How to Read
Shuffle the deck while focusing on the situation. Draw 8 cards. Cards 1 and 2 at the top — identity and state of affairs. Cards 3 (left), 4 (center), 5 (right) in the middle row — cause, factors, direction. Cards 6 and 7 below — obstacles and lesson. Card 8 at the bottom — result. Read top to bottom: who you are and what's happening (1–2), why and where it's heading (3–5), what hinders and what it teaches (6–7), outcome (8).
Tips & Advice
The spread reads like a 'tree': roots (3) feed the trunk (4), which grows in a certain direction (5). Card 1 is you in the situation, and card 2 is the essence of what's happening. Compare them: if they contradict — you're misjudging the situation. Card 7 (lesson) is one of the most valuable: it tells why this situation was given to you. Card 8 shows the outcome if the lesson is learned.
