Two Paths

Two roads in front of you: see where each one leads

History

The two-paths spread is a staple of Japanese and Taiwanese tarot books. The card in the middle is you now; each side is one choice, read first as the way and then as the outcome. It does not decide for you; it lays both roads out in front of you.

What to ask

Torn between two options: two jobs, two cities, staying or letting go. Name A and B in your question.
