Version B is my preference.  It seems to be gaining the name “Wellsian Celtic Cross” — cute!  One thing that people should note is that I place card #2 (the other polarity) vertically and to the right of card #1, about half-way down the “height” of the first card.  This makes sure that the readee and I are both clear about whether the card is upright or reversed.  A card’s orientation makes a big difference to me, so a horizontal placement of card #2 doesn’t make sense.  I tend to place card #11 (what guides/holds/supports…) in the upper left-hand quadrant, tilted a bit to the left between cards 3 and 5.

It’s vital to identify the polarities being played out in the first two cards.  This lays the foundation for much of the discussion to follow.  Here’s something to try that I did yesterday.  Ask the readee/querent to imagine being in a situation that feels like the first polarity, then to breathe as if s/he is experiencing it.  Now do the same for the second card — ask hir to breathe like s/he’s in a situation that embodies the second polarity.  Note where in the body the readee experiences the breath and the sensations.  Now ask hir to find the midpoint, the breath that is half-way between the extremes.  Where in hir body does the querent experience this?  S/He can gently touch that body part while breathing the “middle breath”.  This can help hir to centre hirself during the consultation AND out there in “real life” when feeling pulled off kilter.  What tangible activity might the readee perform that has the sense of the “middle breath” and reminds hir of that powerful, grounded centre in hir body?
