| The Self: indicates the things that are of the most importance to the Querent right now. Although it may indicate the situation they've asked about, sometimes it may be in reference to a question they're not asking, but that is still relevant. | The Environment: indicates the Querent's surroundings. Close relationships with family, friends, lovers and even co-workers are portrayed in these three cards. At times, it can show what sort of home or work environment the Querent is in. | Hopes and Dreams: shows the Querent's hopes and dreams. This is also where fears may surface. | Known Factors: reveals the things the Querent already knows - plans that have been put into motion, activities which have already taken place, failures the person is living with, etc. At other times, it may help pinpoint what the Querent is truly concerned about -- which is not always what they've asked. This column contains cards 4, 11, and 18. | Hidden Things: ndicates the surprised which may lie around the corner. Unforeseen developments often appear here, as do hints of fate, karma, or cosmic justice. | Short-term Future: what is immediately coming for the Querent's situation. These are events which will likely appear in the next few months. | Long-term Outcome: indicates the long-term resolution of the situation. In some cases, Column 6 and Column 7 may tie very close together. If this column's cards seem to be random, or completely unrelated to the rest of the cards in the spread, it may indicate that some unexpected twist of fate is coming. |
