As a general rule, a large number of the Major Arcana in a spread indicate a lot of macrocosmic
(external) forces operating in the Querent's life. Court Cards (like the Significator) usually indicate
people in the Querent's life who will correspond to the cards in either appearance or temperament. If
there is a predominance of Pentacles, there are strong indications concerning worldly wealth and
possessions; if of Cups, strong emotional indications; if of Swords, intellectual pursuits; and if of
Wands, an indication of fundamental changes.
Continued work with the Tarot will considerably improve your intuition so that you will find that in
ordinary everyday situations it will become increasingly clear how to act: the under-currents of life and
motivation will begin to show themselves in quite an amazing manner, so that after a while the Tarot
becomes useful for only the most knotty problems. This heightening of the intuition is a faculty which
will stand you in good stead in the next step on your way: self initiation.
