Which is your preferred?
I first realized the discrepancy when comparing Joan Bunnings Learn Tarot against A.E. Waite's Pictorial Key to Tarot, where 4 and 6 are those issues which you're leaving behind (resolved) and those issues which you're coming into (needing resolution).
In Bunning's version, the flow of time is left to right, where 4 is past, and 6 is near future, but Waite has them reversed, right to left: 4 is future, and 6 is past. (Plus the order the cards are laid out is slightly different too so the "numbers" won' t quite match, but that's neither here nor there- the positions mirror each other well enough).
I kinda find Waite's version odd, but wondered what the general consensus was. (I know, I shouldn't worry about it, but I'm curious)
