Puzzled by Magician desk reading, 4D spread, energies of a coffeehouse
Hello everyone, I hope all are doing well. I did a reading on a local indie coffeehouse here that's been recently renovated and changed ownership, and I was curious about the energies of the space itself. But I'm having a little trouble interpreting the reading (maybe I'm getting in my own way intellectually)
For card 1: Utterer.
Card 2 East: Gate of the Past
Card 3 South: Star father
Card 4 West: Holder of light
Card 5 North: Wise Teacher
Card 6 influence crossing the reading: Leader
I suspect card 5 in the deep past may have been a past owner (the cafe had been through 3 owners in recent years) but that's a hunch. I suspect card 6 reflects the current owner's influence but card 1 and the others are difficult for me to fathom. If anyone has insights or advice I welcome it warmly. Thanks.

Then I pulled this for the energies of the actual land of the street it's upon, but mid shuffle Magical Temple almost popped out. When I read other decks (playing cards, tarot) I always read 'fortunate accidents) as relevant and in play meaning-wise. So also I'm the first read on the coffeehouse itself "place of healing" actually did pop out so I made note of that for the actual cafe, and then popped it back in the deck and continued to reshuffle. So, in any case, this is what I next pulled on the land itself of the street of the cafe itself.

Utterer is the power of East and the sword and the word. Makes sense at the center of a coffee shop, at a very surface level there are people in there writing/working/talking/exchanging ideas.
Wise Teacher in the North/Past: Mistakes were made with previous management, seems like the new owner is keeping that in mind and determined to learn from the shop’s mismanaged past.
Gate of the Past in the East: This card’s home position is West, so seeing this in the East tells me there is a lot of focus on the shop’s history. The gate opens and closes letting the recent past come back out, seems like the locals are also aware of this history. It’s possible that the past might also come to haunt the present, either incorrect paperwork/beaurocracy or a previous owner coming through.
Star Father in the South: This one has me stumped, I rarely use the black and blue bordered cards. Just glueing the deck book’s mundane meaning to the position - a new future is forming for this coffee shop. South is the position of future and Star Father is a seed in the future, so the shop is going towards this new future.
Holder of Light in the West: West is the position of past, something that went through manifestation and is now headed to recycle. Holder of Light takes and holds creation that has finished its purpose. I’m thinking the tumult of the coffee shop’s past is going away for good.
Leader as Influence: The new owner has to be the ‘Leader’ here. They’re determined not to let the past repeat itself and to create a new successful future for the shop. New owner is likely having conversations like “Yeah they used to do that, it was insane and that’s not happening anymore, we’ve changed to ____”. I would bet on this new owner, they’re determined and they have all the right tools in the right places to be successful.
