The Sceptic's Tarot

A short-but-sweet spread for problem-solving:

1. And

2. But

3. Therefore

Here is a sample reading:

The deck: Modern Medieval Tarot.My problem is, "How may I best use my energy in the next three weeks, now that I've completed the most challenging part of my project?"

1. And: Six of Staves (Wands)

I feel I have conquered a mountain and deserve to praise myself for a job well done. A celebration is in order! I also feel that I'm not only riding home triumphantly, but also riding out on the last phase.

2. But: Four of Swords

The best way to conserve energy would be to take some time out before I tackle the next phase. The Four of Swords is about mental energy, however. What I need to take a break from is over-analysing what I have done and what I still need to do.

3. Therefore: Nine of Staves (Wands)

I am well prepared to meet any creative challenges that come up, as long as they require imagination and creativity, and I can give my mind a rest.
