Tarot Spreads

Does anybody here actually perform daily draws? Do you just use one card or many? If it's just one, how do you interpret it? If it's more than, what kind of spread do you use? At what time of the day do you perform it - mornings or evenings? Do you do this religiously - I mean, do you do it everyday without fail? And - be honest now - how helpful and accurate have these been?

I usually just pull one tarot card and one oracle card for my daily draws, but when I have time I like to use something like these: What Surrounds Me (cards are laid out in an "X" shape): 2 ~~~ 3 ~~ 1~~ 4 ~~~ 5 Card one represents me - where I am mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Cards 2 through 5 represent people, situations, things, etc. that will affect me in some way that day. Head, Heart and Hands Spread: 1. What do I need to know today? 2. What do I need to embrace today? 3. What do I need to do today? Please share your favorite daily spreads when you read for yourself!

New Moon Blessings everyone! Here is one of my favorite spreads, that I try to do for every new moon. I found this spread back on AT, first posted by user Milamber. The card layout suggests the phases of the moon: 1 4 2 7 5 3 6 1: Releasing. Things you should be letting go of in your life. 2: Retaining. Things you should be holding close to you. 3: Receiving. Things that are coming into your life. 4: Surroundings. How the world around you is affecting you. 5: Giving. What you should be giving to others. 6: Beginning. Something new that will begin soon. 7: Your lesson. What you should be learning at this point. And quot…

Just came across this spread, recently posted by tarot blogger Oephebia, and it looks like a good one so thought I would share! Here is the link: https://oephebia.wordpress.com/2017/10/29/day-of-the-dead-spread/ 1 – Advice from my ancestors (here take it as what you need to know or to do to improve your life) 2 – What I need to banish, to let go, to remove from my life, what is no longer serving me. 3 – What I need to embrace, to welcome in my life, to attract to me. 4 – Ancestral traits I need to tap into. What qualities from my ancestors (immediate ancestors or from many generations ago, in other words, your tribe), I may want to use. 5 – What is holding me bac…

Hello everyone For those of you in the U.S., Thanksgiving is coming up, and you may have to deal with relatives that you don't really get along with. This spread is to help things go a bit more smoothly. 1---2---3---4---5 1. The source of the conflict with this relative. 2. What you can do to relieve the tension. 3.

A way to decompress and de-stress when it's all over.

I've been studying with my RWS deck and haven't had much time for doing anything else until today. This morning, I had the strong urge to use my new Everyday Witch Tarot and after my daily draw I decided to do The Deck Interview Spread As a newbie, it's one of the longest I've done, but first time for everything! I thought I'd post my interview in case anyone wants to give it a try. @Nordica De Spell I'm lookin at you! Here's my spread, starting at the top and reading clockwise. ETA: This may be in the wrong area! Mods, help!

These two spreads were created by Anya Esma. She has a youtube channel (that I will link below) and an etsy shop where she offers readings with these spreads (also linked below). In her video she encourages people to try these spreads for themselves and she generously shares the spread positions on her etsy page. Her channel is great so do check it out! The first spread is for those who are embarking on a depth year for the very first time while the second year is for those that are doing a second (or third...) depth year. Depth Year Preparation spread (3 cards) 1. Something you need to bring in before starting your Depth Year - an insp…

I came across this spread on the Tarot in a Teacup blog and thought it looked really fascinating. This is actually why I'm currently looking for a copy of her book Tarot Wisdom! The spread is done in the shape of an inverted pentagram. Picture with spread positions attached. 1 3 6 4 5 2 1. What have I lost? 2. What blocks me from returning? 3. What illusory chains hold me? 4. What reality holds me? 5. How can I free myself? 6. What will happen?

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…

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?

Had a bewildering dream? Can the Tarot help elucidate? I believe so. Dreams and the Tarot speak the same language: the language of images, metaphor, and senses. Before you begin the spread, as soon as you wake up, write down all the details you remember from the dream. This is an important step. From your short summary, list down words that you want the Tarot to help you with. For example: In my dream I was needing some sugar. I am trying to lose weight but one bag of sugar shouldn't hurt. I was at the grocery paying and the cashier had a knowing smile at me. Her teeth were blue. I reach down for my purse to get money. I fin…

Curious topic! At least it is to me! I know that I dream sometimes and often it goes in phases (often with the lunar cycle, I know I've had a dream more often near a full moon). But I very rarely remember anything about them other than their overall vibe. E.g. I woke up at some point last night feeling 'shot through with adrenaline' and like I'd been scared. Around the full moon I woke up from a dream feeling warm, cosy and 'lighter than air'. But I don't remember anything that led up to that point. I'm looking for a tarot spread to help me understand these dreams when they come and help me try to interpret their messages, which is hard without remembering the dr…

One thing I like about the CC is that the positions can be summarized in one or two words. I like the Counting Crows spread because i know the one for sorrow... rhyme. Any other spreads like that?

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 …

Ever feel like your elemental aspects are out of whack, and you need to understand how to bring them into balance? That's how I felt this evening, and I came up with this spread to help me work through it. It's a simple spread with one card for each elemental aspect, one card for how to bring each aspect into balance, and then a final card to pull everything together. Thoughts are of course welcome! 1 3 5 7 2 4 6 8 9 1. How my earth aspect is manifesting 2. What is needed to balance my earth aspect? 3. How my air aspect is manifesting 4. What is needed to balance my air aspect? 5. How my fire aspect is manifesting 6. What is needed to balance…

Here's a new spread that I am playing with.

Hi all. I’m very new to tarot and I’ve been pulling either one or three cards regarding my infertility journey. I often get some positive cards that indicate pregnancy and positive outcomes but I usually end up with the emperor reversed in my spreads. I’m in a happy, stable marriage. My husband is on board with expanding our family. Could this card be referring to me and how I’m making decisions about my infertility treatment? I’m still not pregnant and my last round of IVF wasn’t successful.

Eowyn's Stroke of Luck Spread (2) Originally posted on AT by Eowyn 1. Which is going to be your next stroke of luck? 2. How will it happen? So grab your 4 leaf clover!!!

I’ve seen a few “best beginner spread”, but what would you consider to be the spreads that every beginner should work on to learn the ropes?

Does anyone know if anything is wrong with Ethony? Like previous years, I requested the free Tarot by the Moon book this year (although a bit late). I unsubscribed from her newsletter last year, because aaaalllll the newsletters - not just hers - tend to get a bit much. But I didn't receive a confirmation email, no email with link to download, etc. Tried with another email address; still nothing. (Checked my spam folders too, of course 😉 ) I've tried using the form on her website to contact her, asked if she could help; this was about a week ago, and still no reply. Did anyone here manage to download this year…

Here is one of my smaller spreads that has a less-sprawling narrative behind it. It was created a few of months ago during the last budget crisis, so the climate addressed by the example reading has changed some. I could see using it to vet news stories. AUTHOR'S NOTE: Whenever I see a post that purports to fact-check some controversial occurrence, I immediately become suspicious that the supposedly impartial investigator has a private agenda that is being served by facts specifically "groomed" to support the objective, a hunch that is usually borne out by the demonstrated bias of the platform on which the reporting appears. Here is an experimental spread that …

As per the title. I always thought deck interviews were silly ... and never got good results anyway. But i wish to give it another go with Triunfi della Luna deck. I've already used that deck quite a few times sans interview ... and get really inconsistent results ... sometimes it just HITS ... other times no. Usually a deck is 90% hits or 90% misses (and it goes to thrift store). I've never had a deck that was 50/50. Bunch of deck interviews on the internet, of course ... but this is a more discerning group. Your faves?

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.
