Stay in My Country or Move Abroad?

“Do I stay where I am, or go?”

The 9-card layout

1. Where you are now
2. Staying: what opens
3. Staying: what it costs
4. Staying: where you end up
5. Leaving: what opens
6. Leaving: what it costs
7. Leaving: where you end up
8. The factor you keep skipping
9. What to do with that

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.

You at the top, staying down one side and leaving down the other, each read for what opens, what it costs, and where it ends up - with the overlooked factor and guidance down the middle.

  • 9 cards
  • One person
  • Upright & reversed
  • 2–5 years

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 9.
