The Sphinx as the outcome card: The Sphinx suggests discrete observation. It suggests that you behave like a wise person who knows more than they hear, but who keeps that information to themselves until the time is right. If it appears in this position, it’s quite possible that you will need to do this if you are going to get what you want.
Because of this Sphinx is associated with the ability to keep secrets, but at the same time manage to wheedle them out of other people. If it appears in the outcome position in your reading, secrecy will be very important to the successful realisation of your desires. As could be patience.
Another aspect of the Sphinx is that it represents our equality with the other animals, and thus includes the love of animals. Is there an animal involved in the answer to your question?
