Card 1: The present.
Card 2: The immediate challenge facing the querent. You will often
pull a difficult card here, which will indicate an obstacle that must be
overcome. When you pull a "good" card here, examine it carefully because it will
still represet a challenge.
Card 3: Distant past, foundation. This card should indicate the root
of the subject matter of the question
Card 4: More recent past, including events. This will indicate events
taking place, not necessarily directly connected to the question. For example,
if a love affair going wrong Card 3 would show the root of why it is going
wrong, whereas Card 4 will show something that recently happened to reflect
this. You could see this as a "check comment" card - a way of seeing that the
reading is sound.
Card 5: The best that can be achieved. This is directly related to the
question. Note that this may not necessarily gel against Card 10 - it depends
with you are able to get the best. However, a negative card here probably means
that it is worth cutting your losses rather than putting an y more effort into
the situation.
Card 6: Immediate Future. This indicates events in the next few days or
week(s). This reading does not cover months.
Card 7: Factors or inner feelings affecting the situation. Compare this
against Card 1 in order to understand underlying forces/trends. If there is
conflict between them this tends to indicate that the querent is going in the
wrong direction.
Card 8: External influences. People, energies or events which will
affect the outcome of the question and are beyond the querent's control.
Card 9: Hopes or fears around the situation. This may produce a card
that confusesus badly. Always bear in mind that hopes and fears are closely
intertwined, therefore that which we hope for may also be that which we fear,
and so may fail to happen. Sometimes it is useful to draw a second card for
clarification after the reading has been laid, and to read the two together.
Card 10: Final outcome. This is a fairly self explanatory card. However
it is worth saying that if the card comes up somewhat ambiguous, once again it
may be worth drawing three extra cards to clarify. These should be interpreted
through the lens of Card 10. So if the card drawn is the Tower and we draw the
Ace of Cups, Princess of Cups and Four of Cups in a reading about a
relationship, the Tower would indicate that it is time to move on. The Ace of
Cup suggests that a new relationship is promised with better things ahead. The
Princess of Cups brings new love (and possibly pregnancy). The Four of Cups
shows deep levels of contentment and happiness, and many options for progress.
All Cards: Selecting an individual card that shows guildmembers will
indicate people whom might be related to that particular card's position and
reading.
