Powerful One-Card Tarot Spreads

Part 10

Either-or questions can be handled as a yes-no question by rephrasing the question. Another way is to assign the upright cards to option one and the inverted cards to option two. I used this variation several weeks ago:

Q - Should I do the (blank) ritual today or wait and do it later? (Upright = now, Inverted = later)

A - The inverted Six of Wands = later A2 - (The next day) Inverted Two of Cups = later A3 - (Day 3) Inverted Moon = later A4 - (Day 4) Inverted Ace of Swords = later A5 - (Day 5) Ten of Pentacles = today

An interesting aside is that day five just happened to be February 16th, a Full Moon day. Special rituals tend to work better for me if started on the new or full Moon or first and third quarter Moons. My regular rituals seem to work better for me if done just before sunrise. I don't have any idea what will work best for you. But the good news is you can experiment and discover the answer for yourself.

Q - What do the cards say in respect to these two men in my life at this time or is there another prospect on the way?

A - In answer to Is there another prospect on the way? the card drawn was the Seven of Earth. Yes, there's another prospect on the way if you want to wait for him or her to appear in your life.

In answer to the first question, the card for Man #1 was the Inverted Devil. He has a problem being tied down in life and enjoys his freedom to be and do what he wants when he wants to be and do it.

The card for Man #2 is the Hierophant. He's a man of habits who likes to do things in a set routine. You can expect him to do what he's always done.

In answer as to which one is the better choice for you right now the card was inverted Nine of Swords. This indicates Man #2 is the better choice but it's not an easy choice for you to make. In answer as to whether the unknown prospect would be a better choice than Man #2, the card drawn was the inverted Ace of Pentacles. No he would not be a better choice at this time. Good luck.

You'll notice I ended up doing four separate one card readings for this compound question. One of my own rules for doing tarot readings is One question at a time. That means I normally break compound questions up into two or more questions and answer.

A second rule is to answer the unasked question hidden within the question actually being asked. In this case, she didn't specifically ask which man was a better choice, but that question underlay the one she did ask.

This concludes our discussion of Powerful One Card Tarot Spreads using Dynamic Elemental Tarot Spreads. My hope is you've found something to help you along the way. Your assignment this week, should you choose to do it, is to continue experimenting with various questions using the Dynamic Elemental Tarot Spread. In the meantime, have a wonderful week.
