The Significator of the Body

[JustLikeYou]

Well, in the first place, I think a straightforward definition of this particular term is not going to be terribly useful because it is the context of its usage that really fills it with meaning. In other words, to get a good feel for what the word "significator" means, it would help to actually do some readings in which the significator card is relevant. Then you can see how this concept interacts with the concepts that surround it within the context of the reading.

That said, the whole reading is about the querent. That there is a significator card within the reading is a strange phenomenon when you think about it. It is like your conscious presence within your dreams. The whole dream is about you, but the whole you is also inside of that dream. It's a paradox. If you know anything about set theory, you might consider the set of all sets. This set is paradoxically found within itself (for how could it be the set of all sets if it did not contain the set of all sets?). Thus, the Significator is the whole when pictured in relation to the aspects which are in motion within that whole. This is precisely how I have interpreted the term in my own threads.
