I'm thinking about buying another deck.

The cards say the wanting is louder than the need — but that's worth checking against your own deck before you spend anything.

Past — Page of Swords, reversed. The interest in decks started as curiosity and has quietly turned inward: comparing listings, reading reviews, checking release dates. Information gathered, nothing handled.

Present — Five of Swords, reversed. Right now the sharp edge is pointed at yourself. You're building a case against the purchase ("I don't need this, I'm being silly"), and Five reversed says that case isn't neutral — it's the win-at-all-costs frame dropped. A deck that would just sit in a case, read once, is not the problem here.

Future — Four of Swords, upright. If the browsing continues, this turns into restlessness dressed up as a purchase: the search is the activity, and the card you order becomes the card that ends the looking.

Conditional, then. Two things you can actually look at tonight. Count the cards in the deck you already own — a full 78? Look at the corners, hinges, and the cards you pull most (the Court, the Majors) — any torn, faded, or bending? And check your own record: which cards have you drawn in the last three months, and how many times?

If the deck comes back complete, clean, and you've been reading it — then the second deck is the Four of Swords waiting to happen, not something you need. Leave the money where it is.

If it comes back with a missing card, a cracked hinge, or a title so worn you avoid the corner — then what you want is a *repair*, not an upgrade: replace the card or the deck back, and skip the new one.

One step, tonight: lay your current deck face down, count to 78, then look at the ten cards you'd be most likely to draw.
