Think of the question and the circumstances. How would the first card apply to the situation? Let your imagination run wild. Write down all the possibilities that come to mind. Do the same with the other cards as you read.
You might want to challenge yourself to come up with 10 different scenarios for your favorite Tarot cards just to see how many levels you can build on them. Basically, Tarot tells stories about the cycles of our lives.
