Thank you JSNYC!
I just tried your method and boy, it made a difference in my day/life!
I had been using another method before, but I saw something quite not right in the end and was just looking for an alternative. Man, this is it!
I'll tell you the cards.
I have had a long term project in mind for some time, I tried to cut the long term with other projects in between just to oil the machine, you know, get things going, using more firm bridges than what I think is the one I'll build, and basically with much less time and effort involved.
My first attempt in one of these lesser projects failed.
Just these days I was thinking to start the second lesser project, this morning I was about to write to someone to start it in fact.
I had no doubt it was a good idea, but I saw your spread and wanting to try it I thought I could investigate this pressing matter of mine. Hell, it said NO!
the cards were
1) Ace of Swords
2) 7 of Cups
3) Strenght
Now you see, both the 7 of Cups and the Strenght are very meaningful cards to me. I could say the 7C is my most hard to die sin on this planet, I love this card in that it so attunes to me, my following my thousand projects and fantasies, I can't begin one, I'm already thinking to the next 10, that's definitely me and my companion is tired of this, he is always telling me to focus on just one. He even uses the 7C and shows it in my face whenever I start again...
The Strenght, I had it in the 'past influence' position in the Celtic Cross I did recently, meaning I have to learn to not seek instant gratification, I have to learn endurance and apply it with love to my project.
The Ace of Sword, given that I have the Mythic Tarot and it is represented by Athena, I do not see all that negativity in the NO position, rather a suggestion to think clearly beyond the clouds of the 7C.
Then, just to state the obvious, I asked if by any chance that meant getting to work on my long term project.
Guess what, as I started laying the cards, the first one to land in position 1 therefore No, was the 7 of Cups again, a sign!
Then eventually
1) 2 of Swords
2) the World
3) The wheel of Fortune
The 2S I saw as 'not starting' would be denying to aknowledge your problem of dispersion
The World, maybe it answers to the question of the previous user too, it's a Yes and you'll become a whole person, reaching achievement finally.
The Wheel of Fortune, hell, I wanna see it as a good sign that lastly my luck will change! I will definitely evolve and create my fortune if I put the loving energy and time in my project and allow my potential to come out.
So thanks again!
I will be using it and not look back.
