Step 1: Find the first card on the following table

A=AD-AC	J=10D-10C	S=6S-6H
B=2D-2C	K=JD-JC	T=7S-7H
C=3D-3C	L=QD-QC	U=8S-8H
D=4D=-4C	M=KD-KC	V=9S-9H
E=5D-5C	N=AS-AH	W=10S-10H
F=6D-6C	O=2S-2H	X=JS-JH
G=7D-7C	P=3S-3H	Y=QS-QH
H=8D-8C	Q=4S-4H	Z=KS-KH
I=9D-9C	R=5S-5H

Step 2: Find the second card on the following table

Ace = 1 Upright	2 = 2 Reversed	3 = 3 Upright	KD = Wild Card Upright
4 = 1 Reversed	5 = 2 Upright	6 = 3 Reversed	KS = Wild Card Reversed
7 = 1 Upright	8 = 2 Reversed	9 = 3 Upright	KC = Wild Card Upright
10 = 1 Reversed	J = 2 Upright	Q = 3 Reversed	KH = Wild Card Reversed

Notes: You can either use the Kings as blank cards or draw another card or use the following Wild Card Concept:

*Wild Card = Any of the three of the corresponding letter of Step 3

        Example:

            A - The Fool - 5 of Pentacles - 3 of Wands

Step 3: Find the letter on the following table to find the first coordinate:

A	The Fool	5 of Pentacles	3 of Wands
