Hi Shadowdancer:
I will attempt to answer your question on how I read the GT.
Each card has no more than 3 possible meanings.
I read horizontal lines (the most important), and vertical lines (the second most important) of the major players which are involved in the question.
There are cards to represent major players: Man, Woman, Dog, Ring, Tree for health, Anchor for job/career, Fish for Money, etc.
The cards that are in close proximity to the major players are the most important.
Rules are important, but must be kept at a minimum, so that the cards can speak.
Just look for the story, it is there, and it becomes more clear with practice.
And........although I cannot offer proof, I have a feeling that the Great Mademoiselle herself used a simple system.
