Card Positions

1

Root of the problem

This card requires reflection — it usually symbolically points to the reason for the conflict or source of obstacles, and sometimes draws attention to one's own behavior.

2

Advice, right action

What needs to be done to resolve the situation — advice, the right action, the best thing that can be undertaken in these circumstances.

3

Outcome

It should be taken into account that the outcome is not always favorable even with the right action taken — there are situations beyond repair where achieving a bright result is, unfortunately, not possible.

How to Read

Formulate the problem that concerns you, shuffle the deck, and draw 3 cards. Lay them out in a row from left to right. The first card reveals the essence of the problem, the second suggests an action, and the third shows the likely outcome. Read the spread as a story: cause → action → result.

Tips & Advice

This spread works best for specific everyday situations rather than major life questions. If the card in the "Root" position is puzzling — consider whether it points to your own attitude toward the situation rather than external circumstances. Sometimes the root of the problem lies within ourselves.
