Why position matters more than dictionary

The same card in the position of cause, advice, or warning speaks with different voices. Without position, a card becomes a floating sign.

Position gives role

A card in advice does not describe an event; it offers a way to act. In shadow, it shows what distorts perception.

Neighbor cards give context

Seven of Cups beside the Emperor sounds different than beside the Moon. OmenHall reads the connection, not a word list.

Checklist

  • I know the card position
  • I look at neighbors
  • I do not isolate the card from the spread
