Guidelines for Process Alchemical Spread

See the layout as a process, as a flow Choose an elemental layout appropriate to the question (creative, emotional, mental, physical-financial) See the layout mixing opposites (the marriage of polarities, male / female sides of character) Note the transformational goal of the process moving through time The goal is a possibility, not a prediction Note the importance of the starting point (which elemental pattern you choose and how you interpret the + and aspects at the starting point) Use only the Suit cards Fire (wands)=impulse, ambition, energy Water (cups)=feeling, empathy, openness Air (swords)=thought, plan, mental attitude One element can support another (Air + Fire, Earth + Water) One element can weaken another (Water + Fire, Air + Earth) One element can be neutral to another (Water + Air, Fire + Earth)
