About this spread

A spread for a real decision between two options. Each of the two columns stands for one path: the top card describes what that road looks like, and the card beneath it names what the road will ask of you, the cost or the work it carries. The final card at the base sits apart from the logic of either column and speaks to where your heart is genuinely leaning, underneath the weighing of pros and cons. Read the columns to understand the choice, then let the base card tell you what you already quietly know.
