Whip
The argument you keep having; discipline, sport, and anything done again and again.
Whip in pairs
This is where the meaning is. Whip leading means the reading is about repetition, conflict; Whip following means something else is being coloured by it. Same two cards, different sentence.

In a Grand Tableau, Whip is both a card and house 11. Whatever falls into that house is read through repetition, conflict — so if Fish lands in house 11, money is being read in the context of repetition, conflict.
If Whip lands in house 11 — its own house — that is usually called significant. It is worth knowing the arithmetic first: across a shuffled 36-card tableau the expected number of self-housed cards is exactly one, so this happens constantly. See the combinatorics on the main page.
Proximity is the other convention. Any two cards land adjacent 16.98% of the time by geometry alone — about one pairing in six — which is the baseline against which a meaningful-looking neighbour should be read.
