I do hope that I'm posting this in the right section, if not, my apologies and please move it.
Okay, so, I've been looking into elemental dignities. I don't use reversals in my readings, I have tried it but it doesn't feel good to me. From what I understand, many of those who doesn't use reversals instead refer to elemental dignities (ED) to understand the energy in the reading better and to know which card is meant to be read ill-dignified. I have tried to study up on it, but I struggle with understanding it correctly.
For example: If asking about someone's feelings and you receive the cards:
Strength (Fire) / Temperance (Fire) / 10 of Cups (Water)
If read upright, it looks positive. But when implementing ED, it's not as positive? From what I understand, the center card is the important one, and Fire and Water are unfriendly and weaken each other. Does this mean that because of the flanking cards (Fire + Water), the center card (Temperance) is therefore weakened? If it's weakened, does it mean that it's ill-dignified = the reversed/blocked meaning of the card? And how does Strength and 10 of Cups come into play?
I would greatly appreciate some help as I would like to learn more about ED and implement it in my readings since I don't use reversals.
