Next Step

A simple spread based on the good old Small Cross. Suitable for a wide variety of situations, works well in tense moments when the querent is scared and doesn't know what to do. Allows assessing the current situation, gives a new impulse, advice on how to behave, and a forecast for further development.

Shuffle the deck while focusing on the situation. Draw 4 cards. Card 1 at the top — starting situation. Card 2 on the left — what's not important. Card 3 on the right — what matters. Card 4 at the bottom — the next step. Read as follows: first assess the starting position (1), then determine the contrast between 'not the way' (2) and 'the way' (3) — this is the key to the answer. Card 4 shows the near future.

The spread is minimalistic — only 4 cards, but very powerful. The whole secret is in the contrast between cards 2 and 3: one shows illusion, the other — reality. How they differ — that is your answer. Card 1 may bring unexpected revelation about what's really happening. Card 4 is not the final outcome, but precisely the next step: what will happen first.
