You can have both an over abundance of elements and an over abundance of Majors. There is no Court card chart ... yet, as I'm still working on them. I have also started working on the 'Elemental Satisfaction Factors' so folks don't think all I think about is the negative aspeacts of the cards. Or do you think 'Elemental Harmony and Balance Factors' is a better name?
Elemental Harmony and Balance Factors
Over Abundance of Majors
1 - Card Over - Majors - wise decisions and choices
2 - Cards Over - Majors - wise decisions and choices, with the knowledge and skill to see them through
and so on ...
I will introduce a spread of my own called 'The Resolving-Evolving Spread' in another post and explain how the above charts can work for you in a reading.
