How to Read

Shuffle the deck while focusing on the person of interest. Draw 13 cards. Card 1 at the top — their goal. Cards 2, 3, 4, 5 — the feelings row. Cards 6, 7, 8 — the actions row. Cards 9, 10, 11 — near-term plans. Card 12 — what they hide. Card 13 at the bottom — the reason for hiding. Read top to bottom: from the goal through feelings and actions to what the person conceals and why.

Tips & Advice

The quartet of cards 2–5 is read as a single block — it's the full palette of the person's feelings for you. Compare the feelings block (2–5) with the actions block (6–8): if feelings are positive but actions are not — the person is holding back. Cards 9–11 show what to expect soon. The most important cards are 12 and 13: they reveal the secret and its reason. If card 12 is positive — perhaps the person is hiding a pleasant surprise. If negative — be cautious.
