Does any prefer something other than Celtic cross spreads for love readings

Hiya, I’ve become interested in doing my own personal spirit guide readings lately (more of a meet & greet tbh). I’ve played around with a few spreads I’ve found online, but have had a lot of trouble connecting to the cards. much of what I’ve found regarding contacting guides deals in dream work or signs- my wheelhouse is tarot so I’d like to facilitate it there, ideally. I’m specifically interested in more one on one contact/conversation- less seeking guidance & more getting to know who I’m working with. I’m seeing like, 11 common guides? I’m not ready for all of that, I’d just like to focus on a couple to start. …

Autumn Season Spread (5) by Azarial Source: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=106507 As the days grow shorter, and colder it's a sign from mother earth that we need to do a bit of yardwork before our yards and gardens become victims to winter's cold wrath. As we work on our yards and gardens, it's also a reminder that we need to work on our lives as well. *****1*3***** *****4*2***** ******5****** 1. Composting can be a very valueable asset to a gardener. All of the things that we do not use, can be put together and with time they become a fertilizer to help other things grow. This is what I need to gather up in my life that I may not find very usefu…

In the past my experience of tarot both receiving and reading was limited to simple e.g. three cards spreads. I found it too be only mildly interesting and hard to really get a full picture of a situation. It was the experience of receiving a celtic cross reading recently that really changed things around for me. My brain loves to piece together disparate aspects of a situation and get a broad and multilayered understanding. I'm curious how others feel about the celtic cross and if there are any other spreads you would recommend for a more "abstract" thinker like me?

I am looking for everyone's favorite spread to read for others (vs. ourselves) when it comes to relationships. They don't have to be about romantic love; family, workplace relationships and close friendships all count to. In particular, I'm looking for spreads of 3-8 cards with each positional noted. Here's a sample because I'm a shamefully picture driven creature.

This is a spread that I first saw on Youtube ( ). They guy in the video does an example reading if you want to know a bit more about how to perform this spread. (He also mentions that he first learned this spread from an Agatha Christie book - but won't mention which one it was. I believe he is referring to The Hollow, which is the only book of hers that I know contain a cartomancy spread, although it is not exactly the same as this one. However, back on topic.. ;D) You start by choosing a significator (this card is not counted as one of the ten cards), and you place it in the middle. Then you lay the rest out like this: 5 4…

I have a querent who is a lady in her 50s who has been looking for a house in town for five years, I told her that I read the tarot, and we had a brief conversation about tarot cards & readings. I didn't have my cards with me, but I said that the next time I saw her I would do a reading for her. How would you approach a question like this? What kind of spread would you use? I'll be seeing her in a few weeks so I will have time to prepare for the reading. Thanks for your help!

Hello, everyone I spent more money than I meant to yesterday, which inspired me to create this spread. You can use it whenever you're tempted to spend more than you should. 1---2---3---4---5---6 1. Can I afford this? 2. Is this worth the price? 3. Will I get true enjoyment from this? 4. Will I grow bored with this soon? 5. Am I only buying this to try to fill a void within myself? 6. Will I regret making this purchase?

Hi Everyone, The Celtic Cross is the largest spread I generally use, and I tend to go with Psychological (Jungian) interpretations. Now, not the Internet, I'm seeing all kinds of variations in card positions and meanings that seem to contradict themselves. Is there a standard or consensus on what the positions are supposed to represent? I'm confusing myself. please feel free to move this if it is in the wrong section. Thanks :)

Greetings everyone. This is a spread I like using when there is a question regarding troubles within a relationship- usually when a breakup is on the table. *******6 5***********4 3***********2 *******1 1: The background, what made the two sides (people) come together. 2: What makes the querent disconnect 3: What makes the other person disconnect 4: The present situation of the querent 5: The present situation of the other person 6: A shared lesson for both sides/ a chance to get back together.

Hi ! Here is interesting tarot spread we can use, so we align some good eastern divination systems with Tarot. We talked about it in another topic, so here is what one can do to use it in practice. First we need 6 positions. For that we set 6 cards we set one by one from bottom to top. We count odd cards as Plus/Yang/Unbroken Line. We count even cards as Minus/Yin/Broken Line. So 5 of wands - yang line as its odd. Magician - again yang line as also odd(1). 4 of cups - yin broken line, as its even. That means if its odd card we write unbroken line. If its even card we write broken line. We don't shuffle the deck once first card is set. Then we write line by…

Hey All So.. up until recently I used to do an on the spot spreads- which worked nicely. Lately I stumbled on Vincent Pitisci's CC variation -which I loved a lot and started using regularly He claims it can answer EVERY question- but I found it difficult answering specific questions: Like what are my strengths/ potential in a specific situation matter. I don't want a 3 card spread I am looking for a more in depth / diverse spread to fit multiple situations. Hope I made myself clear 😛

Here is one of my more recent creations based on the ten-card tetractys spread that can be used in two ways: to get a straightforward "do it/don't do it/think about it" answer, read only the top six cards concluding in a three-card line; for the more philosophical "rest of the story," add the bottom four lines. I tend to be thorough in my approach to divination, so when reading the cards “on the clock” in a professional setting I often have insufficient time to address more than the high points of the scenario and answer a few parting questions. This is the “tip of the iceberg” effect that disappears when operating remotely (for which I prefer email) because in t…

Hi all, I'm currently immersing myself in the Thomson Leng, and I want to share the spreads ITT. It's my hope that some of you try them out here - use any deck you like. And bear in mind that I'm no expert with this deck yet, I just got it yesterday and it's very different from what I'm used to in some ways. But they're good ways. It occurs to me that, since the deck was published in 1935 in the UK, people would have had it in the house during the Blitz. I think some people would have consulted it to see if their homes would be safe, and if their men would return alive. When we're worried and we have no way of knowing something, we turn to cards. So it's an important…

I really enjoy doing time position spreads. Aka: "what is The forecast for my love life for next week" and draw 7 cards, 1 card for each day, or "what is waiting for me next month" and draw 4 cards, 1 card for each week.

Just wanted to share this spread I just came up with. Just did a reading and couldn't find a spread I liked so made my own. I feel like it worked out well! The path you are on The path you should take The path you should avoid Advice on how to stay on the right path How to avoid straying from the right path And a used an oracle at the end for a theme of the reading.

My life has just taken a huge turn, and I am quite rudderless. Was wondering if anyone would have recommendations of good spreads that might give an indication of what I might expect in the coming days, weeks, months. Appreciate you help. Thank you.

For Hunter’s Moon 2018 I modeled this spread on a 5-point deer antler with pedicle (6) for the 5 degrees that this 2018 Hunter’s Moon will swing (south) from the Earth’s orbital plane. When I think of hunting, I think of deer hunting so that is why I thought of the antler and when I researched the Hunter's Moon a bit, I learned about the 5 degrees swing. I hope you all enjoy this spread! ------------1 ------2----- 3----------- ---------4- -----5---- 6--------- 1. What are you hunting for? 2. How will this nourish you? 3. What will you need to consider during the hunt? 4. What obstacles might you face during the hunt? 5. How will you keep up your men…

Here I'm having some fun with "hidden" cards as part of a not-so-simple "yes-or-no" decision-making spread. https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2019/07/01/the-light-and-shadow-decision-making-spread/
