The second layer of the mat is also divided into the eight compass sectors; each with its own characteristics. These character sectors are different from the element sectors. They attach themselves to the objects that fall within them. The characteristics have been taken from the traditional Zulu mat and may be personalized at a later stage.
As an example, if an object falls in the SouthWestern sector , it will inherit the characteristic of ‘cooperative’. This characteristic in combination with meaning of the object, the other related objects, the question asked and the ďŹ rst layer of the elements; will together, form a part of the interpretation.
