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).

Jack of Diamonds

Taurus: The Jack of Diamonds embodies youthful practicality and a keen sense for the material world. Representing a person skilled in pragmatic affairs, he is dependable, resourceful, and attuned to the tangible aspects of life. This card may indicate a youthful figure—perhaps a messenger or a guide—who values stability and efficiency, yet may find himself at odds with more spiritual or abstract perspectives.

 

 

 

Outcome if you do it:

 

 

King of Spades

Gemini: A dynamic master of communication and wit, he moves with agile energy and versatile skill. His clever mind and active nature drive him to explore multiple facets of any challenge, though his quicksilver approach can sometimes border on impetuosity. His presence inspires you to embrace duality—melding rapid thought with careful deliberation to achieve a well-rounded vision.

An active, skilful, witty, clever, fierce man.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Nine of Spades

Cruelty (Mars in Gemini): The Nine of Spades confronts you with a raw depiction of suffering and malice. Infused with the aggressive energy of Mars in Gemini, it reveals the darker facets of human interaction—lies, despair, and the infliction of pain borne from both external conflict and inner turmoil. This card acts as a stark reminder of the perils of untempered aggression and the importance of compassion, encouraging you to transform harshness into healing when faced with cruelty.

Suffering, pain, malice, loss, lies, despair, slander.

A practical, kind, domesticated, affectionate, charming woman
