Tarot Spreads

This is a spread I had come up with a few years ago when I wanted to combine the 3-card "Mind - Body - Spirit" with the 3-card "Past - Present - Future" spreads. It gives a way for you to look at how things have changed for you, and where you're going. There are a lot of interactions between cards in this spread and, at the end, I've pointed out a few to consider. I did use this a couple of days ago, that is what brought it to mind. It worked very well and seemed to give my friend some good insight. ........Past - Present - Future Mind....1.........4........7 Body....2........5.........8 Spirit...3.........6........9 1 - Past states of mind or influences on the p…

I'm looking to add some two-card spreads to my repertoire...anyone have favorites? :)

This was originally posted to the Aeclectic Tarot Tarot Spreads Forum by Miss_Apples. Unfortunately, the date posted no longer shows up, so I can't say when it went up. It seems like an excellent spread for when you feel a spirit may be hanging around you or a location.; From Miss_Apples' original post; "Here's a spread I made to try and get in touch with any spirit that may be surrounding you including spirit guides." The Spirit Spread --2-----3-- -----1----- --4-----5-- card #1 represents the spirit, a little info about who they are card # 2 represents why they are with you right now card # 3 represents what they want you to know card # 4 re…

A lot of people I read for ask yes or no questions so I thought I'd share a few methods with all of you. I hope you find it helpful.[emoji847] First is the simplest Upright = Yes Reversed = No Then read the meaning of the card for more insight. Second Part 1 5 Card Spread Major & even numbered minor cards = Yes Court cards & odd numbered minor cards = No The majority gives the answer i.e. 5 majors or evens would be definite yes & vise versa, 3 majors or evens would be yes & vise versa. Note: upright & reversed read the same for a yes or no answer at this point, however I read all the cards after a yes or no is established using reversed …

Hi guys, happy to be in this forum. I wanted to share a spread I tried from the shadowscapes tarot book. It could be used for a new job, friendship...

Hi everyone! I've done several readings for a friend using the Deviant Moon Tarot. They've been on a couple of different topics, but one card has now come up in 4 readings in some different positions. I'm looking for a reading that I might use to try to find out why the card is recurring. I was thinking I would pull the card in question as kind of a "significator", then do a reading built around it. Any suggestions?

I came across a great Eclipse Tarot Spread, through the wonderful Worts+Cunning site. So for anyone who's looking to work with the cards today on Eclipse day I thought this could be a great spread to work with! This is a linear 3-card spread, laid out 1-2-3. The below is all copied and pasted from the Worts+Cunning site linked above. I've just copied and pasted the basics here but there's more details and suggestions on the site. The Eclipse Season Tarot Spread The spread is only three cards: a Sun, a Moon, and a Shadow card. You for how you choose your Sun and Moon cards. You can either choose them based off of your Sun sign and Moon sign and the astrological …

I thought it could be fun to do a Spreadapalooza thread. The idea is to start with a theme, topic, question etc, and everyone shares a spread, their favorite spread on that theme. Sound like fun? If this one's a hit we can do more :) So to start: what's your go-to spread for a daily reading?

This was a spread that was posted to A.T. quite a few years ago. I don't recall having seen Isthmus Nekoi posting in those last weeks, so I'm not sure that they even know about the shutdown. I used this spread for a friend's reading this morning and it worked great. I wrote that the original post said this was "a spread for material things like $, health and suchlike. It's in the shape of the pentacle, symbol of the material." I used it because my friend is a budding Wiccan, and it felt the shape was a good fit for him. Isthmus Nekoi, if you pop in here and happen to see this, I really appreciate how well this spread works for readings, and not just about material thin…

"Quickies" are two card spreads for when you don't have a lot of time. Here are a few of mine: Gift/Challenge 1. What is the gift in this situation (relationship, etc.)? What is positive about it, what is the good in it? 2. What is the challenge in this situation (relationship, etc.)? What will I have to work on, overcome, or deal with? Now 'n Later 1. What do I need to pay attention to or do now, as soon as possible? 2. What can I put on the back burner until things have settled down (but still will need to deal with sometime in the near future)? Receive/Return 1. What would be beneficial for me to do or get involved in? What should I let in my life? 2. Wh…

Hi! So this is a spread I made last night that helped me out quite a lot, so I figured I'd take a chance and post it here in case anyone else would like to try it. I suppose some people might find the questions too vague, so feel free to alter them slightly as fit. :) This is just what worked for me and my Royo Dark Tarot Mini. 2............................5 ...............1............... ......3................4......

What are some things I need to work on? 4. …

As I'm going to have a trainee at work starting tomorrow, I was going to do a reading with this spread and remembered to post it here. This is to give some insight into the relationship between a trainer and a new trainee. It is designed for situations of 1-on-1 training and focuses primarily on the Trainer and how they should modify their approach for a given trainee. If a Trainee were to come to you for a reading, you could simply swap the Trainer/Trainee in the reading. 1..........3 ......5 2..........4 1) The Trainee's current situation/state of mind (as it applies to the training or job). 2) Obstacles for the Trainee 3) Something the Trainer brings t…

The following are two solstice spreads, summer and winter. Please note that instead of using the Sun card from the deck in use, you can place a orange/yellow stone, the Sun from another deck or any other symbol if you prefer. Summer Solstice Spread: ~~~~~1~~~~~ 4~~The Sun~~2 ~~~~~3~~~~~ Pull "The Sun" from the deck and place it face up in the center. 1. During the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, more light is available to us.

This is a simple spread I created, the Goddess Wisdom spread. The cards are laid out linear, 1-2-3-4. Card 1: Intuition. What is your intuition telling you right now? Card 2: Nurturance. What is nurturing you right now, or what in your life needs to be nurtured? Card 3: Universe. How are the energies of the universe aligning around you now? Card 4: Goddess Wisdom. What wisdom from the Goddess guides you now? In working with this spread, I sometimes also choose a Significator or guide card, which I lay out above the row of four cards, to represent what I feel is my current energy or what I am seeking. I like to use my Goddess Tarot (the Kris Waldherr deck) …

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.

A while back, a friend of mine asked if I could do a reading for where the World was headed in the next 5 to 10 years. It challenged me. I didn't find an existing spread that really answered the questions, so I decided to create one. While the question asked was a VERY big picture (about the whole world), I thought the spread would work for things on a more local / personal level as well. (For the reading I did, this spread worked great.) I started laying cards (face-down) to determine a design, and as I pushed them around, I found that a 7-card spiral, like a Nautilus shell felt right; ............3 .......2........4 ...........1 ................5 ......7.....6…
