Decision Spread

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

This simple but highly useful spread calls for a question to be asked in this format:

'What happens if I do (X), and what happens if I do not do (X)?'

Please note that it should not be viewed as a decision between two different options, but about whether a single option should be exercised or not. A second option would call for a separate reading.

Card #7 is the significator, the overall theme of the query.

Cards #3, #1, & #5 represent the chronological sequence of events that occurs if the reader chooses to do (X).

Cards #4, #2, & #6 represent the chronological sequence of events that unfolds if the reader chooses not to do (X).

Outcome if you do it:

 

 

Jack of Spades

Aquarius: A brilliant and restless intellect, this figure thrives on innovative ideas and a stream of ever-changing thoughts. Clever yet unpredictable, he often abandons one notion as quickly as it appears in favour of the next. In your reading, he challenges you to harness your creative mind while seeking consistency and depth—transforming fleeting inspirations into purposeful action.

 

 

 

 

Five of Clubs

Strife (Saturn in Leo): The Five of Clubs confronts you with the inevitable friction that accompanies any great endeavour. Under the stern influence of Saturn in Leo, this card signals conflicts—be they internal struggles, competitive battles, or clashes of will—that test your resolve. It serves as a reminder that growth often comes through adversity. It challenges you to confront your obstacles with discipline and fortitude, transforming strife into a catalyst for personal evolution.

Struggle, competition, opposition, violence, quarrelling, lust and carnal desire.

 

 

 

 

Two of Diamonds

Change (Jupiter in Capricorn): Embodying the steady yet expansive influence of Jupiter in Capricorn, the Two of Diamonds signifies transformative shifts in the realm of material matters. It speaks of change that is both inevitable and, often, pleasantly surprising—be it a new opportunity in business or a refreshing social encounter. This card encourages you to welcome change with a balanced sense of practicality and optimism, understanding that each shift paves the way for growth and renewed purpose.

Constant change, likely a pleasant change, visit to friends, wandering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outcome if you do not do it:

 

 

Seven of Hearts

Debauch (Venus in Scorpio): The Seven of Hearts warns of the dangers of unbridled passion when it tips into excess. With Venus in Scorpio intensifying its energy, this card highlights a descent into moral ambiguity—where the allure of indulgence may lead to deception and loss of integrity. It calls for reflection on your desires, encouraging you to cultivate a balance between passion and ethical grounding, lest you become entangled in fleeting, self-destructive pursuits.

Deception, shameless indulgence, lust, fornication, intoxication, delusion, promises unfulfilled.

 

 

 

 

Ten of Hearts

Satiety (Mars in Pisces): This card presents a paradox of fulfilment—a state where pleasure appears complete yet leaves an echo of longing. The Ten of Hearts, energised by Mars in Pisces, suggests that even when desires seem satisfied, there remains an undercurrent of what might have been. It challenges you to explore the nature of satisfaction: to recognise that true contentment involves continual growth and that each peak of joy is but a stepping stone to further emotional discovery.

 

 

 

 

Nine of Hearts

Happiness (Jupiter in Pisces): Effusive and expansive, the Nine of Hearts is a celebration of emotional well-being and the deep-seated joy that comes from embracing life's mysteries. Guided by the benevolent energy of Jupiter in Pisces, it signifies a state of bliss and inner harmony, where love, compassion, and gratitude infuse every moment. This card invites you to bask in the glow of happiness, celebrate your successes, and share your radiance with those around you.
