The Grand Tableau is French for "the big picture." It offers a big picture view of your situation and life. It's a dimensional spread, and many aspects of your life can be addressed. Asking a topical question helps focus the cards' response into a cohesive story. Questions can explore romance, finance, one's life purpose, and more. The spread also explores the past, present and future, depending on the position of the significator (if significators are applicable).
