A question to try
What would you like to examine about thinking, intuition, feelings, fears, desires and uncertainty?
Before you draw
- Write one open question and define its scope. Keep factual questions separate from symbolic reflection.
- Choose the position order and decide whether to include reversals before drawing.
- Read each card in its role, then compare the positions. Note uncertainty and one practical next question.

How to connect the positions
Reading sequence (read grouped roles together as explained below): 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 → 8 → 9
Read the outer four roles 1–4, then compare fear and desire (5+7) and uncertainty and expectation (6+8). Use 9 to integrate. “Intuition” is a reflection topic, not proof of supernatural perception.
What to watch for
A symbolic interpretation does not establish hidden facts or guarantee an outcome. Separate observations from assumptions and use direct communication for questions involving another person.
