The only thing I ask in return is if people can give me extra insight onto my own Grand Tableau. I have added my read in the comments. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Please give me a bit of time to get through all of the reads. GT's are long and I give a lot of detail (that's the nice way of saying I talk too much!)

I actually originally posted up my GT spread to get some extra insight into what people thought and if I was on the right track but got a bit shy and took it down lol

Thank you for adding me to the list! I'm not great with GT but lets see... I haven't read your description not to influence me...

Could you tell me which way the woman card is facing - towards clover or snake, tower etc

Everything to the right of you is your future and the left is your past. Though you need to look at which way certain cards are facing. Like the ship, stork, scythe ect.. As they will influence what they face. Whatever the tip of scythe will get the shock, end, final break, danger and so on. That can be you as well.
If facing the left I have seen readers read the left as future. Some don't but you can get a clue by looking at the past ( you already know your past ).

Everything above you is out of your control. It may not even be about you. But on your mind ( your thoughts).

The things directly below you are in your control and the present. Ahead of you is your future.

The diagonal line to the right above is your immediate future. The diagonal right below is further into future.

The cards that surround you describe you. If you are asking about a man the cards that surround him will describe him.

The card that lies between you is what connects you.

Don't forget corners, mirrors and knighting.
Also, the lines future, present, diagonal also have mirror cards for extra info.

And of course the fate line is your fate.

The clouds are in house of man diagonal to rider in mountain then child in fox then woman in snake.

The diagonal past line

This was your ex who made the decision to be with you long term and he was really happy about it he brought the news to you ( rider ) and you blocked him because there were difficulties. So out of spite acting childish trying to get back at you he went back to his ex woman in house of snake. And now may view you as cruel, vicious woman ( the snake ) I would have to look a little closer at what surrounds the woman but that is what I see in her past line.

Just remember it depends on where the significator is facing. In some decks she looks to left so that is her future. The diagonal line to the upper left is then her immediate future.

Before laying cards you do a three card cut and read those.

Then lay cards out for tableau.

The three card pull will be the theme of reading
( basically sums up everything) so you cut cards see what they say put back together don't shuffle again just put together the way you cut them and lay out the tableau.

The first three cards is the question being answered in tableau. So houses are rider clover and ship.
The cards there are the question the tableau is answering.

So if your question fits along with the three card cut then you know you are on the right track. If they are completely different you will need to re- shuffle and start over. If if keeps happening then energy of cards may be off or you are just not meant to know at that time.

If you are using a 9x4 the 4 middle cards are significant.
But I don't think it applies in the 8x4+4.
