5 cards

Career spread

Five cards on work, aimed at a decision rather than a fantasy.

The positions

Card 1 Where you are
Card 2 What you bring
Card 3 The obstacle
Card 4 The opening
Card 5 Advice

Use it at a crossroads — leaving, applying, negotiating.

How to read it

Lay the cards face down in order, then turn them one at a time and say what you see before reaching for a meaning. The image comes first; the book comes second.

Read positions against each other rather than in isolation. In a three-card spread the interesting information is usually in the gap between the first and the third — what has to change for one to become the other.

Reversals are optional. Decide before you shuffle, not when an unwelcome card appears.
