Lenormand yes-or-no spread

Direct answer

OpenFate’s three-card yes-or-no method compares declared positive and negative card counts, gives neutral cards no weight and returns Unclear on a tie; this is a symbolic leaning, not probability.

Use Lenormand yes-or-no spread with a Card layout method chosen before the cards or evidence are visible. Keep the first reading in writing instead of selecting a preferred meaning afterward.

How to apply the method

Choose the layout before drawing, number every position and preserve the complete card sequence.

For Lenormand yes-or-no spread, write the rule in one sentence before drawing or comparing evidence; unresolved inputs stay unresolved.

Worked verification

Suppose the declared polarity table scores Sun as positive, Mountain as negative and Book as neutral. A Sun–Book–Mountain draw produces one positive and one negative, so OpenFate returns Unclear. The neutral Book may identify missing information, but it receives no hidden half-point and does not break the tie.

A second check for Lenormand yes-or-no spread uses cards 20 Garden, 27 Letter and 3 Ship in that fixed order. Garden contributes “The public square, gathering or network shows the matter unfolding among people rather than in private.” Letter contributes “A written message, document or record places communication in a form that can be checked.” Ship contributes “Distance and motion point to a journey, trade, or a gradual departure toward somewhere else.”

Apply only the Card layout rule stated on Lenormand yes-or-no spread: first identify the role of Garden, then show exactly how Letter changes it, and finally state what Ship adds or limits. Save that sentence beside the original question so the drill can be repeated without reconstructing the story from memory.
