Path Tarot Spread: Finding Your Direction & Action Steps

How to ask your question

Focus on one specific path or initiative. Do not place two opposing choices in a single question, as the layout reads one journey at a time.

Question examples

• What holds me back at the start of transitioning from marketing to UX design?
• What is the main obstacle as I prepare to apply for this advanced program?
• What result is possible if I continue building my independent practice this year?

What the six positions mean

The layout maps your starting point on the left, followed by the core problem, available helpers, key obstacles, untapped potential, and the final result on the right.

Positions

1. 1 Starting point
2. 2 Problem
3. 3 Helper
4. 4 Obstacle
5. 5 Potential
6. 6 Result

If the helper and obstacle feel connected

Resources and risks often arise in the same area. Pay attention to how the potential card bridges them. If your direction is already settled and you only need immediate workplace steps, choose Career.
