Tarot Spreads

What’s a great career spread? One that is really in depth and gives good insight? I’m new to this. Trying to really learn.

We could probably all write a doctoral thesis about family relationships; we're all experts on that specific topis, and even people with complex, absent or alienated family histories know a lot about families and how they work. For my reading, I used the Tarot of Oppositions, a very special deck that depicts the light and shadow side of each cards. Obviously, you can use any deck that you like, and keep in mind to look at the reversed meaning of each card. Remember that within a family, others see our weak points, shadow, and some see ONLY the dark sides of their other family members. So look at every card, and reverse it. If it's reversed, turn it upright during the re…

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…

I recently came across this spread whilst browsing the Labyrinthos app. Having a degree in psychology, this one was very interesting to me. The spread can be found here: https://labyrinthos.co/blogs/learn-tarot-with-labyrinthos-academy/maslow-s-hierarchy-of-needs-a-5-card-tarot-spread From that page: A 5 Card Tarot Spread on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs The spread itself is simple enough. Each card represents one of the levels of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and can represent all of the following. Allow your intuition to make the connections between the card and the position. The particular nature of the need …

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 …

Every time we pass through an event like this I bump up a little too late in finding a spread and then I end up scrambling. I'm still doing a reading but I was wondering, for next time, if anyone has any favourite solar eclipse spreads they've found or made that they'd like to share? The big, chaotic, intense energy has been hitting me all week so I'd love to make some sense of it for next time with the cards

There was a thread that I discovered too late on the other forum related to this, so I wanted to bring it back here. The CC spread is widely varied and many people have their own versions that they find most useful. What is yours?

Anyone ever use the cards to predict the weather? I'm beginning to think they could be more accurate than the weather folks on tv. Imagine getting the Fool and The Tower for "What will the weather like tomorrow?"

Hello, I’m a newbie here and a newbie all around with tarot. I’ve been studying the traditional meanings of the cards for a while and picked up my first deck today. As I’ve been getting acquainted with it, I decided to try an interview spread. The results have me completely confused, as I am still learning to apply the card meanings to specific questions. Any and all help is totally appreciated! Tell me about yourself, what are your most important characteristics? 4 of wands What are your strengths? The Emperor What are your limits? 2 of swords What are you here to teach me? 9 of cups How can I best learn and collaborate with you? The devi…

Hello, I thought I'd share a cool birthday spread I found online at NewAgeHipster.co. It's a nine-card spread that I have almost completed. I've been doing a card a day, but you could just as easily do all nine cards at once. Bookworm

Hello, everyone I've always been an awkward person. I don't have the greatest social skills, I have "unusual" interests (like Tarot!), and I've always been considered "different". But to quote Sailor Moon, "I prefer to be called unique". So here's a spread to celebrate and embrace your uniqueness. 1---2---3 1. What makes you unique. 2. Why this is an asset. 3. How to live your truth as the cool, unique person you are!

1 2 3 4 5 -> surface layer 6+a -> bridge to the surface b -> the self 7+c -> bridge to the abyss 8 9 10 11 12 -> abyssal layer [1-12 = cards placed facing up] [a-c = cards placed facing down] [+ = cards are stacked on top of each other] Surface Layer - the perceivable, "objective" world and how it is influenced by the other layers of the spread. Made to show a big picture view with no time axis - can be seen either as the perceived present OR as the constant state of being of this cycle of your journey. Bridge to the Surface - outward …

So this has become a spread that I've been using more and more lately. It was made popular by Oswald Wirth, though it most likely predated him, and is a staple in many French cartomancy/tarot books. It's laid down like this: Though the meanings given to each position varies, I tend to use it like so: • Card 1 as what's for the situation • Card 2 as what's against the situation • Card 3 as the advice regarding the situation • Card 4 as the outcome if you take the advice • Card 5 as the synthesis/final say I've seen some people use Card 1 as the querent, or they'll read cards 1, 5 & 2 as the present si…

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 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/

Ikigai is a Japanese concept. It means the joy of purpose, a place of fulfilment where our talents come to fruition and we feel that we're doing what we were meant to be. In order to find our own Ikigai sweet spot, there are different aspects to consider. The first four basic questions are: What do you love? What are you good at? What does the world need? What can you get paid for? I call this the first layer. Where two of these areas overlap, four opportunities arise: Profession, Vocation, Passion and Mission. Let's call this the second layer. Seeing them laid out on the diagram was enlightening for me. It's difficult t…

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…

PS! This spread is for entertainment only There are no facts in tarot. The word "entertainment" is in some cultures known as "Under attitude". The spoon 8 cards - optional pattern 1) Who's holding the spoon 2) The food inside it 3) How to eat 4) Pre-cautions 5) The burp (what you need to air) 6) Future food 7) Where to look for it 8 ) Clarifying Good luck! Not Dynamo

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…

Can members here provide any good tarot spreads to help with finding lost objects? Thanks

I named this one for the Whitney Houston song. It helps someone redirect their energy in their dating life toward finding healthy love.

I came across this Full Moon Spread by the ITF. I really like this one so wanted to share here. Usually I tend to work with my Spirit de la Lune oracle for the Full Moon, which has a spread for each full moon throughout the year in the accompanying book. But I like this spread that can be used at any full moon. 5 cards, laid out in a circle. Picture is attached. Card 1: What do I need to release from my life? Card 2: Guidance to help achieve this Card 3: What do I need to embrace to empower me Card 4: How can I enable my transformation Card 5: What can I achieve/manifest with this energy?

I'm looking for more insight on what spreads folx currently use for someone who comes to them wanting to focus on future-only. To not review or reflect on the past, and not even necessarily focus on the present, but looking for advice on how to proceed moving forward- career, love, family, etc. What spreads typically lend themselves to this? Or, is there a recommendation for a self-designed spread that would be useful here?
