Tarot can be very helpful in the decision-making process because it often leaves you with clear and insightful feelings when you are on the precipice of difficult choices. Tarot never tells you what to do; instead, it gives you the lens through which you can examine your options or all possible outcomes as you guide your decisions based on your own introspection and intuition.One of the best ways to achieve that is through a card spread specifically used for weighing options.
The two-options spread
One of the most commonly and practically used decision-making spreads is the Two-Options Spread, which you can use to weigh out the pros and cons of each option. Ground yourself, shuffle your cards focusing on your question, then lay out three cards on each side. The first card for each row is the potential outcome. The second card outlines the challenges or obstacles you are likely to face. The third card provides specific advice or hidden aspects.
In other words, if you’re choosing between two jobs, drawing the Ace of Pentacles may mean financial gain, while the presence of the Three of Swords implies that there will be an emotional upheaval if you make this decision. Through analyzing these cards, you will be better at looking at which energies are active and influence each decision of your life.
Adding Depth with More Cards
For an even deeper evaluation, you can have other cards to go into outside influences or how each choice you make feeds into your long-term picture. Cards like the World speak of success, fulfillment, etc. while The Tower implies sudden change and unrest.
Intuitive Use
Decision making with the use of the tarot card is not merely about interpreting the meanings of the cards. You must access your intuition and voice your subconscious thoughts or fears- perhaps personal, that may influence your decision. And upon reflection of logical as well as intuitive aspects of each decision, the choice you make will become more balanced and thoughtful.
