1.50) Name Layout (#V, C3, L) (Cabezas)
Layout:
Layout consists of three rows, one row for each for the querent's
first, middle, and last name. In each row, deal the same number of
cards as there are in that part of the person's name. In the
example below, I use Robin Edwin Southworth.
R O B E R T
1 2 3 4 5 6 - Past
| Remote | Transition | Recent |
E D W I N
7 8 9 10 11 - Present
| Influence | Key | Influence |
| on others | | of others |
S O U T H W O R T H
12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 - Future
| feelings | goals | future | influences | outcome |
Deal: Deal as described above. If the querent doesn't not have
middle name, repeat the first name on the second row. The first
and second rows must have at least three cards. If the person's
name does not have at least three letters, deal three cards anyway.
Similarly, the last name must contain five cards. For example: If
you did a reading on Harry S Truman, you would have 5, 3, & 6 in
each of the three rows. If you did a reading on William Howard
Taft, you would have 7, 6, & 5.
Reading:
Each row is divided into sections. The first two rows have
three sections while the last has five. The middle card(s) in each
row is the key card(s).
The first row represents the influences and past experiences
of the Querent. To the left of the key card there are the remote
past influences cards, which represent the substrate of the
Querent's life. To the right of the key card there are the recent
influences cards, which represent influences from last months,
weeks or even days ago. The key card represents very near
influences that may not have ended their action yet.
The middle row refers to the actual influences. To the left
of the key card there are the influences the Querent exercises on
the people near him. The cards may also show impressions or
opinion of others on the Querent. To the right of the key card
there are the influences or pressures that others exercise on the
Querent. The key card shows the structure and environment in which
the Querent lives and works right now.
The last row refers to the future and the final answer. To
the left there are the inner emotions and specific goals of the
Querent. To the right, the future influences or the spheres of
influence that may appear in a near future. To the rightmost part
there's the final result of the influences shown on the rest of the
cards. The key card shows the future the Querent is just entering
in. This card may show obstacles to pass or the moments, good luck
or the progress towards a goal the Querent is trying to reach.
This layout also contains a very interesting aspect: the Age
card. This card is obtained with the Querent's age and it's very
important. For example, if our Querent is 18 year-old, you will
count from card number 1 until you reach the 18th card (in this
example, the 2nd "O" in Southworth). If the Querent is 29, the Age
card would be the "D" in Edwin. This Age card is very strong and
of great influence. Its meaning is a very important key for the
understanding of the past, present and future of the Querent.
Comment 1: Although the reading stated that each line is divided
into sections, no specific method is given, although from the
example it can be implied that each section should be as equal in
length as possible.
Comment 2: No mention is made about what to do for people with
multiple middle names. As always, use your own discretion.
Comment 3: Cabezas obtained this layout from a Stuart Kaplan book.
