Reading tarot cards using a five-card spread is useful in shaping a course of action or decision-making. Use this spread if the seeker, or querent, asks for advice regarding a decision or an action they have to make.
- Card 1 represents the current situation or the general theme.
- Card 2 represents past influences that may affect the decision.
- Card 3 and 5 are the probable future and the potential of the action.
- Card 4 is the reason behind the question or the confusion.
