On the Outcome of a Wish

Spreads for Predicting the Future

What the spread explores

This spread is designed to help you understand whether fortune will smile on you in the near future. With it you will find out how likely a specific wish is to come true.

How to lay out the spread

Formulate your question so that it can be answered unambiguously with "yes" or "no." Take the Wheel of Fortune card out of the deck and place it in front of you. Shuffle the remaining cards while concentrating on your question. Then spread them out face up in a fan. With your left hand, draw out any seven of them. Mix these with the Wheel of Fortune card and lay them out in two rows of four cards from left to right. Now you can turn the cards face up. Pay attention to the position in which the Wheel of Fortune ends up: the answer depends on exactly that.

Reading the positions

If the Wheel of Fortune turns out to be in position:

• Cards 1, 2 – the answer is "yes."

• Cards 2, 6 – soon, there's no need to worry too much.

• Cards 3, 7 – you will have to overcome obstacles to get an affirmative answer.

• Cards 4, 8 – no, you need to look for another way out.

If the answer is "you will have to overcome obstacles" or "no," look at the cards next to the Wheel of Fortune and take their meaning into account.

If the spread contains many Pentacles, this points to upcoming financial problems.

A predominance of Swords indicates struggle and resistance to circumstances.

If there are many Wands, the answer lies in an upcoming journey.

A predominance of Cups suggests that circumstances will work out in your favor and everything will succeed.

The presence of Major Arcana in the spread means the situation has gotten out of your control, and nothing depends on you — events will unfold as fate has decreed.
