Balance: the arcana are equal

Spheres that use this interpretation:Year arcana and vector

Interpretations are currently available in Russian only — a translation is in progress.

When the arcana of both blocks coincide, there is no vector either upwards or downwards. The system reads this as a point from which both directions are equally open — and as the absence of any leaning of one's own.

A person in this position is drawn neither to remaking the world nor to quiet. They take the shape of whatever surroundings they land in: beside demanding people they become demanding, beside indifferent ones, indifferent. From this comes the ability to reach agreement where others dig in: there is less of a position of their own that has to be defended.

The practical conclusion concerns upbringing and company. For a balanced vector the surroundings count for more than for any other, and the choice of circle here is not a secondary question but the main one. The system attaches such weight to this that it holds years of balance to be a time when parents should stay closer to their children than usual: what is laid down in those years decides which way the vector will swing.

Year arcana and vector

Year → two blocks → a pair of arcana and a vector

The year, read through the arcana, describes maturity: the task for the future, the attitude to one's own health, and the goal a person came for. What is examined here is the part of it that shows the drive — how strongly a person is pulled towards changing the state of things.

The year is split into two blocks of two digits each. The first — the beginning of the year: 19 or 20. The second — the last two digits; no reduction is performed, but if the result is greater than 22, 22 is subtracted from the number as many times as needed to arrive at an arcanum from 1 to 22.

The first block is responsible for the task towards the country and the people. The relation between the blocks sets the vector: the second greater than the first — the vector points up; the first greater than the second — down; equal — a point of balance, from which both directions are equally possible.
