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 – Alba is moving to a new country, and wants to know how to make it go smoothly.

Moving is always difficult, because you are leaving things behind that you otherwise would hold on to. Keep in mind, though, that you are also leaving behind those things that are not working for you, and opening up an opportunity for better, healthier possibilities and opportunities to take their place.

Make sure as you begin to settle into your new home and country that you keep a firm grasp on what you want out of this move. It’s only through steering yourself in the direction you want to go in that you’ll find the success and abundance you seek.

Scenario 2 – Gray wants to figure out some advice for navigating their new job. They just got hired in a competitive field through a temp agency.

No one is going to give you what you want out of this experience. You’re going to have to reach out and grab it for yourself.

Make sure as you start on this new endeavor that you leave in your wake those past habits and tendencies that haven’t worked for you previously. They won’t work for you now, either.  By leaving them behind, you “till the soil” of your career and open up space for new growth and success to occur.  Just remember, this isn’t a gift. It’s something you’ll have to work at. Determination is what will get you through, so “tighten your bootstraps” and get going.

Scenario 1 – Kayla is having a hard time getting along with her teacher. She’s a little shy, and the presentations they do in class make her anxious. She wants to know how to just get through the school year.

Look at these presentations less as a trial to get through (Five of Pentacles) and more as a skill to be learned and honed (Page of Pentacles).  Remember that you are not the only one that is nervous about doing their presentations.  Because of that, when it goes badly, others are going to be supportive… and when ti goes well they will celebrate with you (Wheel of Fortune).

Scenario 2 – There’s been some changes in Martin’s life and he’s trying to figure out the best way to tell his mum about them.

Ease into introducing your mother to these changes in your life instead of dropping them in her lap all at once (Page of Pentacles).  If she’s not given enough time to adjust, she won’t take the news well (Five of Pentacles).  Timing is also an important factor, for her reactions will be different depending on not just how you present these changes to her, but also when you do so (Wheel of Fortune).
