28. The Gentleman, is the dominant card in the game, along with card n. 29, and shows us the happiness or misery of the person consulting the cards.

Original Instructions

The Gentleman and the Lady are the two primary Significators. If the client is an adult one of these two cards will represent them. The specific card is determined by the client’s gender not their sex.
If you identify as female, then the Lady will be your Significator. In contrast, someone who identifies as male will be signified by the Gentleman.
The remaining card will be used to represent the most important person in the seeker’s life — usually the spouse or love interest, but it can be a friend or sibling. Context will decide.
As the principle Significators, these two cards are of extreme importance.

The grand tableau or full-board is a topocentric snapshot of life. The Significator is the measuring point, with the different lines being the threads of Dame Fate. It determines engagement, the axes of influence, and the division of time. Their orientation in relation to each other and any cards that lie between them will all be considered.
In addition, you will note that the Gentleman and Lady are the Ace of Hearts and Ace of Spades, respectively. For this reason these two suits correspond to the paternal and maternal side of the family.
