yes, I have a different method.
I only use one card, or at the most, two.
I always put the question in positive terms, so that if a positive card turns up, I know for sure it is a yes.
so, e.g. : will the results from the test be clear and good? Or, will the doctor tell me some good news after the test is interpreted? For a medical test, I don't want to ask if the results will be positive, because a positive result in medicine is bad!
But, for other things - will my dog like this brand of food? Or, will he call me tonight? Or, will I find the perfect outfit today while shopping? Or, will my parcel arrive this week? That kind of phrasing.
I shuffle while focusing on the question, and cut the deck in two, and pick up the card on the top of the right sided pile. Usually, I get either one very positive or one very negative card.
If I get a really neutral card, and it feels too ambiguous, then I also look at the card on top of the other pile. If it is also neutral, then I assume that the cards themselves are suggesting a "maybe" and will try again a day later, providing the question was not for that day itself.
If the second card on the left is negative, then I assume a no, but not with bad results; and if it is positive, then I assume a yes, but likely more lukewarm than I would have wanted!
