| Use | Advice | Question | What should be adjusted if The Sun is the advice card? |
| Use | Outcome | Question | What is likely if the The Tower pattern continues? |
Reading Boundaries
A two-card combination gives context, not certainty. Use it to compare themes, timing and choices.
For urgent safety, health, legal or financial issues, use qualified practical support first.
