For beginners, the following fortune-telling is perfect.

Divination is performed as follows. The deck must be shuffled well and divided into three piles. From each it is necessary to draw out two cards: one from below, the other from above. So, you get 6 positions.

  • The first and fourth means the past, events and experiences.
  • The second and fifth are the present.
  • The third and sixth are the future.

Before proceeding to fortune-telling, you should carefully study the alignment. The predominance of Cups and Wands suggests that most likely the situation under consideration is related to the working area.

So, in the past, the fortuneteller faced a choice of what he should do. At the same time, 4 of Cups indicates that a person has chosen luxury and missed something very important. If the alignment concerns the working area - perhaps the querent made a mistake with the place of work or took what he could not afford.

Despite mistakes in the past, good prospects await a person in the present. So, 5 of Wands indicate that competition awaits a person, and 3 of Wands - that he has great potential, everything will work out. The suit of the Wand itself indicates that certain difficulties await a person. Looking at the image of the cards, one can understand that now he is having a struggle, perhaps with colleagues at work.

In the future, the fortuneteller is waiting for the beginning of a new successful business. If fortune-telling about relationships - this combination indicates a new love. The Ace of Cups and the "Sun" can mean a new job or a successful deal. In any case, everything will end well enough.
