What an interesting thread!! Is there a place that has more information or will you be kind and explain the significances?
I have a multitude of resources. But I have to take a page from Scion's book regarding recommendations. I really do feel that your Birth Card compared to that of the particular author is helpful in finding what might be better as a start. In the end, you may move on to another set of correspondences.
*since I just sent this in a PM to Myrrha, it's handy*
I like Sharon Jeffers (KD) book
Cards of Destiny A Birthday Book and Daily Divination Guide along with
The Power of Playing Cards: An Ancient System for Understanding Yourself, Your Destiny, & Your Relationships by Geri Sullivan (KD) & Saffi Crawford (4C) for an absolute beginner's intro.
Robert Lee Camp (QD) is usually the one people have come into contact with first. He is the only author offering software that calculates all the charts for you, but many find it too pricey.
Thomas Morrell (KH) uses the Chaldean numerology associations. His work is self-published and he has a Yahoo group. There is a website that has developed online calculation tools using his info, but as far as I know it is not purchasable.
Iain McLaren-Owens (KD) has a very scholarly approach. He has done an amazing amount of calculation & research and set up a very unique system/framework for the cards. In terms of Iain's publications, these are the 2 that I refer to the most:
AC 9 Aspects
SS 10 Planetary Squares
This is a great reference resource with the benefit of being able to print out a quick page for study w/o lugging a large book around:
SS: 8CD Magian Cardology Card Chart Tables - CD version
Deborah Lowrey (3D) at karmaresources has designed many PDF study modules for various concepts.
