building can be a courthouse, a library, an office high rise, a trailer park, a hotel, etc.

Position 3 is also encouraging you to utilize the intellectual power of the Ace by using the concentration and focus lessons of this card.

-the advice is to go forward-

More can be determined when all 4 cards are blended.
