A Psycard Prediction Scenario
This spread is designed for use with the Psycard deck. Use
of other decks will require adjustment of the card selection
for the Significator, Archetype and Verdict positions.
Reversals aren't used with the Psycards.
Significator
Archetype Card #2
Position Meanings:
Archetype: The Querent's ideal stance in the matter.
Significator: “The Inquirer” or selected topic card.
Card #1: What is at risk in this situation?
Card #2: What should I withdraw from?
Card #3: What should I aspire to?
Card #4: What will be gained?
Card #5: What will be lost?
Verdict: Is success likely or imminent? (Yes/Now or No/Never)
This is a “situational awareness” spread that can be used in
problem-solving and decision-making situations. The five-
Card #4 card line shows progress from the querent's initial
awareness and engagement to conclusion of the matter.
The top and bottom cards are meant to show consequences
of the querent's actions.
Card #1
Card #3 Verdict
Separate the Verdict cards (Yes, No, Now, Never) from the deck
before starting. Shuffle them and randomly select one at the end
of the reading to indicate the likely outcome, in terms of the
probability or imminence of success.
Card #5
Remove “The Inquirer” from the deck if using a topic card as
the Significator.
The intent of the Archetype Card is to show the querent's most
advantageous approach: firm (Father); patient (Mother); open-
minded (Fool); conservative (Sage), aggressive (Warrior).
Shuffle the five cards separately, randomly choose one, and
return the rest to the deck before starting.
