Card 1 – SHOULD
This Card is telling you what you should do in order to manifest your desires. It could describe the actions themselves, or how you feel about them, or the effect they will have. If this Card seems to suggest a course of action that is harmful or destructive, then it is a warning from the Cards that you should reconsider your desire before committing yourself to pursuing it.
Card 2 – SHOULDN’T
This Card is telling you what you should not do if you want to obtain your desire. It may warding you away from a trap, or trying to grant you insight into your manifestation journey by pointing out a hypothetical action that would be useless. If it seems to point towards actions that would manifest your desire then either those actions are not as productive as they would seem, or the Cards are warning you that manifesting what you have in mind may not actually get you what you want.
Card 3 – LIKELY
This Card gives you a glimpse of the likely outcome of your attempt to manifest, given current conditions and trajectories. If you are currently on a good course then it is likely to be positive Card, although it accounts for the wisdom provided by Cards 1 and 2, so nothing can is yet guaranteed. Search for patterns or themes among all 3 Cards for additional advice or inspiration about how to make your desire a reality.

How-To Manifest Reading
Let the Cards teach you how to manifest whatever it is that you want. They will instruct you on what to do and not to, then give you a glimpse of a likely outcome.
As always, remember that the cards do not need to be interpreted literally, sometimes need to be interpreted creatively, and even loose connections they spark are significant because they came to mind.
Extra Cards
Optionally, draw a Number Card to for a check on your manifestation progress, and an Element Card to describe the current phase you’re in:

Doing a Reading
Ask or Explore
Tarot is versatile. You can ask a specific question—like “How can I improve my career?”—or simply draw cards to explore broader themes, such as relationships, personal growth, or hidden possibilities in your life.
Notice the Details
Every card has a position and context. These give a useful starting point, but pay attention to what stands out most vividly. Even if a card’s meaning initially seems unrelated, it might be highlighting something important you’re overlooking.
Trust Your Intuition
The cards guide you toward deeper connections and new insights. Trust your first reactions and intuitive impressions. If something resonates, explore it further. Often, Tarot reveals exactly what you need to hear, even if it differs from your initial question.
