You lead a reading group. Agree on the theme and invite different members to host, rather than selecting every book and controlling every discussion.
Read the position before choosing an action
In a “situation” position, use this example to describe a pattern you can actually observe. In an “obstacle” position, ask whether the pattern is missing, excessive or difficult to acknowledge. In a “next step” position, choose one small action and check its effect later. The same card does not require the same response in every position.

What do you notice in this card, and how does it relate to your question?
Write the card, its position, one observable fact and your first interpretation separately. Add an alternative reading before settling on an action. When you return to the entry, record what happened rather than rewriting the original interpretation to match it.
