"Yes, excellent point. The circle reading field is firstly seperated into 4 quadrants and then later into 12 sections representing the 12 week long periods of the reading." She nodded. "But really, the quadrents are just blocked that way so that the subject of the reading knows that a collection of things that the stones represent may happen during that overall 3 week period."
Make sense? Hopefully.

Calista crossed her legs and rearranged her skirts before moving on. "Very good answers everyone, even those who were not technically correct, I see the thought processes that went into those educated guesses." She grinned at them all, and made a mental note of those who were taking notes.
The warmth was definately creating a cozy learning environment and she was just glad she could wear sandals without her toes freezing off. Anyways back to teaching. "Many of you suggested correctly that our lithomancy reading field would be seperated into 12 sections that represent the upcoming 12 weeks of the reader or subject's life. Mister Vickers suggested a parent seperation class before that, 4 quadrants." She paused and went to the board to draw the diagram.
"This should help you better understand the concept. The black dividing lines are the 4 quadrants, the 12 green lines mark the one-week long periods." She sat the chalk back down into it's holder and returned to her seat.
Hopefully they were all copying this down, she understood it was more information than the last lesson but it was still all very important. "Before I set you loose to do something on your own, I am going to go over one more term and then ask you for your thoughts on another. When casting the stones into the reading field we will be studying where they fall, in what sections and in relation to others. So one of the important terms to think about when deciphering your lithomancy reading is the one called Cluster/s." The Blonde paused while they students wrote away. "Clusters are exactly what they sound like, they are groups of stones that have fallen closely together and seem to have something to do with each others." Yeah, easy enough. "So here's an example, say in my first section (the first week after the reading in my future) 2 stones fell directly beside each other, forming a cluster, Venus and Mercury. Now perhaps that means I will be able to communicate more freely with someone I love or perhaps they will finally approach me?" And no that had nothing to do with her pesonal life!
So now for their turn to answer something. "What do you think pointers are in a reading." If they thought about clusters they should hopefully get pointers.
Well looks like his wild guess wasnt so far off after all.He nodded his head dutifully, understanding now what the quadrants and the pie-sections (as diagrammed later) stood for. Four quadrants, each representing three weeks worth of forecasting, the whole circle containing twelve weeks or a quarter of a year.
He likes the organizational aspect of this mmhmm.
But the discussion moved onto the stones themselves, and Vickers was now back to scribbling those busily on his parchment. Clusters were clear enough indeed but Pointers?.... He stared at the stones, then at the diagram wheel on the board. Brows furrowed and another tentative hand goes up
"Pointers... give some kind of direction or indication as to what the Cluster of stones mean and how they affect each other and yourself at a certain point in time?" Guh, another guess, but at least now this topic was starting to make some sense to him.
