Questions

Again it has come up about my taking massage therapy classes; time to address the question once and for all.  I am hesitant to take on more debt, giving up the job I have now, and do I like massage therapy enough to take on that job?  Will becoming a massage therapist allow me the free time to do some of the other things I want to do AND pay the bills?

So now comes how to ask the right question and what kind of spread to use.  I went to Google and 'asked' tarot spread, yes/no.  Tarotmoon was the first sight up.   For a true yes/no question, an upright card means yes, assuming one follows through with what is associated with the card, reversed is no unless one deals with the issue presented in the card.  Of the spreads listed, the one I favor is called Empowering 3-card spread. 

Example question:  "Will I be able to move to Chicago as I planned?" or "Will I marry John?"

Card 1: Factors in favor of the desired outcome
Card 2: Factors working against the desired outcome
Card 3: What is the most important factor that will help the client make this decision *or* if it is not their decision: What will be the deciding factor on which the decision is based

This spread does not give them a strict outcome, but it does provide lots of information the client can use to understand what is going on and why the end result is what it is. The reader can also look at the overall number of reversals and positive/negative cards to get a sense of how favorable or likely the situation is.  Pay special attention to reversed cards in the reading, since these indicate areas where the client has the opportunity to improve the situation - where there is a blockage or obstacle of some kind that can be resolved for the better.  Finally, if timing is an issue the reader wishes to deal with, the three cards can also be looked at for clues as to how long it may be before the outcome is known or the decision is made.
The author says that additional cards can be included to address other influences, the one I'd be interested in here would be market forces.  Many say that massage therapy is a luxury and not something that can be used in an economy crash.  I do not believe that what I do now, insurance, is going to be much help either; the effects, outcomes are already visible.

I'll pose this question this evening and let you know what turns up.
