Tarot Collection 1:15 & 16 "Justice Spread" By rwcarter

...........Justice...........
........1............2........
.....3..................4.....
..5........................6..
7.............................8

Take Justice and Judgment out of the deck, placing them aside for now. Shuffle the remaining cards and pull 7 of them. Place Judgment in the new stack and shuffle again, focusing on the trial. Put Justice at the top of the spread. Note where Judgment falls, as that side is likely to win if nothing weird happens during the proceedings.

1,2 - The opposing sides
3,4 - Their goals
5,6 - Why they wish their goals to be met
7,8 - The scales of Justice, the ultimate decider of the victor

The questions/statements could be rephrased:
1,2 - Why they should/shouldn't become a citizen
3,4 - This will help/will hurt their chances
5,6 - The effect of the wheels of government
7,8 - Outcome
