[For instance, for your Topic Card you might pick Heart for love, Fish for money, Tree for health, etc.] 3) Shuffle and lay the rest of the cards FACE DOWN starting with top left (position 1) down to bottom right (position 9) - like the numbers on a phone keypad. TURN UP THE FOUR CORNERS ONLY!! (Leave cards 2, 4, 6 and 8 face down.) 4) Read each of the four corner cards paired with the center card - making the center the Noun/ Subject and modifying it with the corner cards as adjective, verb or development. Limit paired meanings to two to four words. [For instance: Fish+Stork = Improved finances.] 5+1: 5+3: 5+7: 5+9: 5) Read the corners that mirror each other diagonally as pairs: 1+9: 3+7:
6) Read the top/bottom pairs: 1+7: 3+9: 7) Using this information, respond to your question with a statement that starts with the center card and proceeds in the following order: 5, 1, 3, 7, 9. Keep the sentence simple. [For instance: "Advice regarding my money issue (Fish-in-center) is . . ."] 5, 1, 3, 7, 9: WAIT 8 HOURS OR MORE BEFORE PROCEEDING. Don't look at the other four cards until this time is up.
At this point you may have your answer and can stop, or you can continue reading the same cards. The next two parts of the exercise involve knighting, which is not used by everyone and therefore can be considered optional and more advanced.
What do cards 2 and 6 tell you about the card 7 "cause"? 2) Card 3 shows the future affect arising from the card 7 cause. It knights to Cards 4&8 showing hidden attitudes or agendas that influenced the effect. 1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9
3) Card 1 is a past cause of the situation about which you couldn't do anything. It knights to cards 6&8 indicating underlying desires, motivations or concerns affecting that cause. 1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9
What do 6 and 8 tell you about the card 1 "cause"? 4) Card 9 shows a future effect, over which you have some control, arising from the card 1 cause. It knights to cards 2&4 showing hidden attitudes or agendas that influenced the effect. 1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9
What do 2 and 4 tell you about the card 9 "effect"? What else did you learn by doing this? This information may be redundant and not add anything to what you already have learned, but it's worth trying at least once.
How does card 2 affect your past and future choices in cards 7 & 9?
How do cards 1 and 3 affect card 8 (or vice versa)? 3) Card 4 is a quality or characteristic of the past. It knights cards 3&9. 1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9
How is card 4 projecting itself into the future, through cards 3 and 9? 4) Card 6, is your future focus. It knights cards 1&7. 1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9
Card 6 is a result of what prior attitudes and energies represented by 1 and 7 - what are they? 5) Finally, there is a secret pattern linking all the squares into a unicursal 8-pointed star that is revealed via the knighting sequence. This will give you a final summary statement. Read the cards as a story in the following sequence: 2, 7, 6, 1, 8, 3, 4, 9. Include the position 5 Topic Card as often as needed in your story. Try all four parts of this exercise with one or two more questions (no need to stop between parts). Do a reading for someone else. After that, forget these rules and do what makes sense to you. For Fun: To make a unicursal 8-pointed star: draw a 3x3 table and place a point in the center of each box, then draw a line from point to point staring with position 2 and continuing: 7, 6, 1, 8, 3, 4, 9, and back to 2. You'll have an 8-pointed star without having to lift your pen. Notice that each point knights the one before and after it.
