“Where should this be going?”
The 5-card layout
1. Where you stand
2. What you are actually good at
3. What is blocking the next step
4. The opening you have not looked at
5. The direction worth taking
Hold your question in mind, then shuffle.
Turning the deck is why cards come out reversed. A reversed card is not a bad card - it is the same card at a lower ebb, blocked, or on its way out.
Five cards for the shape of the next step: where you stand, what you are actually good at, what is blocking the move, the opening you have not looked at, and the direction worth taking.
What each position asks
These meanings belong to this spread. A card is read for the place it lands in, so the same card says something different in position 1 than it does in position 5.
