Here is a layout to answer the question, “How can I best support my friend during this challenging time?” Here are cards that I got in this sample reading.
Card 1 [What card describes the situation?] Chaos
Card 2 [What is my gift to give this person?] Determination
Card 3 [How do I give this gift?] Star
Card 4 [What do I NOT suggest to this person?] Advisor
Card 5 [What action may I suggest for him?] Temperance
The situation I did the reading for is certainly chaotic so this card is just right.
My gift to my friend, in this situation, is to help him focus and set out new goals based on the current situation.
The way to help my friend focus is by showing him the potential of who he is and what he is capable of achieving at the end of the chaos.
The cards tell me to NOT suggest he see a counselor at this time. He is still in the middle of emotional chaos and although counseling may seem appropriate, it is not right for him at this time.
What I can suggest to him is to wait until he finds his own equilibrium before getting more input from a counselor, which actually fits his circumstances perfectly.
This reading was different than what I thought I would do to help, and it gave me a different perspective and approach to the issue. I followed the suggestion in the reading which turned out to be very helpful for my friend.
