Prompt: Andi and Sam are moving cross-country together to settle in a new city. One has a job lined up, and the other will be out of work on arrival. Out of the different three card readings shown below, which one provides the happiest result for Andi and Sam? Why do you say that?
Okay, so… fast and loose, short and sweet.
In the first trio, we see in the Emperor that there’s a good deal of responsibility being put on the shoulders of one side. This might foster a greater sense of harmony between Andi and Sam (Four of Wands), but only if the other party picks up the slack on the emotional side of things and becomes an emotional support for the one taking on the weight of responsibility (Queen of Cups).
In the second trio, we have a roll of the dice that can turn into true harmony or a very destructive situation depending on how it plays out (the wheel situation going on in the Four of Wands). They need to make sure that they are working together (Three of Pentacles) on their mutual goals and supporting each other emotionally along the way (Princess of Cups) in a give-and-take.
In the third trio we have another clear statement of risks being taken with potential rewards in the balance (Wheel of Fate). There’s going to need to be a lot of strategizing and communication between the two of them (King of Swords) to make sure that this change develops into a promise of good things to come (Death).
None of these promise a happy result, for it really depends on how Andi and Sam feel about the balance of work and support in their relationship. Are they okay with one working and the other saying home in a more supportive role? If so, then the first trio is the happiest result.
If they need something more balanced on who carries what chores and responsibilities? Then either the second or third will be the happiest, but there’s a greater risk of unknown results coming out of the third reading out of these three.
