Game Plan Spread
Difficulty: Easy
When a person has a certain plan in mind, this simple five-card spread presents a choice, hinting at what action or attitude should be taken for their plan to succeed, and what should be avoided to help the plan work out for the best.
The initial card is laid in the centre of the layout, the significator. The following four cards are laid out clockwise around the significator.
In this spread, the second card is about what drives the reader, but also says they are not fully conscious of this, perhaps even completely unaware of it. It provides a hint as to the reason they strive for their goal.
The third card uncovers what others think of the reader and their goals. The reader may or may not be aware of this. Sometimes other people factor into the plans (and sometimes they don't).
The fourth card suggests what not to do. If things are permitted to go down this path, the plan will collapse.
The fifth card is a hint as to how to make this plan work out favourably. The idea this card presents should be followed to make the plan successful. It is the differences between Cards #4 & #5 that should be noted, as the differences provide important clues.

Queen of Spades
Libra: Embodied with elegant balance and perceptive insight, she stands as a paragon of fairness and refined grace. Her confident demeanour and innate sense of justice make her a natural mediator in turbulent times. In your reading, she encourages you to pursue truth and beauty, forging harmonious relationships that reflect both intellectual clarity and compassionate integrity.
A confident, gracious, just, perceptive, graceful, elegant woman.
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.
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.
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.
Ace of Clubs
The Root of Fire: This card bursts forth as the primal spark of creation, embodying raw, unbridled energy and the promise of new beginnings. It signals the moment when inspiration ignites—an invitation to harness your inner fire and pioneer fresh ventures. The Ace of Clubs encourages you to tap into that potent creative force and step into uncharted territory, trusting that the energy you release now will forge the path to future success.
Energy, natural force, strength, creation, invention, pioneer spirit, enterprise, source, beginning, birth.
