The Trigger Layout

Give it a try. Its a micro GT.

The YOU card has been pre-selected. The LADY card represents the woman (M) getting the
reading. She may have had some questions on her mind at the time of shuffle but did not reveal
them. M wanted to know what the cards had to say about the next few months. I pre-selected the
time frames. For the Immediate column I chose up to 1 month and for the Soon column up to 3
months. (Usually, I assign a few days up to one month for both columns when a specific question is
asked).
I have nicknamed this layout as the Micro GT because it is a snapshot of the cards
surrounding the Significator of the person getting the reading. Of course, assuming the
Significator falls in a central location of the GT which it rarely does.
I will write an overview of this reading below. The fact that the Gentleman showed up within these
12 cards tells me she did have her partner (S) on her mind at the time of shuffle. He would have not
shown up unless there was an important situation involving them. The circumstances could be just
around him but it will affect her to some degree since GENTLEMAN falls in the Immediate
column.

PAST: These three cards Whip, Lily and Clouds show a really unsettled energy around M.
The dark side of the CLOUDS faces the TREE card which is beneath her in the Now
column. This woman may have experienced some illness. The LILY card can represent
harmony but because it is sandwiched in by two troubling cards the harmony energy has a
tough time. WHIP and LILY can suggest tension in the bedroom if you know what I mean.
NOW: The LADY faces the LILY card. If you read image directions this can suggest she is
longing for peace of mind. Maybe, she is thinking about a recent argument. The SHIP card
sits on her shoulders indicating she is making plans to travel. This is also a card of longing
which would make a bit more sense given what has gone on in the recent past. Beneath
her lies the TREE card. I want to read this as M being rooted on some shaky ground. The
CLOUDS King of Clubs combined with the TREE card strongly suggests a man from her
past has or will make an appearance. I dont see him as a former lover just a platonic
friend.
IMMEDIATE: I gave this column about 3-4 weeks time frame. Her Significant other (S) sits
at the top of this column. There will be some changes coming because of him. The

STORK card changes the cards preceding it. The RIDER is usually news/information etc
coming. This card is coupled with the GENTLEMAN. S is the one embarking on a trip. The
SHIP card couples him as well. The GENTLEMAN faces the CROSS card. Its almost as
thought he has to go through a situation. Its part of his destiny.
Note: The LADY and GENTLEMAN do not face each other. They are linked together by
the travel cards (SHIP, RIDER).
SOON: This column is up to 3 months. The CROSS card is often read as a warning
especially when it touches a Significator card. It can be a karmic situation causing some
benefits as CLOVER and FISH suggest financial increase.
In the Trigger layout the only row that is read horizontally is the Trigger row containing the YOU
card usually the Significator of the person getting the reading. You dont have to pre-select the
Significator card. You can shuffle the deck and layout it out. After that study the YOU card and it
will reveal the issue at hand at the time of shuffle.
In the Trigger layout the columns are read top to bottom. The bottom cards influence is carried over
to some degree to the top card of the next column. It is usually a continuous story stemming from the
situation in the Past column and ending with the bottom card in the Soon column. I should mention
that the Trigger Row will give you a pretty good idea on the persons main theme.
TRIGGER ROW:
I usually scan over this row before commencing the reading. The issue in the recent past is
around harmony (LILY) but it could be the King of Spades (inset not shown in the German
Red Owl deck). M doesnt like chaos. Since the RIDER card follows her the entire Past
column cards are carried forward (see analysis of Past column above). The CLOVER card
ends the Trigger row suggesting a short-term lucky outcome. The CLOVER card is in a
strong position. It is a Trigger card. It is coupled with the CROSS card which indicated
good Karma. The CLOVER card is also coupled with the FISH card indicating the
opportunity for growth and increase in a financial matter. Since there is talk of travel within
these cards a money situation may be resolved favourably after all.

The only part of this reading which is a red flag is the dark side of the CLOUDS card touching the
TREE card. This is an underlying condition either around M or S. Travel may occur due to
someones health but it is unclear who the person is and why. The SHIP card fall behind the LADY
and the GENTLEMAN suggesting thoughts or plans to travel. If the SHIP card followed these
Significator cards the trip awaits them. It is pending.
As always, follow your intuition and if you certain card combinations speak loudly to use
then by all means share this information with your client. One more thing there are a lot of
court cards in this layout although not depicted on the cards. This indicates that there are
several people involved in the potential forecast for M and S. We have J-whip K-lily Kclouds Q-stork K-fish
I write in a passive voice (grammar) as the future is fluid.
