    Hi Everybody Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I am looking for an advice on which spread to best use for my question. My issue is, I am about to start a new business venture with a partner. The problem is, that we lately seem to have issues on understanding each other. I am not sure anymore if I should start/continue this business venture or just give up. In a way I want to give it up but then I am not sure if I have to learn something in this relationship. Is there a spread that can bring clarity?

    This one kind of developed naturally, thought I'd share it. Any two decks can be used: I went with my personal RWS and my pocket sized Travel / Client RWS. Path to Growth Spread Deck one: Card 1 (top center): The growth -- The challenge to overcome or positive to integrate: Deck two: Cards 2,3,4 The path– steps to take towards accomplishment, guidance Deck two: Card 5 (bottom, horizontal): The saboteur -- That which may cross or attempt to hinder progress. adjust to taste, and tell us if you try it!

    January is a good time to calculate your card of the year. Simply add the numbers of this year (2026) + your birth month + your birthday, and keep adding the numbers until the sum is smaller than 22. For me, it's 14, Temperance, which I can reduce further and get 5, the Hierophant. Now that's very nice since I'm a Taurus with a rising Sagittarius, so two of my strong astrological influences show up for me this year. Does anybody else do that? I'm not big into numbers, but a Card of the Year is good to know. It can give you a first whiff of what the year's about to bring. Temperance is always a good card for me, it means that things are moving at …

    Sharing some of my favorite bookmarked spreads. https://www.tarotforum.net/threads/glass-owls-spreads.153391/ I didn't create these but GlassOwl posted them on AT back in the day. I especially love the 2 & 3 card spreads. Great for learning new decks. My fave spread for self-reading is the quick & dirty "Mary Poppins Spread".

    The Queen of Swords could also be suggesting that you need to know what is the difference between the truth and what is complete BS! Another thing about this woman is that you shouldn't need to take any BS from ANYONE (clears throat) *sorry for the yelling :shhh:*. Strangely enough I don't see any water cups to represent you *Your a Scorpio woman!* Now while upon this topic since you have gotten the King of Wands as a gift.

    I have a really hard time expressing myself. I get an idea, but it becomes all jumbled up when I try to put it into words. So I cane up with this spread to help me; I hope you don't need it, but if you do, I hope it helps you. 1---2---3---4---5---6---7 1. What am I really trying to say? (because sometimes even I don't know what I mean). 2. Which thoughts and ideas should I include? 3. Which thoughts and ideas should I leave out? 4. Once I've figured all of this out, what is the best way to express what I want to say? 5. Should I even express this: will it be helpful or hurtf…

    I'm looking for a spread that will help answer a question that may not be super specific... or maybe even also a spread to help me narrow down the question! For context, back in Feb 2017 I saw a psychic (let's call her A) who read my cards and said I'd be in a relationship with the right person in about 6 months. She described him in terms of a couple of key features. At the end of 2016 a different psychic said I'd be in a relationship 'by August' next year but provided no details. This was just a single line answer via email. Another, in the June 2017, said 'within 3 months' but no specific details. Again, it was just a quick online single topic answer. I kno…

    Hi I am a beginner and have s question about spreads, i like the horseshoe spread but have discovered that different people assign different meanings to each card position. Does this matter? Should I just go with my gut feeling? And how do you choose which spreads to use? Thanks!

Shall we pause and honor this in between time as we shift from one cycle to the next. This reading can be part of honoring this marker of change. What lessons can we harvest?

    Does anyone have recommendations for a good/meaningful/powerful spread to do on their birthday? Tarot/oracle/both. I know you can do year ahead ones but when the birthday is end of November and the actual new year is only a month away, it would be nice to have something a bit different. Does anyone have a go to they do every year?

    The discussion here about the Random Number Generators used in tarot software apps got me thinking how this might be done in an analog way using a board-game spinner. Here's the result. You can make your own spinner or buy one on-line. And if you're ever in Brattleboro, Vt, stop by Patty Newton's Silver Moon Adornments and see her big tarot-card roulette wheel. It's quite impressive. https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2019/07/12/the-round-it-goes-decision-making-spread/

    Hi all. I spent $20 USD for a love/soulmate reading and I got a reading that focused more on feelings. It felt very basic to me. I was wondering what your interpretations would be of these cards? (I had to ask for the cards). I can post the reading if anyone asks.

    Occasionally when I'm in the mood I've done hand drawn spreads and historically instagram (Ammers10) and reddit have really like them. Thought you guys might as well! The one I'm working on now is called "Notes from Mom" and is a lunch box with affirmation notes in it. 🙂

    When I run out of meatier subjects to explore in my blog posts, I fall back on spread creation. Lately I've been taken with what I call "mixed-media" spreads using cards and another method of divination (mainly as a "pointer" for card selection). It's an entirely unnecessary iteration, to be sure, but it's fun to tinker with. https://parsifalswheeldivination.com/2020/06/28/walking-the-line-a-situational-awareness-response-spread/

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone out there had some good spreads to do while in quarantine/social distancing/isolation? Daily draws and self-check-in spreads are great, but I was also wondering about spreads specifically devoted to questions that could be asked while inside and socially isolated? If you have your favourite self-introspective spread that would be wonderful to see!

    I have seen many interesting spreads here, thank you:) I am a counsellor IRL, and I am starting to consider to incorporate tarot into my sessions. The cards reflect different aspects of life and ourselves and I think sometimes pictures better connect with our subcounsciousness than words. There are some techniques used during the sessions that might involve cards. One of those is Johari Window, technique created by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham, it looks something like the diagram created by me, posted below. The green is an open area, what I know about myself and others know about me, e.g. What are my strenghts that others often recognise in…

    I see in my LWB for a deck a spread with a tarot card for each house and three overall cards in the center. So 15 cards. I know the zodiac houses and basic characteristics of the signs, but am not strong is astrology beyond that. Is this beyond my capabilities for a good reading?

    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 😛

    really like the idea of laying tarot cards on top of 'positional significance' cards to make on the fly custom spreads, as in the deck of 1000 spreads (now OOP and fetching silly prices). of course we can just write on blank cards to get the same or better utility : ) brainstorming ideas for cards, here what i have so far: self experiences expectations root feelings others environment resources action reaction result challenges allies present esteem fate disposition education pro con advice partner reward surprise answer danger relationship conscious desires unconscious desires attitude intentions fears decision intuition lesson potential risk success things overlooked…
