Only one card is drawn. This layout can be a challenge and a great way to tone up intuitional talent. The reader is to look at the deeper meaning of the card and relay either verbally, if the reading is for someone else, or in writing if using this layout in pathwork or kept in a daily journal.
Use for quick, immediate view of the fundamental dynamic of a situation.

If you are reading a reversed card in the third position it indicates a "no" answer.
|
|
If the card is a swords card or a 5 it indicates that the Querent will have to work hard at the trait presented in order to achieve a positive outcome.
Good for a simple yes or no question.

This layout is mid-way between the Triple Card Spread and The Celtic Cross. It gives a better, more detailed idea of how the situation that the reading is about came into being, why it did, and the liklihood of self-resolution, without getting as in-depth a view, or as many details as the Celtic Cross.

A good layout for situations dealing with matters of the heart.
For this layout it is most important to keep an open mind to all the possibilities at hand and not let oneself get caught up in the drama of the moment. What we want and what we tend to get usually are two different things as this reading often reminds us.
|
|
|
Involution: 1) The state of being involved. 2) The act of involving. 3) Intricacy; complexity.
Evolution: A gradual process in which something usually changes into a different, and usually more complex or better form.

This layout reminds us of our inner tools, one of the only things in this life that are strengthened through usage rather than diminished.
This layout is ideal for finding out how certain traits have formed. It can be quite interesting to find out how similar or different an outer manifestation can be from it's essence and through this layout a doorway between the two realms is opened.

"It is only through having confidence in our creative abilities that we can fully realize the potentional of not only what we have studied but what we know without having cause to know. We must continue to express this universe within and remain sensitive to others along the same path. We must understand that sometimes we are the teacher, but more often we are the student. Only when we learn to be an individual amongst a group, and be honest with ourselves and true to our integrity, will we ever know divine harmony and flawless justice. Only then will we be able to attain wisdom and find the potential and the purpose of our inner gifts." --Aleyah

The four results cards/runes (#13 - #16) should give the reader a thorough grasp of the dynamics of the outcome. All cards in this layout are laid out in pairs. The reader should be able to allocate the first in each pair to the Querent and the second to a lover, spouse, business partner, etc.

On the left side of this layout the #1 card is the position of control and should be given the greatest consideration. On the right side the #6 card carries the maximum influence on the situation as well as the reading. The #8 and #9 cards carry throughout for the long term outcome.
A great layout when reading a situation that has more than one implication.
