The Game: The seeker asks a question in the Yes/No format, for example, Will this be resolved to my satisfaction.
The play: The seeker shuffles all of tarot cards, righting them up first, until they feel "complete" i.e they no longer want to shuffle. Then they either put the shuffled cards m in three piles or one large pile. Dealing from the top, the seeker keeps turning up cards stopping at an ACE or at the 13th card.
Once you get to the end of that run, you then start with the next card and begin the cycle again or start with a new pile and begin again there. In all of my experience using either just one pile or three individuals has made no difference, what does make a difference is if you decide to add in the modern invention of the 9 of cups (the wish card), so typically I don't.
Now that you have that have your three piles you review the answer, in this case the seeker, this was done for someone a while ago, got the Queen of Pentacles, Ace of Cups, Ace of Swords. I used the Jane Lyle Renaissance Tarot (Marseilles Based) .
Two aces showed up meaning most likely but it will require a lot of work (queen of pentacles), also how much work is how quickly you found the Ace. Had the seeker gotten only one Ace but it was first up, it would have meant possible but entailed hard work with the Ace, telling the seeker the type of work involved. Here the Ace of Cups was quick, so we know that the seeker really wants this. The Ace of Swords shows up quickly as well, telling us that they will have to use communication skills and not lose faith.
When 3 aces (a hatrick) show up, that would be a strong yes with the same caveat of how quickly the ace showed up and what type of Ace they were -- a love question with no Cups is a questionable yes, don't you think?
Gematrically in this game, as well as historically, the Queens and all the Courts are unvalued as well as they signified people or outside forces. Here in this run, they probably represent the seeker and showing up first, represents that the seeker knows it and realizes her irresponsibility.
Tarot - a deck of cards with which one plays a game Imperfect - not complete, not perfect, wanting a part, liable to err, not perfect in a moral view, faulty, designating a tense of the verb which denotes an action in time past, then present, but yet not finished.
