"Hungarian alignment"

Fortune telling is carried out as follows. The deck needs to be well shuffled and laid out in three piles. Two cards must be drawn from each: one from the bottom, the other from the top. So, get 6 positions.

• The first and fourth mean the past, events, and experiences.
• The second and fifth are the present.
• The third and sixth are the future.

Before proceeding to divination, you should carefully study the alignment. The predominance of the Cups and Wands indicates that the situation in question is most likely related to the work sphere.

So, in the past, a fortuneteller faced a choice of what he needed to do. At the same time, 4 Cups indicates that the person chose luxury and missed something very important. If the alignment concerns the work sphere, it is possible that the querent made a mistake with the place of work or took something that he could not afford.

Despite mistakes in the past, good prospects await the person in the present. So, 5 Wands indicate that competition awaits a person, and 3 Wands indicate that he has great potential, everything will work out. The suit of the Wand itself indicates that certain difficulties await the person. Looking at the image of the cards, you can understand that now he is struggling, perhaps with colleagues at work.

In the future, a fortuneteller awaits the beginning of a new successful business. If fortunetelling is a relationship, this combination indicates a new love. Ace of Cups and “Sun” may mean a new job or a successful deal. In any case, it will end well enough.
