Leo: Expressing a wish clearly leaves room to hear another person. "4 · Wands" sets the scene; "8 · Cups" raises the challenge. Its Fire element, Sun rulership and traditional link to "Strength" provide symbolic context for the sign, not a claim about today's planetary transits.

Reading summary
Reading summary
The sequence begins with "4 · Wands", moves through "5 · Pentacles", and ends with "The Emperor". For a question about General, the move from Context to Closure suggests a symbolic development, not a certain outcome.
Several Major Arcana cards put more weight on the underlying issue than on its immediate details.
Pentacles is the dominant suit; consider how its theme runs through the whole spread.
Several court cards put different ways of acting and relating in focus; they do not establish anyone’s age or gender.
Repeated 4 cards connect separate stages of the spread; consider whether the same concern returns in a new role.
Compare this reading with actual events and conversations before making a decision.
