When to use this spread
A middle ground between five cards and the Celtic Cross: adds past, hidden influences, and a possible outcome without the complexity of ten positions.
Why this spread
Between five cards and the Celtic Cross there is a missing step, and the Horseshoe fills it. It adds the past, a hidden influence and a possible outcome, three things five cards cannot hold, without demanding the ten positions of the Cross. Right for a situation that feels too big for three cards but does not justify a full reading.
What sets it apart
Lighter than the Celtic Cross and broader than the 5-Card Question Reading.
Position meanings vary between traditions; AGAT should keep one consistent house version.
Example questions
What is behind the stagnation at work, and where is it going?
What am I not seeing in this situation, and what should I do?
