Kuzushi in Judo is usually taught in 8 directions. I saw this photo online from a Judo sensei which indicates that 14 directions can be used. In Aikido technique Fujita sensei stresses the principle of using the mae and sumi otoshi points. These virtual points present themselves best when uke stands in a combative sword like stance. When uke has a more Judo type posture maybe the 14 directions presented in the picture can be studied and applied.
So weight of uke on both feet use sumi and mae otoshi points. When uke floats or is grounded these work the best.
When uke is moving and therefore is using one foot use the directions as used in Judo practice.
Enjoy practice.
