Big board

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The large board is a placement system that can be used for Lenormand cards , Gypsy cards and Kipper cards , but also for Skat cards or other fortune telling cards . This laying system is used to get a general overview of a situation, but it also allows you to examine individual sub-areas more closely.

Depending on the total number of cards, different forms of display can be selected.

There are various classic approaches to interpretation, e.g. B. the position and direction of view of the main person cards (future development) or the corner cards in combination (1 + 36 and 9 + 28 or 1 + 32 and 8 + 25). If the large table is laid out with 4x8 + 4 cards, the lower four cards are often weighted particularly heavily as the main statement about the current situation. The position of the main person cards lady and gentleman plays a special role, especially with questions about the topic of love and relationship. Above all, attention is paid to whether they are facing each other (sympathy, open-mindedness) or have their backs to each other (rejection, lack of communication). Furthermore, the cards lying between the person cards provide information about how they relate to one another or what currently characterizes the relationship or the relationship.

Example excerpts from the large table (the arrows indicate the direction of view):

← Dame Ruten Herr → = This constellation suggests that the partners are not particularly well-disposed towards each other at the moment. Probably there is a quarrel in the air, there may have been a dispute or a heated argument.

Herr → Herz Park ← Dame = Here it is reasonable to assume that the two partners are currently very close to each other. The cards Heart and Park show emotional openness, you reveal your emotions to one another and wear your heart on your tongue. If there are no other cards directly in combination that indicate problematic aspects of this openness, this constellation is certainly a very positive one for the relationship. If the relationship does not exist, these cards can also contain the information that the gentleman and lady meet / get to know each other at a public event or in public.

If you want to shed light on individual areas of life, it is advisable to look for the corresponding signifier cards and to relate the surrounding cards. Typical signifier cards would be e.g. B.

House system

The numbering of the 36 cards forms the basis for in-depth work with the so-called house system (large board). The corresponding sequential number is assigned to each display location: 

   Auslagevariante 4x9                         Auslagevariante 4x8 + 4
 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9                      1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18                      9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27                     17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36                     25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32
                                                     33 34 35 36

With the Skat cards, the house systematization takes place according to the following pattern: 

Ka7  Ka8  Ka9  Ka10  KaB  KaD  KaK  KaA
He7  He8  He9  He10  HeB  HeD  HeK  HeA
Pi7  Pi8  Pi9  Pi10  PiB  PiD  PiK  PiA
Kr7  Kr8  Kr9  Kr10  KrB  KrD  KrK  KrA

Note: Ka = diamonds / He = hearts / Pi = spades / Kr = clubs // B = jack / D = queen / K = king / A = ace

The order created with this system now enables the cards laid out on it to be interpreted in relation to the respective houses. The house forms the frame and the map on it shows what is happening in this area.

Special features of the interpretation with the house system

If cards are in your own house , ie in the position that corresponds to the number of the card (e.g. Lenormand card no. 1 rider is in position 1 at the top left), then the qualities of this card come at the moment or in the matter in question does not apply. In the case of the rider, this would mean that there is probably no movement in the matter or that a message does not arrive or only arrives late.
