Sample Graded Readings
Question: "My new partner seems great, but something feels off. Am I being paranoid or seeing real red flags?"
Beginner Reading (C-level)
"The Moon means confusion, so you're not seeing clearly. Seven of Swords means lying, so they're deceiving you."
Issues: Oversimplified interpretation, ignoring context and card positions.
Intermediate Reading (B-level)
"The Moon suggests your intuition is picking up on something, but you're not sure what. Seven of Swords could indicate deception, but might also represent your own tendency to be suspicious. Queen of Swords advises clear, honest communication to get to the truth."
Strengths: Better context awareness, practical advice, considers multiple factors.
Advanced Reading (A-level)
"The Moon in the situation position validates that your intuition is detecting something beneath the surface, but warns against jumping to conclusions. Seven of Swords in the challenge position could indicate actual deception, but more likely represents your struggle with trust - perhaps based on past experiences. Queen of Swords as advice counsels using both intuition and rational observation: have direct conversations about your concerns while paying attention to how they respond to questions about their past, consistency in their stories, and how they treat others."
Excellence: Nuanced interpretation, addresses underlying patterns, provides actionable guidance while honoring complexity.
