Hebrew for Tarot Readers: Assigning the Seven Planets
Part Four of Mick Frankel's excellent course: Hebrew for Tarot Readers - the Planetary Trumps.

It removes any cases of doubt as to what happens next or what tarot card meaning to apply within the circumstances because it is a very clear cut way of reading the cards.
