Block / building-block reading
A term from astrology, defined plainly — and shown in context in your chart.
Definition
The orientation that each placement is one piece in a larger structure. A single placement, in isolation, only describes thematic potential — the actual reading emerges only when aspects, rulership chains, and patterns connect placements into a coherent whole.
