The Situation, Action, Outcome spread
The most practical three cards in the deck: what is true, what to do, and where that doing tends. It treats a problem like a sentence with a verb in it.
Try it now — turn each card. The shuffle is real.

How to read it
- 01
Situation
The shape of what you are in, named plainly.
- 02
Action
The move available to you — what doing something would look like.
- 03
Outcome
Where that action leans — the tendency it sets in motion, not a guarantee.
Ways to ask
- “What should I do about the apartment decision?”
- “How do I handle this conversation with my manager?”
- “I keep circling this — help me act.”
