The full ten-card examination. A question sharpens the reading, but silence is also an answer. Leave it blank for a general draw.
What is happening at the present time; your current state of mind and how you may be perceiving the situation.
The immediate challenge or problem: the one thing that, if resolved, would make life a lot easier. Even a 'positive' card here still represents a challenge.
The events that led up to the present situation, and perhaps an indication of how the challenge came about.
What is likely to occur within the next few weeks or months. not the final outcome, simply the next step on the journey.
Your goal, aspiration or best outcome with regard to the situation: what you are consciously working towards.
The subconscious realm: the underlying feelings and trends driving the situation, which may carry a surprise message.
A recommendation for what approach can be taken to address the current challenges, in light of everything else drawn.
The people, energies or events beyond your control that will affect the outcome of the question.
Hopes and fears are closely intertwined: that which we hope for may also be that which we fear, and so may fail to happen.
Where the situation is headed if the current course is continued. It remains within your free will to change it.
