Time with the tarot gets exciting when delightfully quirky things happen as they did this morning while I was working with a client. We used a six-card layout (see below) twice; once to explore option A (“What if I go ahead with this idea?”) and again to explore option B (What if I decide to let this idea go?”). Both times, the 7 of Wands reversed came up in the first position (hir motivation). The idea of this person as a laboratory of hir own life, self-esteem, and growth as well as experimenting with who s/he might be was hir motivation for both options. Ha! We both laughed for a couple of minutes or so when the same card turned up in the same position for both layouts. It seemed to me/us that the motivation, with or without Options A or B, was the greater learning.
Here’s the layout we used for each option:
6
4 5
2 3
1
-
My motivation for pursuing this option.
-
The advantages of pursuing this option.
-
The disadvantages of pursuing this option.
-
Resources that could support me if I pursue this option.
-
Blocks that could hinder me if I pursue this option.
-
How I’ll most likely feel about pursuing this option by [chosen time frame or date].
Evolutionary Tarot & Circle Ways 
What a lovely spread! Will leave you with some information when I have had time to try it for myself!
Glad you like it! Remember that you reshuffle and lay out this spread for each option you have. It helps one to gain insight into each potential choice.
Lovely spread!
I got a repeat card for A #5 —- blocks that could hinder and B #1 motivation for not pursuing.
The card was 3 of Water Rx (Gaian Tarot).
I see I am afraid about being alone while I pursue this idea, when in fact I have a circle of ottery folk who would love to play with me with this idea.
Time to give that fear over to source!
I did not get a repeating card per se. But in both readings in postion 6 I got two very positive Marjor cards. Star for pursuing the new option and Gaia for Staying as it is. Which leads to conclude that for me it starts to emerge that however I choose to stay at this particular job really is not important, but I have to look at different areas of my life to find that answer to the unsaid question.
