1.24) Four Trines Spread (#12, C5, A) (Doane)
Layout: Twelve cards are displayed in a CIRCLE.  In clockwise
order, starting at the left (nine o'clock) this is the numbering of
the cards: 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 10, 3, 7, 11, 4, 8, 12.

             09 02 06
           05        10
           01        03
           12        07
             08 04 11

Deal: Numerically as shown.

Reading:  As the name suggests, there are four sets of three cards
(trines) that work in conjunction with another.

Trine of Life (1, 6, 11):
  Card 1: Personal life: health
  Card 6: Mental life: travel
  Card 11: Life of Posterity: children, love affairs, pleasure,
           speculation
Trine of Power (2, 7, 12):
  Card 2: Honor and authority: business, reputation
  Card 7: Environment: illness, work
  Card 12: Wealth
Social Trine (3, 8, 9):
  Card 3: Partners: marital, enemies

  Card 9: Associates: friends
Trine of Secrets:
  Card 4: Things concealed in the environment
  Card 10: Money: debts, taxes, inheritance
  Card 5: Afflictions: enemies, failures, obstacles

Variation 1: I have seen a variation with a querent card placed in
the center of the layout. (Jones)

Comment 1:  Doane indicated that this layout was influenced by
astrology, although its relation to astrology is not immediately
apparent.
