POST/v1/tarot/spread/yes-no

Yes/No Tarot Reading

Draw one card for a yes/no answer. Answer logic: yes-polarity card upright = 'yes' (strong). Yes-polarity card reversed = 'maybe' (leaning). No-polarity card upright = 'no' (strong). No-polarity card reversed = 'maybe' (leaning). Maybe-polarity card = 'maybe' (unclear). Reversed cards are enabled by default for this spread.
