Satori, kudos to you! May the Bluebird of Happiness sit on your shoulder
NOW, we can see what others made of this method, it's a great help.
But I'm rapidly going off the 'which-way-the-courts-face' idea, as only these 4 Courts face to the right/future (also depends on the deck I suppose...),
K Spades, Q Spades, J Spades, J Clubs
----------------------
I'm finding LBs 'adaptation' more useful, where a court-card in the First Position is representive of the Querent, whether by features or characteristics. (I don't expect everyone uses the P.P.card meanings though.....)
In those cases where the 'querent' is a non-sentient 'thing' and a court-card is in the first place, i.e: querent is,
house, book, work-place, company, hotel, holiday resort, car, garden, computer, etc., I'm assigning 'non-sentient meanings' to the courts.
I'm finding that
Sometimes the non-sentient court is a person who is directly in charge of, or responsible for, the 'thing'. Or someone who needs to be dealt with on behalf of the 'thing'.
It's working fine (for me) so far.
