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 – Ennis has made it to midlife, with a steady job, partner, house, and family. Only, now things are boringly steady and they’re not sure if they should pursue a new job, or go back to school. Their partner is supportive of either, so now they’re coming to you for another perspective.
With your partner front and center there to help and support you in your endeavors, something new to spice up life is a good idea. Take time to think ahead instead of just about which options seem exciting right now in the moment. Consider consulting advisors that know more about the options you’re considering than you do. In seeking out guidance from others that know more than you, you’ll be better able to identify which opportunity is best suited for you moving forward.
Scenario 2 – Jo has had a string of short and ultimately unfulfilling relationships over the last few years, and is coming to you for guidance on how to find something more fulfilling, and maybe more lasting.
Instead of focusing on those people that make you feel excited and give you those wild tingles of excitement, in order to find something more fulfilling you need something more stable.
Lots of times, this comes off as something “boring”, but the excitement needs to come from the experiences you have with this other person, rather than from the person themselves. Seek those that can bring more to the table than just that fiery spark of chemistry, and you’ll be more likely to find a more long lasting match as a result.
Scenario 3 –A general reading (feel free to add your own flair or a backstory).
A new opportunity rests on the horizon, but it’s not something that you can take on by yourself. To start off on a good foot and encourage success in this new endeavor, make sure that you bring those with you in your life that are eager to join you in the journey, and take care to get some advice along the way from those that have tread this path before you.
