How to read a yes-or-no draw

Ask a closed question, one that a yes or a no could settle. “Will I get the job?” works; “What should I do about work?” belongs to a fuller spread.

Shuffle while you hold the question, then draw a single card. Its answer is the deck’s reply: thirteen of the Major Arcana say yes, four say no and five say maybe.

A maybe is not a dodge. Each maybe card names what the answer is waiting on, so read the note beneath the word before you act on it.
