Definitions of the Positions in the Karmic Spread
2. Corresponding Major Arcana Card
Each position corresponds to a Major Arcana card and the influence of that card.
3. Consciousness Grid
The aspects of the personality (the Planes) interface with the levels of consciousness
(the Stages). For example, looking at Chart l, you can see that position 17 is in the Mental
Plane and the Higher Emotional Stage. Therefore, in the Consciousness Grid, position 17
is where the mental aspect of the personality goes through the higher emotional level of
consciousness. In short form, this is shown as Mental/Higher Emotional. For another example,
position 6 is shown as Emotional/Emotional: position 21 is shown as Mental/Higher
Physical. For positions 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19, as they are swing positions and play the dual
function of ending one phase and beginning another, there will be two sets each on the
Consciousness Grid to consider for a position meaning. For example, position 10 is first
considered as Spiritual/Mental (for its function as the end of Stage Three) and second
considered as Spiritual/Spiritual (for its function as the beginning of Stage Four).
4. Minor Arcana Grid
This grid works much like the Consciousness Grid, except that the interface factors are
the suits of the Minor Arcana. Charts 2 and 3 show the assignment of influence of the suits
to the Planes and the Stages, respectively. For example, position 11 is the interface of
Swords/Wands; position 14 is Cups/Swords. Again you see the swing cards 4, 7, 10, 13, 16,
and 19 with two sets each in the grid. For example, position 7 is first considered as Pentacles/Cups
and second as Pentacles/Swords.
5. The Elements Grid
This grid is an interface of the characteristics of the four elements as applied to the
Planes (Chart 2). For example, position 8 is the interface of Water/Air; position 5 is Air/
Water. Again you see the swing cards 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19 with two sets each in the grid.
For example, position 13 is first considered Earth/Fire and second Earth/Air.
6. Real Time Factor
This source is the effect of real time marching across the seven Stages. Any units of
time may be applied to any given reading prior to the laying out of the cards. The selection
of the overall time frame chosen for the reading and the subsequent division of that
overall time frame into seven time units for the seven Stages is fundamental to the definition
of the positions. Some major options are:
Stage Full Life Seven Months
Stage One: At Birth 3rd Month Past
Stage Two: Early Childhood 2nd Month Past
Stage Three: Recent Past 1st Month Past
Stage Four: Present Now
Stage Five: Near Future 1st Month Future
Stage Six: Mid-Future 2nd Month Future
Stage Seven: Future 3rd Month Future
