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).

If you're going to use a pool stick, first be sure that you aren't one of the balls.
Outcome if you do it:
The Emperor
In this case King Sargon of Akkad. A great ruler in his own time rarely even makes the history books in ours.
10 of Swords
Classic iconography. Classic significance: Absolute destruction.
8 of Cups
D cups in this case. Don't be ashamed to enjoy your vices, and never regret the sins you enjoy.
Outcome if you do not do it:
6 of Wands
If you're stuck, the first step to freedom is to examine what's holding you in place.
The Tower
10:00 – Card 4
Male, Earth, Libra.
Failure and Loss. Defeat and ruin. The higher it's built, the harder it falls and the more it crushes when it does. That doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't worth building. Defeat can be accepted and the ruins left behind in favour of greener pastures, or one can start to rebuild. The latter is more difficult, but often more rewarding.
4 of Cups
When you order people to do something, be certain that your orders are clear.
