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 2 different options, but about whether or not a single option should be exercised. 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 you choose to do (X).
Cards #4, #2, & #6 represent the chronological sequence of events that unfolds if you choose NOT to do (X).
