Yes or No spread
A single card read for direction rather than detail.

Card 1
The answer
Use it sparingly. A yes-or-no question usually hides a better question underneath.
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.
