 == Layouts ==
-A layout is how the cards are laid on the table.  Each layout has designated spaces that conform to a specific idea or subject area of the reading.  The conjunction of the card and the layout space create meaning.  For example, many layouts have a space designated "Root" as in "root of the issue".  The card you lay in the Root space gives you an idea of what might be the "root cause" of the issue or question at hand.

 The word "Querent" refers to the person who is the subject of the reading, as in "the person making the query."

+card layout - "Cross"

+The "Celtic Cross" was my mother's standard layout when reading Tarot.  I've modified it based on what works for me.  This is good for the sort of general questions that most people associate with card reading.

+/7/9 card layout - "Concern & Asset Dualities"
 \\
 Good for a situation with many facets. Querent should think of a situation and some number of concerns they have about that situation.  Querent should number each concern and note the number for each (e.g. "This is concern 1, this is concern 2" etc.).  This example shows 4 concerns, but any number of concerns are valid.
