Two Choices Online Tarot Reading

Best for when you're hesitating between two options. In-depth analysis of your subconscious and both paths.

What questions does this spread suit?

  • Is option A or option B better for me?
  • What if I quit and start my own thing — versus staying employed?
  • Two people are interested in me; which one should I choose?

7 card positions

  1. Position 1 · Inner self / leaning
  2. Position 2 · Path A: current situation
  3. Position 3 · Path A: process
  4. Position 4 · Path A: outcome
  5. Position 5 · Path B: current situation
  6. Position 6 · Path B: process
  7. Position 7 · Path B: outcome

The classic five-card layout

The most widely taught two-choice layout uses five cards: card 1 is the querent and the present situation, cards 2 and 3 are how option A and option B stand right now, and cards 4 and 5 are where each one leads. What this site uses is the extended version — one extra card on each path for the process, so that "why it ends up there" is on the table as well.

How the two layouts line up

  • Classic 1 (the querent) = card 1 here (inner leaning)
  • Classic 2 / 3 (A and B as they stand) = cards 2 / 5 here
  • Classic 4 / 5 (where A and B lead) = cards 4 / 7 here
  • Cards 3 / 6 here are the process on each path; the classic layout has no equivalent

Decide what A and B stand for before you draw, and hold it firmly in mind. Once the two paths get mixed up there is no way to read the spread — that is the usual way a two-choice reading goes wrong, and it has nothing to do with how many cards you use.

How to use it

  1. Write your question as one sentence you can compare against and act on.
  2. Read what each position means before you draw.
  3. Record your own reading, weighing the position, the reversal and your real situation.
