Merry meet!
Do you have a thought nagging at you over and over again? And you’re not sure if it’s actually worth the energy to be thinking about, or if it’s just anxiety brain having a tantrum? I sure do 
Here’s a quick spread to get a second opinion (and guidance, if needed) from your deck.
- Shuffle your deck, focusing on the issue or thought that is bothering you.
- Ask (out loud or firmly in your mind): “Is this something I need to worry about?”
- Draw a card.
- Check to see whether is a Major Arcana or Minor Arcana card and whether it is Upright or Reversed.
Major vs. Minor:
➔ If the card is a Minor Arcana card - the answer is no. Although it may feel stressful, it’s a minor issue and your guides believe it is not something worth worrying over.
➔ If the card is a Major Arcana card - the answer is yes. Your guides believe this is a major concern, and you should take action to begin preparing or remedying the situation.
Upright vs. Reversed:
➔ If the card is Upright - the situation is straightforward. Examine the card and its meanings for advice on how to release your worries (if it’s a Minor Arcana) or how best to begin handling the situation (if it’s a Major Arcana).
➔ If the card is Reversed - the situation may be complicated and will require careful thought in how to move forward. Examine the card and its meanings for advice on potential challenges that might become bigger problems (if it’s a Minor Arcana) or insight on key influences about the problem (if it’s a Major Arcana).

Example readings:
[ 1 ] “New neighbors are moving in next door. Is this something I need to worry about?”
Card: Ten of Cups, Upright
Interpretation: As a Minor Arcana, no - the neighbors are not something worth worrying about. As an upright card, there’s not much more to this. Additionally, the Ten of Cups is a positive card of emotional stability and success. The art on my card shows a happy family. It’s really not something to worry about, in fact, it looks like the new arrival may be a positive influence in the neighborhood.
[ 2 ] “I have a sense that I took too much spotlight in the game last night. Is this something I should be worrying about?”
Card: Five of Swords, Reversed
Interpretation: As a Minor Arcana card, it’s not a huge deal and not something to stay up late worrying over but being Reversed says let’s take a closer look. The Five of Swords is a card of conflict and when Reversed can represent dropping the swords of a dispute to come together and work through differences for a peaceful collaboration. The previous game was exciting and it was okay to act this time, but in future games, it will be good to be more aware that everyone is staying involved so that we can continue to have fun playing together.
