Card positions and meanings

Read each card through the role of its fixed position. A card does not mean the same thing in every place in a spread.

  1. Supporting Factors

    Motives, abilities, resources, and practical conditions that support changing jobs, making the transition, or accepting the opportunity.

  2. Opposing Factors

    Risks, lack of preparation, opportunity costs, and practical reasons that support delaying or declining the move.

  3. Judgment & Advice

    The evaluation criteria, preparation, or principles of action most important to the career decision.

  4. Resolution & Outcome

    The practical result or workable direction most likely to follow from making the career choice under present conditions.

  5. Central Synthesis

    The central issue on which the choice depends, such as a long-term goal, order of priorities, or responsibility that must be accepted.

How to use this version

  1. Frame one clear proposition and use only the 22 Major Arcana.
  2. Draw four cards for Supporting Factors, Opposing Factors, Judgment & Advice, and Resolution & Outcome.
  3. Add their numbers: a drawn Fool counts as 0; repeatedly subtract 22 from totals above 22; a result of 22 denotes the Fool. Place this calculated synthesis in the center and read it first.
