Since I’m  luke-warm about the usefulness of court-card Significators, I came up with an approach that uses the elemental nature of the different Aces instead. I created the attached information sheet, which  I show to my sitters before a reading and have them pick which of the descriptions most accurately fits their circumstances. Since I don’t ask for a question or focus area in advance, this gives me some feel for where to take the reading, and accomplishes the same objective as the First Operation of the Opening of the Key method (but with the querent’s active involvement). It can also be used with any spread that treats the Aces as an elemental indicator or pointer.
