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

Meaning: This is a good card to reveal in a reading, particularly if the nature of the question involves the home, community, and matters that concern stability of friendships, relationships, and business. This may not exclusively relate to a physical home but can also represent that your ideas and seeds of thought have been honored and given form. Things are looking good; there is harmony about you, and if there is a preponderance of cauldrons around this card, particularly the Two and Three of Cauldrons, then the reading suggests that relationships are harmonious and bear good communication. This card represents a marriage of ideas as well as a physical marriage. Above all, celebrate the joys of your labors.

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

Meaning: This card embodies the truth against the world, the moment of utmost clarity, when an idea springs to mind and is just perfect in its formation. This is the power of clear mind, one that will cause great—and at times terrible—change. This card indicates the light bulb moment, the genius thought that will change everything about this issue or question. But be careful, for the intellect can be cold and harsh. This card expresses the extremes of thought with potentially very little of the three other suits to balance it. Having an intellectual understanding of what is right and true can be unhinged if not moderated by the qualities of the other suits. Look for other suit cards to make sense of what is being hinted at here.

A card in the right position indicates your questions future.

Meaning: Sometimes the only thing we fear is fear itself, and change comes with its own smattering of fear. This card is not about transformation per se, but about allowing for inevitable transformation to occur in a manner that is not painful or jarring. For the waxing and waning seasons whose life force is given impetus by the dying of each season in turn, something remains of the previous season, and the same is true for the Death card. Let go, relinquish your grip, and trust that the situation needs to end for a new beginning to arise from the ashes of the old. Death is not a bad thing—it is essential—but rarely, if ever, is this card suggestive of physical death; rather, it's about the end of a situation that is pertinent to the question. A new dawn is ready to rise.
