Prompt: “The purpose of this activity is to practice interpreting small spreads by combining card meanings, symbols and intuition. We will all interpret the same cards based on a few different (imaginary) situations. A 3 card spread will be posted together with 2 more specific scenarios. It’s your choice which scenario you’d prefer to use, or if you’d rather do a general reading of these cards as for an imaginary querent.”
Scenario 1 – Jordan is trying to get over their jealousy of their ex dating someone else. They know it’s irrational but keeps cycling back to their ex and they’re coming to you for guidance and advice.
Sometimes in order to move on from a particularly significant phase in our lives (The World) it takes not just hard work on our parts (Eight of Pentacles), but help from others as well (Three of Pentacles). Make sure that you are including those around you in your pursuits for freedom from these feelings and the new beginnings you are trying to build in your own life. Tell them you are struggling and let them help you in creating something new that doesn’t involve a constant focus on your ex.
Scenario 2 – There is a conflict at Joey’s workplace involving his manager and a coworker. Joey wants some guidance on how to navigate this situation.
Both of these people are important to your work, and it would behoove you to insert yourself into the situation (Three of Pentacles) and help them sort things out. Guide them toward turning over a new leaf in their working relationship with each other (The World), and remind them how important working together is in performing at their individual bests at their job (Eight of Pentacles).
