Rh positions, will rule with C at another certain time. There is but one way to find which spread in this work gives this general position, and that is, by finding what spread has a ruling sun card, the same as the one in the spread under consideration occupying the same position. This position is directly under the sun in the short row at the top.

RULE FOR FINDING THE LAY-OUT.

Take the sun card in table spread.

Set down the suit value. Put under it the spot value.

Put under this the number 7.

Add all together. Multiply the sum by 2.

Add to the product, the number 61.

This gives the page of the book where that sun card rules under the sun.

In the grand spread thus found, the emblems are in their normal position relative to their planetary effects at the time. You can then readily determine by a comparison with the table spread, where the variations from the normal are greater or less. For instance; suppose the normal position of the ten of diamonds, under the ruling, is under Jupiter. But, in the table spread it is under Saturn. You can then confidently predict that a pecuniary success which should come to the person under the normal effects of the planets has been counteracted by environments.

Ordinary emblem readers do not usually go into these finer calculations, being guided a great deal by intuition, but I wish to give these directions for the benefit of students who wish to make a deep study of the subject.

When the spread is completed, it is usual to designate the planetary cards drawn by the person, by turning them at right angles to their former positions.
