Q - Querent card

Deal:  Select a card to represent the querent.
Shuffle and cut deck.  Deal numerically as shown.

Reading:
It is suggested that this reading be used if the querent has a
specific wish that s/he would like to happen, hence the name.

Each group of three cards has its own significance

Group  1: Environment
Group  4: Description of querent's wish
Group  7: Opposition
Group 10: Factors that will enter into this matter
Group 13: Realizations of the querent (usually in the future)

The nine of cups is often called the wish card.  If this card
should turn up anywhere in the reading, except in group 7, this
would be a strong indication that some part or all of the querent's
wish will come true.  The closer it appears in the above numeric
sequence, the sooner the wish will be realized.  If the nine of
cups appears in group 7, this is an indication that the wish will
probably not come true; the other two cards in the group will yield
the cause.  If the nine of cups does not appear, this should not be
taken as an indication of either fate, although other cards in the
reading may confirm or deny the wish.

Alternate Reading (Morison):
The following alternate reading was sent to me, but this
interpretation does not necessarily need to be associated with a
wish as above.

Group  1: Present, General Situation
Group  4: Resent Past
Group  7: Actions that can be taken by Querent.  Personality traits
     which my be used to querent's advantage.
Group 10: Uncontrollable aspects of the situation.  May be
     aspects/opinions of others.  May describe a new situation.
Group 13: Final Outcome
Card 16 (Querent in original): Optional Card, add it if the reading
     is confusing.
