A card in the left position indicates what has happened to affect your question in the past.

Meaning: Your task is complete. There is literally nothing else you can do; it is done. Sometimes conclusion is not only something that we crave, but when it actually arrives, waving at the doorstep, it can leave us feeling a little bewildered. When the job is done, when that task has reached its desired or inevitable conclusion, there is nothing you can do but accept it, acknowledge it, and move on. For anything to have significance and meaning—to have any value—it must end. Eternity is a frightfully long time. Our human experience allows us to experience the nature of finiteness. Accept what has happened, honor it, and continue with your journey. A new beginning will naturally follow an ending. Ideally the World will appear in a conclusive position within a reading; its other more favorable positions are at the commencement of the spread or right in the center.

A card in the middle position indicates what is affecting your question at this time.

Meaning: The personality types that closely match that of the King of Shields are strong willed and have a quiet determination to them. They are disciplined and find a lack of discipline in others to be a rather annoying trait. Either yourself or individuals related to the question are successful, mindful, and considered to be of great support to others. This is a great card to have when matters of business and self-employment are pertinent, and it suggests that if the qualities of the king are emulated, success is sure to come. A mature mind is required for whatever task is being considered, but bear in mind the king, whilst sure of himself, is never cocky or foolhardy. There is a humility here, albeit one that takes no prisoners.

A card in the right position indicates your questions future.

Meaning: Often bad news makes for a better reading, or rather a chewier reading. Whilst you should take note of the position of the Sun card as being central to any reading, be aware that it can almost appear a little sickly sweet. Things are going well; there is joy and cheer aplenty. This is an immensely positive card: things are on the upswing, the situation will be illuminated, and enlightenment will ensue. Whilst happiness is a fleeting, unsustainable affair, behold that happiness is coming your way. So be optimistic and positive—let go of the negative feelings or fear that you have surrounding this question. Everything will work out just fine.
