Backwards Tarot Prompts
Forum rules
Inspired by this post on Llewellyn's blog by Susan Chang, here's a quick exercise where the situation comes first, and then we choose a card to represent it.
For the prompt, you can use the one the person before you used or add your own, whichever you prefer. One option is to use a prompt generator like this one.
Then choose the card that best represents that prompt in whatever tarot deck you're considering. You can explain why you chose that card, or you can just quickly tell us the card and deck.
(It's not about picking a "correct" card. Decks vary, and as the post linked above says, one person might choose The Chariot (their car) for "running errands" while another might choose the Knight of Wands (on a mission))

Re: Backwards Tarot Prompts
I was going to go with Wheel of Fortune but it seemed too pat! Then I remembered the imagery on the FMT and the GD keyword that Crowley chose for 4 of Wands, "Completion":
prompt from generator: "come full circle"
4 of Wands (Completion) - Fantastic Menagerie
