Practice deck: all 78 RWS cards
Version and dealing convention
Also known as the Gypsy cross. A physical version lays out fifteen cards in three rows of five and reveals only the five cross positions. The practice draws those five directly.
A question to try
What can I examine about two perspectives, interaction, surroundings and possible development?
Before you draw
- Write one open question and define its scope. Keep factual questions separate from symbolic reflection.
- Choose the position order and decide whether to include reversals before drawing.
- Read each card in its role, then compare the positions. Note uncertainty and one practical next question.
Position guide

The other person’s current perspective
This position explores “The other person’s current perspective”. Compare the card’s theme with known circumstances, and note what you still need to check.
- 2
Your current situation
This position explores “Your current situation”. Compare the card’s theme with known circumstances, and note what you still need to check.
- 3
How to interact
This position explores “How to interact”. Compare the card’s theme with known circumstances, and note what you still need to check.
- 4
The surrounding conditions
This position explores “The surrounding conditions”. Compare the card’s theme with known circumstances, and note what you still need to check.
- 5
Possible relationship development
This position explores “Possible relationship development”. Compare the card’s theme with known circumstances, and note what you still need to check.
How to connect the positions
Reading sequence (read grouped roles together as explained below): 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5
Read the numbered positions in order, then compare related roles rather than treating each card as an isolated prediction. Write one practical question or action suggested by the comparison.
What to watch for
Positions about another person represent questions to discuss, not access to their private thoughts. A spread cannot establish consent, loyalty or whether someone will return; respect communication and boundaries.
