When choosing a significator, the reader will consider a number of factors, including the querent's appearance, personality, and goals. They may also use their intuition to select a card that they believe best represents the querent.
Once a significator has been chosen, it is placed in the center of the spread. The surrounding cards are then interpreted in relation to the significator, providing insight into the querent's situation and the potential outcomes of their current course of action.
In some cases, multiple significators may be used in a single reading. This can be helpful when reading for a group of people or when exploring different aspects of a complex situation.
Here are some examples of significators that might be used in a tarot reading:
* The querent's zodiac sign
* A card from the querent's birth date
* A card that represents the querent's current goal
* A card that represents the querent's personality
* A card that represents the querent's relationship to another person
It is important to note that there is no right or wrong way to choose a significator. The most important thing is to select a card that feels representative of the person, place, or thing that you are interested in.
