The two card method is fairly simple, i use the mystical so sometimes the astrology symbols help, but mainly i work with the numbers or the imagery.
i think i would be better explaining the 2 card method by using examples, so if anyone has questions i will show the working out here.
Astrology transits- i have a winter solstice GT, i was looking for timing in my natal and solar returns chart and i pulled a card for it, i pulled the man in this case. the man card is in the house of the tree, tree ruled by virgo, so it could mean a virgo man, or it could mean mars in virgo. i have mars in Virgo in my natal chart, also mars is currently retrograde through virgo, so i know it will happen when the transit aspects my natal mars.
I was working through transits coming up, mainly moons. i looked to find the house and the stork together in my GT (house in 31 and stork in 32), also the sun is above the stork in house 24. The stork card is ruled by Aries, in the house of the moon. i looked up and the moon in aries is 22nd march, which is the day after the sun goes into aries (sun+stork). i then went back to my natal, solar returns charts and noticed that the new moon in aries in my solar returns chart is on my descendant and uranus. so the aries moon activates part of my SR chart, and i have my mars return that date too. so i know that i will move quickly (house+stork), also a new moon is signified by the sun and moon being conjunct, and so this is replicated in my GT with the house card being in the house of the sun, and stork in the house of the moon. also the moon is in the house of the lily so it reads moon/house/stork. looking at the house of the stork to confirm this, i have the key which here is ruled by the sun, so sun in aries.
I started looking at this as i couldnt understand the flowers in my GT and my dailies, when i was doing some transit work suddenly i realised that flowers is ruled by jupiter, which is in my house of dog, and the bear is next to it which rules 1st house. i realised that the reason why certain things happened was because my natal 1st house is taurus, jupiter is in my 1st house. jupiter transit had hit on a few of my planets which was triggering some things to happen. so looking round the flowers i saw what had unfolded, i even had the mice in the house of the scythe, and the scythe is ruled by chiron....one of the issues started as my natal Chiron was being transited by jupiter, which is conjunct my moon. so old wounds (scythe) being nibbled at by the mice came up suddenly (scythe), scythe is in the house of the cloud so confusion is there too. the scythe is next to the whip card, and thats ruled by the moon, so again sudden worries. when the transit ended, so did my worries and fears.
i didnt know this at the time, i looked back and i can see it really clearly that timing wise it mapped to the transits. so then i decided to look at both the past and the future moons in this solstice and see if i can map them to my GT. some jump out, some i need to pull a card and then it leads me to it. I look at patterns and for it then to be confirmed, so the last day of my GT is March 22nd the spring solstice, stork is in the last card, which is also the aries new moon.
its hard to explain really, but i hope this makes some sense
