Read the image and the reflection separately
People, gestures, objects and spatial relationships can be starting points for observation. Yi’s text helps organize your present situation; it does not claim to unify every historical tradition. Each page credits its image and labels modern examples separately. Clothing adjustments on some images are also disclosed.
Bring a striking title back to a concrete question
Titles such as Death or the Tower can provoke strong associations. Read the image and notes, then ask what has actually ended or which arrangement has changed. A card title is not evidence of an event. Verifiable facts and a step within your control are more useful than guessing an outcome.
