Introduction
Option A / Option B is a simple comparison spread for decision making when you are choosing between two alternatives. Each card represents the experience of moving toward one option, showing its tone, demands, and probable direction.
This spread does not guarantee outcomes or predict certainty. It helps you sense fit. By viewing the options side by side, you can notice what feels aligned with your values and capacity, what feels heavier or clearer, and what each choice seems to require from you.
Instructions
Clearly define your two options and label them Option A and Option B.
Shuffle the deck while holding both options in mind.
Cut the deck when you feel ready.
Draw two cards and lay them out side by side, Option A on the left and Option B on the right.
For each card, consider:
What is the tone of this path?
What might it require from me?
What does it seem to lead toward?Compare the two cards and notice which option feels more aligned with your values, needs, and current capacity.
Optional: draw a third card asking, What do I need to consider before choosing?
Positions in this Spread

Interpreting this Spread
Read each card on its own before comparing them. Avoid rushing to decide which option is better. Focus on the felt sense of each path, not on what seems impressive or expected.
Notice differences in effort, clarity, and sustainability. One option may feel energizing but demanding, while the other may feel steadier or more supportive. Neither is inherently right or wrong. The point is to understand what each path offers and what it costs.
Return to your current values, energy, and priorities. This spread works best when you choose what is most aligned and workable right now.
More About this Spread
Option A / Option B is a flexible, beginner friendly spread that works for practical and personal decisions. You can also reframe the choices as long as the two paths are defined in advance, such as Stay / Go, Speak / Stay Silent, or Approach / Step Back.
Because it focuses on comparison rather than prediction, it pairs well with a follow up spread when you want deeper context, consequences, or next steps.
