Speakout I think the vilification of the person who built the recumbent circle comes from the way archaeology is structured. They really don't like theories much, they prefer facts. Their reputations hang on a thread and anyone who dares to suggest something out of the norm can be outcast by their peers and never receive funding for new projects.
A few years ago, Darvill and Wainwright, when they suggested Stonehenge was a place of healing because the bluestones had come from a site in the Preseli mountains that has a sacred spring were absolutely torn to bits by their peers with a deluge of derision.
At the passage mound Bryn Celli Ddu, in 1907, sir Norman Lockyer noticed that the sun streamed into the passage on summer solstice. His peers did not believe him. In the 1980s, archaeologist Frances Lynch noticed Lockyer's theory and said other features lined up before the mound was built so the solstice alignment was intentional. He was ignored. In 2005, Dr Steve Burrow PROVED that lockyer's solstice alignment actually existed so it became an accepted archaeological fact.
A recumbent circle has a sideways stone with a flat top called the recumbent opposite the tallest stones at the entrance. The recumbent has a flat sided upright stone each side of it unimaginatively called flankers, so the space between the flankers is like half a rectangle or a square U shape. Every 18.6 years, the moon 'stands still' in the sky, called, yes you guessed, the Lunar Standstill. If you stand in a recumbent circle at the lunar standstill and look at the recumbent, you will see the moon roll slowly and steadily along the top of the recumbent stone.
Remember these were built 4 or more thousand years ago.
It gets even more trippy for the Lunar Standstill at Callanish on Lewis, (not a recumbent circle) but I'll shut up and let anyone interested google for that one.
Elphame oh wow! how wonderful to build your own circle, you can work with it and create such a special relationship. When I get a bigger garden and less close neighbours I will too, with alignments and all sorts, what a fabulous project and it will be ongoing because you'll notice something different about it all the time.
Queen absolutely will do for tomorrow.
Bloo I'd also agree with shamanic for the antlers. Our ancient ancestors wore them.

Yashmis well whatever question you asked when you did the CX spread, the answer was big change, I'm hopeless at interpreting tarot, but even I can see that.
I'm also hopeless at interpreting dreams, so won't even try, there are many more people here with that talent 
Hills I agree, the Leonardo tarot doesn't look suitable for a beginner, the one Speakout uses on here is so much lighter and almost tells you what it means just by looking at the image.

Sock I have no idea, like you I was always told 'sh*t for luck' as though it was a proverb.
Every time I come to the end of a post, I know there was more I wanted to say, but for now, that will have to do, I'm sure it's a long diatribe anyway, if anyone has insomnia, feel free to read it!
