Reading Principle

How To Read This Spread

The Decision Spread is built for crossroads. It is less about abstract destiny and more about leverage, cost, timing, and what the querent is refusing to account for.

Once you identify the dominant position, compare it against the crossing pressure, the emotional tone, and the likely trajectory. That is where the real spread logic lives.
