Decision Layout

Difficulty: Easy
This simple but highly useful layout 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.
Rune #7 is the significator, the overall theme of the query.
Runes #3, #1, & #5 represent the chronological sequence of events that occurs if the reader chooses to do (X).
Runes #4, #2, & #6 represent the chronological sequence of events that unfolds if the reader chooses not to do (X).
