Hi kaz, my deck, from AGMüller, has 121 page book, in English. Everything from page 24 on explains the cards. There are really only a few pages on the astrological connections and giving two ways of laying the cards, with and without the astrology. I find it puzzling because the astrology part seems related to your birth chart, and once you have done that, I do not see where to go with it. I read the booklet very carefully when I first got the cards, and seriously the only part that I could understand was one short section which suggested that you can draw three cards, lay them in a row,
Card A. The Problem
Card B. The Way through the Problem
Card C. The Outcome.
I will just type a short part of it:
"This card (the last card) is always the last card chosen within a series. You have to be quite clear about this in your own mind before any interpretation can become valid. Although the temptation is always there, never read read the last card as a single card. This card illustrates a final outcome to the theme of your question.
The dialectic between cards A,B,C looks something like this: card A depicts the 'mountain of remembrance' which needs to be climbed. It gives a name to the monolithic peak: "GauriShankar in Himalaya" (Marion: I think he just means that this card makes the problem specific). But, rather than having already set out, you are still home in your armchair in the suburbs. Card B tells you what needs to be done: equipment to be purchased, the train taken to JFK or Heathrow; a flight to New Delhi, on to Katmanthu; hire a guide. Then to base camp in Range Rover, fill oxygen bottles, and now you can get going. There is also a lot to be done on the mountain itself. Card C describes what is ultimately in store for you at your destination. You might have to turn back mid-journey in a snow storm. Not reaching the summit could be a part of the outcome.
You have read card C at the outset. It says 'you won't reach the goal', and it is clear that the journey will be in vain, you could save yourself the trouble. But that's the error! The journey itself is part of remembering, and without it you would never arrive anywhere. In this case the failed attempt is the only way of remembering. By sparing yourself the journey you deny yourself the chance to remember: you become one of those people who prefers to read a book on swimming rather than dip your sensitive toes into the water yourself. This makes you even less of a swimmer"
As commented elsewhere, lots of past life stuff there.
My general weakness in astrology is a hindrance, and though I do have a copy of my birth chart, getting the various relations from it is a struggle.
If anyone uses these cards on an even semi-regular basis, how are they doing it?
