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).

Ten of Spades
Ruin (Sun in Gemini): At the culmination of a cycle, the Ten of Spades delivers a dramatic message of collapse and renewal. Bathed in the intense, illuminating energy of the Sun in Gemini, it represents the disintegration of old structures—where reason, when severed from reality, leads to disaster and the end of delusion. This card calls for a conscious reckoning with the forces that have driven you to ruin, urging you to dismantle what no longer serves you, so a more authentic and grounded vision may emerge. Spiritually, this card may mean the end of delusion.
Outcome if you do it:
Six of Clubs
Victory (Jupiter in Leo): After the trials of conflict comes the sweet taste of victory. The Six of Clubs, buoyed by the expansive energy of Jupiter in Leo, heralds triumph and the fulfilment of long-held aspirations. It suggests that your perseverance has set the stage for success and that good news is on the horizon. This card encourages you to embrace your achievements with generosity and let your victorious spirit uplift those around you.
Success, gain, good news, expectations fulfilled.
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.
Three of Spades
Sorrow (Saturn in Libra): Shrouded in melancholy, the Three of Spades brings the weight of sorrow and disruption. Under the sombre influence of Saturn in Libra, it embodies the inevitability of loss, delay, and separation. This card gently warns that the seeds of discord and melancholy, though painful, are integral to the cyclical nature of growth—each moment of sorrow paving the way for deeper wisdom.
Melancholy, disruption, discord, delay, separation.
Outcome if you do not do it:
Eight of Spades
Interference (Jupiter in Gemini): Marked by the restless energy of Jupiter in Gemini, the Eight of Spades warns against the dangers of distraction and needless complexity. It speaks of interference—where attention to minutiae undermines the broader vision, leading to restrictions and unforeseen misfortunes. This card urges you to step back from over-analysis and focus on the larger picture, lest the clutter of details obscure your true objectives and sap your momentum.
Five of Diamonds
Worry (Mercury in Taurus): The Five of Diamonds channels the cautionary energy of Mercury in Taurus, highlighting the strain that accompanies periods of stagnation or disruption in material pursuits. It speaks to the anxiety and potential loss that may arise from inertia or poorly timed ventures. This card advises you to address your concerns through practical reflection and clear communication—acknowledging that even moments of worry hold lessons that, once learned, can fortify your future efforts.
Seven of Clubs
Valour (Mars in Leo): Embodying the courageous spirit of Mars in Leo, the Seven of Clubs champions the power of bravery in the face of adversity. This card reflects the grit required to overcome ongoing challenges—even if the victories are small, they are hard-won and significant. It is a call to confront obstacles head-on, relying on your inner valour and determination. It reminds you that every courageous step, no matter how modest, builds the foundation for enduring strength.
Struggles, obstacles, difficulties met with courage. Small victories.
