Combination of the Astrologic Circle and Tarot

PHi

This is my final spread; the one that led for me to understanding the cards truely. I'm not sure how to post images, if possible at all, but in general it's a circular spread. Copyright: by myself, altough I found out, later on, that this form of spreading the cards is used more often, in different ways and with different explanations. As said before; for me it was the conclusion of 10 years of practising the cards, so please use it with respect. (kind of: notify me if you want to use it in other ways than personal development..) :)

<edit>Translation done..

read the lists as follows:
1. Roman number = position of the card

I'm sure this is a really fine spread, considering you spent ten years getting to this place, but ... I for one can't read or speak Dutch or German and had no luck figuring this one out at all. If you would be so kind to re-write this in English, I'm sure many of us would appreciate it. I know I would.

PHi: Translation services on Aeclectic are only offered in very special circumstances - and for the moment only on the Historical Forum in French for certain posts (because of the importance of French in the History of Tarot). On top of it, the moderator of this particular forum does not speak Dutch and even if she did, she would probably not have time to translate.

The language of Aeclectic is English.

Also, the moderators are responsible for their boards and therefore have to understand what is written in them, so you are please requested to edit your post by providing a translation.

Thank you.

(Diana - one of the Moderators of Aeclectic)

Hi PHi,
I'm from Belgium too and speak Dutch, but have to say that I still don't understand this spread - could you explain some more? If you need help translating, I'd be happy to help you out - as Diana said: this is an English Forum, and there aren't a lot of Dutch-speaking members.
 

PHi

Hoi Spoonbender, send me your e-mail adress and I will give you the Excell sheet, so you can print & test it.

Meanwhile I will try to solve the translation & explanation (up to now I used this spread solely for myself, so I didn't need to explain it to others).

Greetz,
PHi

PHi,

I am wondering if you will be able to translate this post? As it stands, it is illegible to me, and to the Aeclectic audience at large.

Could you please assist in updating your post to include a translation within the thread as well?

Many thanks :)
 

PHi

Yes, I will.
The only thing is, I need a day off to do so :)

I hope to do so this week, since my Crowley-experience, so hopefully awaited (by me; a study of the Book of Toth), didn't start yet..
 

Alissa

I will be looking forward to the translation soon then! :D The spread looks very interesting, I'd love to be able to study it more in depth, especially after all the years of work it took in the creation.

:) Many thanks again....
