I have a few questions for people who read Tarot using a significator.
1) What do you consider to be your significator, and how did you choose it?
2) Do you feel it is more accurate to choose a significator based on physical appearance, or by zodiac sign?
3) MUST you always use a Court card to be a significator? I want to represent someone I know with the three of Pentacles based on the image of the card - a tradesman/craftsman, and because he is a Pentacles in two ways: as a Capricorn, and as a person with dark skin and hair. AND his apt. # is 3. So it makes sense to me in many, many ways. Is this unheard of?
4) Is it unheard of to reverse a significator? I've chosen my significator as the Queen of Cups based on my appearance of light brown hair and pale skin, but for many reasons I feel compelled to reverse her. I'm just slightly twisted - and I am the first to admit it - and there are some meanings of the reversed Queen of Cups that really resonate with me. Am I the only one who reverses her significator? Is this "acceptable" in traditional readings?
I'm sure I will come up with more questions. I have always been more comfortable with my oracle deck than a Tarot deck, but I feel lately the cards have been speaking to me differently and wanting my attention. I would love to read any and all opinions.
