I have noticed from the results of keyword search on a popular search engine that Knighting has been quite an issue with many learners. I myself have been there where I did not know how to do it but it is really easy, specially if you have been a person who plays chess.
Knighting actually comes from the game of Chess where it describes how the Knight in Chess is allowed to move about the chessboard. I will explain it step by step:
1: Choose the Card you want to perform knighting for. e.g I choose the Lady card 29. This card is my Knight now. This is where I'm standing and this card is about what I need more information. you can choose other cards e.g Book for education, Heart for love, Ring for marriage etc.
Example 1:
2: Since the Lady card is to far right, we cannot move towards right, so I will start moving backward, 2 cards (Coffin, Roads) and then one card upwards.Key
Lady+Key tells me I'm sure about what I want next.
3: Then I will move in same direction and this time after two cards (Coffin, Roads) I will go downwards.
Example 2:
4: Since I cannot move to right, but if I could I would have done the same thing towards right, e.g for Child I'd move two cards to right (Stars, Key) and then one card upwards which gives me Book.
Child +Book = Young lady or child is studying
Then I will move one step downwards instead of upwards, which gives me, two steps towards right (Stars, Key) and one step downwards which is Roads , Child+Roads = Young lady/child is facing a choice.
Same thing I can do for child on left side, like I did for lady, 2 cards (Tree, Ship) and then one card up (Fox) and one down (Tower)
Child + Fox = Child/Young lady is cheating/lying
Child + Tower = Child is abandoned or alone.
Example 3:
5: Next step is to move up or down first and then left or right. Pretty much reverse of what we did in steps 1-4. I will take Birds for explaining this one.
If I'm standing at Birds, I will move two steps down (Sun, Rider) and then right, Moon.
Birds + Moon = A phone call at night
Now, again, two cards downwards, this time going left, Heart
Birds + Heart = A lovely message, an affectionate couple.
6: The same procedure, this time in upwards direction. Two cards to up (Stars, House) then right, Book
Birds + Book = A secret phone call. A secret is causing anxiety.
This time, 2 cards upwards (Stars, House), but to the left. Whip
Birds+Whip = A conflicting situation causing anxiety.

Things to remember:
- You cannot do all 8 combinations for each card. It will depend on the position of the card in the spread e.g you have 8 combinations for Birds (with Whip, Book, Heart, Moon, Flower, Fish, Tree, Storks) but you have only 3 for Lady (Dog, Key and Mountain).
- If you do 9x4 formation, you can have maximum 6 combinations for one card.
- Knighting is done to get extra combinations for the card, e.g to further explain things for Lady, or for love, or a project etc. These combinations give extra or supporting information. Try this for yourself and see how it adds to your interpretation.
Counting throws me for a loop as somehow does Mirroring for some reason. But I caught onto Knighting very easily and I love the extra info I've been able to get from it. Also its always been so spot on.

ReplyDeleteYes Knighting is usually the very subtle energy surrounding that situation. I took a long while learning Knighting mainly because I never played chess but I tried to put it in best way possible easy for everyone to understand. Hope it helped :)
