Non-expressive vortices are instances when Karma manifests indirectly. Usually just, (V) and (XV), where The Devil manifests in the lesser cycle and The Heirophant manifests in the greater cycle, but have no minor key representation. A vortex that is being manipulated or is in the process of manifesting circumstance is identified by, (I). Manifest karma, (IV), or Karma’s manifestation, (VI), occur in the in the lesser cycle and find balance in the same. Likewise, in the greater cycle with a base resonance of (X), karma manifests an element in suspension. The penetrating lesser cycle energy being the product of a permeating greater cycle energy and vice versa, except when otherwise indicated by, (I). It is worth noting that one should never interchange components from incompatible systems of divination. To properly visualize these aspects it may be necessary to think outside of your usual philosophy. After all, it normally wouldn’t do to try and zip up the buttons on your new levi jeans, or light the burners on your electric stove with a match. *shrug*

What a fantastic, in-depth article. At the moment I have only been able to give it a quick “once over” but intend to absorbe it in depth.
Many thanks Ax!

Kind regards

I don’t really go a bundle on the numerology (3 Queens signifies Y) but rather on (my) interps of the missing cards (who is the missing 4th Queen and what could she bring to the party?)

You are right, extrapolated to the nth degree, you could say anything about anything present/missing. It would just be silly to rattle through the other cards in the deck that weren’t in the reading *grin*

I guess that’s where training/experience come in, isn’t it? I’ve never had a problem about knowing when to stop – usually it’s just a couple of things that can usefully be adopted.

The danger, of course, is that to the nth degree you can see what ever you want if it is either there or not there
Sevens usually relate to the spiritual, so I tend to see them as things that relate to the less obvious and more ethereal aspects – things you can’t quite put your finger on or the hard to express or quantify. FWIW. Both the presence of 7P and 7W and the absence of 7C and 7S might suggest that sitter was not giving herself enough credit for hard work (7P) and application/determination (7W), perhaps focusing too much on the drugery and not enough on the opportunities resulting or even feeling undeserving of the recognition due.

Donna!!! *big hug* thanks for taking a look.

It’s a bit Zen, isn’t it? Seeing how the negative space is in the reading is just as important as the lines and shadows actually present in the cards drawn.

Hey, I’m quite enjoying this blogging lark

Barbara – lovely to see you! Try doing it at the end so that you give your client a mini ‘prescription’ of positive action just before they leave you. Especially if the content of the reading has been harsh, it provides a shard or two of positive energy

Alison, what a fantastic article. Like Lori, I’ve done something like this at the beginning of readings, but it was more casual than how you describe. It is interesting how what isn’t there can be as important as what is there. Thanks for sharing!

Hi … I enjoyed this article immensely. Very interesting to consider the negative spaces within a reading and excellent observations as to how the cards may fill them.

I was keeping up with you right up to ‘non-expressive vortices’, Bulal!

By non-expessive vortices, do you mean those areas where the client is blocked or suppressing – in my example – emotionally and mentally? If so, yup, completely agree.

If not, tell me what non-expressive vortices are *grin*
