Short Example Reading
The Querent asks: "Should I leave Susan for Jane?"
Card #1 (The Querent) = 4 Coins
Card #2 (The Quesited) = Moon
Card #3 (How they interact) = Wheel of Fortune
Judgement: Here Card #1 is Susan, and Card #2 is Jane. The Moon, and the WoF show Jane to be 'fluctuating' and impermanent. The relationship would most likely be fleeting and brief. Though the querent may presently feel tempted by the new and mysterious, he will soon realize that Susan is the sort of person he could 'settle down' with. She is nurturing, comfortable to be with, and easy to relax around.
