- choose a reversible next step that does not depend on a promised outcome
Practical example
A player has postponed a career decision for several weeks. The cell points to avoidance; one rune is used only to explore direction, and two possible readings are then compared with scheduled conversations and real deadlines.
How to check the result
A useful reading leaves two possible interpretations, at least one verifiable fact, and a reversible next step.
Limits of the method
Does not predict the future or read another person’s hidden thoughts.
