Spread · 7 cards
Horseshoe
Seven cards in an arc — the classic 'whole situation' spread. It walks a question from its roots through what is hidden and who is involved, and ends not with a verdict but with advice and a direction.
When it helps: Complex situations with history, other people, and no single clean question.

Others Around You
The people in the frame, and what they bring.
