Spread sheet
Date Question
Three cards — for a decision
Use this when you are choosing between two things, or wondering whether to move. Draw left to right.
1
Where you are
The situation as it actually is, not as it feels at 2am.
2
What’s in the way
The obstacle. Often your own hesitation wearing a disguise.
3
Where it leads
The direction of travel if nothing changes.
Five cards — for a situation you cannot read
Use this when something is stuck and you do not yet know why.
1
The situation
2
What you bring
3
What is hidden
4
What helps

Where it goes
Reading it back
- Read the spread, not the cards. Three cards in a row is one sentence, not three. What do they say together?
- Reversals are not opposites. Blocked, delayed, or turned inward — a yes that needs more time, or a no already loosening. On the hard cards, the difficulty easing.
- Write it down before you interpret. Card, position, first reaction. The first reaction is usually the honest one.
- Ask once. Redrawing until you like the answer is shuffling until you agree with yourself.
- Come back in a week. Note what actually happened. This is the only way reading gets better.
