Some further insight! I'm not overly familiar so take this with a grain of salt!
Melinda seemed to use the Tarot Star Spread. It uses 7 cards and it's used for more introspection and can be used for lis progression. But because this is in concern to Anya's question about Damian this could very well be why she used it. But it could've also been a plot hitn for Melinda's own inner work and healing!
What is typically used for talking about life's progression is the 7 card horseshoe (think princess and the frog).
Just some rambling but some extra context that was cool to me and this comment just piqued it more ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I don’t know much about tarot (and i don't believe in that much as well) , but I searched for the meanings just in case the mangaka is hinting at something. Here’s what it says:
Ace of Cups: New emotional beginnings, love, or creativity.
Death: Transformation, endings, and rebirth.
Ten of Pentacles: Legacy, family bonds, and long-term success.
The Star: Hope, healing, and inspiration after hardship.
Three of Swords: Heartbreak, betrayal, or emotional pain.
Four of Cups: Dissatisfaction or missed opportunities.
Three of Wands: Progress, planning, and looking toward the future.
The Three of Swords feels unsettling, but when I looked into it, it said that betrayal in tarot doesn’t always have to mean something terrible or permanent. Sometimes, it represents difficult truths, emotional pain, or conflicts that eventually lead to growth and clarity.
In this case, the surrounding cards—like The Star (hope and healing) and Three of Wands (future progress)—suggest that even if betrayal or heartbreak happens, there’s a path forward. This means they might face challenges, but they have the potential to overcome them and move toward something brighter.
