Decision Layout

Difficulty: Easy

This simple but highly useful layout calls for a question to be asked in this format:

“What happens if I do (X), and what happens if I do not do (X)?“

Please note that it should not be viewed as a decision between 2 different options, but about whether or not a single option should be exercised. A second option would call for a separate reading.

Tile #7 is the significator, the overall theme of the query.

Tiles #3, #1, & #5 represent the chronological sequence of events that occurs if you choose to do (X).

Tiles #4, #2, & #6 represent the chronological sequence of events that unfolds if you choose NOT to do (X).
