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).

Five of Spades

Defeat (Venus in Aquarius): The Five of Spades embodies the sting of loss and the undercurrents of malice that can fracture resolve. With Venus in Aquarius tinting its energy, this card reflects moments of weakness and spite—times when external pressures and internal conflicts sap your strength. It cautions that defeat might be a necessary, though painful, lesson, urging you to recognise vulnerability as a stepping stone towards reclaiming dignity and reasserting your personal integrity.

Weakness, loss, spite, malice, trouble, dishonour, anxiety. A driver of wedges.

 

 

 

Outcome if you do it:

 

 

Ten of Clubs

Oppression (Saturn in Sagittarius): The Ten of Clubs serves as a stark warning about the misuse of raw power. Under the heavy hand of Saturn in Sagittarius, this card represents energy turned destructive—brute force that suppresses growth and stifles creativity. It cautions against the potential for self-imposed or external repression, where ambition may devolve into cruelty or malice if not guided by wisdom and compassion. It urges you to seek balance and channel your fiery energy constructively, lest it become an instrument of oppression.

Lies, repression, cruelty, malice. The element of fire in its most destructive form.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Ten of Diamonds

Wealth (Mercury in Virgo): This card encapsulates the pinnacle of material achievement—a culmination of diligent work and prudent management that leads to prosperity. The Ten of Diamonds signifies not only financial abundance but the completion of a long-term project or life's work. It invites you to savour the rewards of your labour, recognise the maturity of your achievements, and prepare for the wisdom that comes with experience and stability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Nine of Diamonds

Gain (Venus in Virgo): The Nine of Diamonds radiates the graceful influence of Venus in Virgo, symbolising the fruition of material efforts through enhanced wealth and fortune. It points to gains that come through careful cultivation and practical acumen—such as inheritances or steady financial growth. This card encourages you to appreciate and build upon the material blessings in your life, transforming small victories into enduring prosperity.

Inheritance, increase in wealth, material fortune, accomplishment.
