Map for System Constellation

The purpose of this map is to help to “read” constellations, and create ideas how to re-arrange a constellation. Frame of reference: the form of the human body:

• Behind: Back

• supported, carried, to be straightened up

• “standing behind me”, to learn on, letting oneself fall

» Resources from the background

• Left: left shoulder, left arm, left ear

• giving: to lead, defining boundaries, create a frame, to take by hand, support, hold

• receiving/taking: be supported, to be taken by the hand, someone/thing is standing at my side, I’m being consulted

• Right: right shoulder, right arm, right ear

• giving: to support, to cooperate, to take by the hand, to stand near to, to consult

• receiving/taking: to be lead, to be taken by the hand, supported, to be held

» Resources in the present



Map for System Constellation

• In front: Eyes

• to see, what's coming my way

• “to look into the future”, to focus on something, to start, to act, go for goal, to move on

» Resources in the future (as if an investment)

This map is applicable to the position of each element in the constellations. We considers the form of each element to be like the form of a human body.
