ahh

so you just count FROM each card and ignore those in the middle. Jeez sounds simple now :D

To an extent, you ignore those in the middle. ;-)

The cards on both sides of the significator and other cards you count to colour it. Both through elements (contrary, agreeable), they'll strengthen or weaken it, and their "topic" might show something too - like "strife" might have a court card next to it - that could indicate who the strife is with. So you read the significator (in context with the 2 cards around it), then count, starting from it, the direction it's facing. The card you land on is the next one to be read (again, in context. ) Keep counting from the one you land on, and wrapping around if you fall off the end, until you hit one again that you've hit before. That's it!

I like that it lets *one* card serve many purposes - it could be directly landed on, but still colour other cards.
