As I shuffled, I asked their question out loud. I'm not one to verbalise questions in any ritualistic sense; I just talk to my cards. 😏 The moment the last word left my lips, the 9 of Cups flipped over in my hands.
That would be a yes, then?
But I decided not to use that as the first card, and instead pulled the top three cards for the spread. The last card I pulled was the Fool.
As I started to get into the reading, it just felt off. The cards didn't fit comfortably into their assigned positions. I looked again at that Fool card and realised what it was telling me. "You've gone too far; you're about to go over the edge."

I shouldn't have pulled that card. I should have stopped after the first three. I checked in with my deck – split the deck and checked the card on the bottom – to see if I was understanding it correctly. The Hierophant. Yes, now do as you're told. 😉 The 9 of Cups was the Yes/No, and the next two cards made much more sense in positions 2 and 3.
Reading completed, I checked in with my cards one more time… The Hierophant. (Seventy-eight cards, and...)
Performing a reading is something you and your cards do together. You're not out there on your own. Your cards** work with you. And they'll help if you ask. If you have a question, or you just want confirmation that you're on the right track (or not), pull a card***. Teamwork! 🤜🤛
* Self-explanatory 🙂
** More precisely, what works through these pieces of cardboard, works with you.
*** This is not the same thing as pulling endless "clarifiers". That just indicates a lack of ability to interpret a card in context, and a distrust or blocking of one's intuition.
