Grand Tableau Basics
The Grand Tableau is not “the whole fate on the table,” but a map of relationships among 36 signs. It must be read in layers: significators, houses, lines, distances.
Houses
The house of a card shows the stage where the theme landed. A card in Key's house speaks differently than a card in Mountain's house.
Do not read everything at once
The Grand Tableau is better read by question: relationship, work, money, letter, road, home. Otherwise it becomes noise.
