The Four Nieces

The Nieces reveal emerging patterns, often unconscious or hidden, that arise when Mothers and Daughters combine. Look here for surprises or undercurrents you might have overlooked.

The Two Witnesses

The Witnesses act as moral or ethical compass points. They illuminate what’s just or unjust, right or wrong, guiding you towards integrity in action.

Judge

The Judge synthesises the Witnesses into one decisive verdict. This figure clarifies the chart’s strongest message or outcome.

Reconciler
