Here is an enlarged Past-Present-Future layout that places the standard three-card array within a matrix of psychological inferences derived from elemental associations. This approach adds substance and nuance to the situational outlook in the form of behavioral or attitudinal patterns that are either aligned with or indisposed toward the developmental scenario. If there is supportive alignment, progress in the matter will be expedited “for good or ill; if there is little or none, resistance (either helpful or harmful) could be experienced according to the nature of the misaligned cards. (“Present” and “Future” engagement is interactive, “Past” consequences are foundational and mainly of historical value.) Normally, each position will hold one card but more can be added to the “elemental” positions for increased depth.
