How to Read the Spread
For clearer interpretation, start with position 5 (the past) to understand the origin of the situation. Then look at position 9 (hopes and fears) to reveal the emotional tension.
Next, examine positions 1 and 2, the main active forces: the initial impulse (1) and the supporting or opposing force (2).
Check position 3 (conscious understanding) and position 4 (subconscious root). Position 4 is critical — if a problematic card appears here, it may affect the entire reading, even if the rest of the spread seems positive.
Afterward, analyze position 7 (querent’s own attitude) and position 8 (external people or forces).
Only then move to position 6 (near future) and position 10 (long-term outcome) to draw final conclusions.
