There’s one card which acts as a kind of axis mundi, the card in the bottom-right. Mine said that I’d be receiving a gift within a week, which was a good guess: The reading was one week before my birthday (and two days before Judgment).

The spread is the current state of the world and the axial card represents both past and future, with interpretations based on its images and orientation. Do the axial card first, then the rotations (I suppose — I wasn’t running the show).

Using one card’s configuration for both past and future lets your resident gypsy give you a twisty-spiral reading: Here’s the knot, here’s how it unties. Similarly, I don’t think all the picture combinations are equally probable.
