jasper Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Hi! I've never made a formal spread before.Forming the questions was a bit tricky!I'm going to try this out tonight and update later on.Hope someone will find this helpful at some point. 1)What have I ''lost''that is worth ''finding'' within me? 2)What have I ''lost''that was blocking me? 3)What life event has effected me the most? 4 + 5 )What issues remain unsolved that I need to work on? 6)What must I get rid of? 7)what must I keep? 8)Advice for finding my inner peace
RavenOfSummer Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Beautiful spread, jasper. Thank you for sharing this <3
Grandma Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Wow, jasper, Finding myself and my inner peace is as concise a statement of my spiritual goal as I can think of. (I can't say finding myself again, because if my "self" was ever "found" it was at least 65 years ago.) I have only ever used a spread I designed myself, and one or two card draws. I'm kind of obsessive and easily overwhelmed, so choosing a spread is the kind of decision that can spin me out of equilibrium and it's safer for me to eliminate options. That said, before I had even finished reading your post I was eager and determined to use your spread. I just need to spend a little time choosing the right deck, which oddly is a relaxing process unlike most other choices. As I told you elsewhere, you are very very good at tarot. I'm so glad you are here at TT&M.
Guest Night Shade Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I can't believe this was only your first spread, jasper - it's really good. <3 I could use some inner peace, so Im going to try it tonight. :)
jasper Posted October 23, 2018 Author Posted October 23, 2018 Thank you all so much 💛 I wanted a spread appropriate for this time I my life so I Was thinking instead of searching non stop and never making up my mind 😊 to make a spread that is exactly what I need👍 it has 8 positions and the questions are complex so its going to take some time☺ Where shall I post the results for opinions! ?here? Thanks again💛
Grandma Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Maybe you could post the results here for continuity, and then ask the mods to move the thread to the Tarot for Yourself area so people looking to read and respond to readings would easily spot it?
Esk Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 This is a spread that could have certainly be helpful in some difficult times of my life. I really like it :)
jasper Posted October 24, 2018 Author Posted October 24, 2018 1---------------------------2 3 4----------------5 7---------------------------6 8 1 and 7 are the positives 2 and 6 the negatives Here's what I got. 1.what I've lost and need to find again. 6 pentacles rx Very confusing.a)I have lost the ability to give to others while not expecting anything in return.So I must try to offer again only for the sake of giving OR the opposite b)I don't expect anything from anyone anymore and I give without looking out for my own needs. I need to start valuing myself more 2.what I have lost and don't need back . Queen of pentacles rx The jealousy, possessiveness, over eating and afraid to be around people.Gone!and never coming back 3.major life event that was turnine point for me 4 wands with 8 wands rx to clarify. I was thinking for soooo long what it could be.was it to my marriage? Me having a child??none of that was major.I mean in a way that has effected me so much.I was so sure that I was going to get the death card loosing my mother and brother.but I got this happy card.cleared my blocked communication.so I decided to leave that anday go on with the reading until I figure it out Then it hit me.it was me falling in love.a relationship that nevery existed as it could.the reason my world went upside down.and the Rx 8 of wands is the sudden totalk block in our communication. So that happy time that time of totaly falling in love that experience was my turning point.I am amazed by the cards 4 and 5 ) issues that I haven't finished with and need my attention The strength , 9 of swords I have a lot of pain still in me.regrets and feelings of despair.I need to work through them to be able to get closer to inner peace.as well as realising that I am strong enough to do it .I have the strength to overcome and set myself free of all my very intense emotions that haunt me. 6)what I must get rid of 3 cups rx I must get rid of that affair that cause my life to turn upside down.even though it's over (did it really ever begin?)it still lives in me and all around me .affecting me everyday in every possible way cause of the terrible heartbreak . 7)what I must hold on to 5 swords rX I'm not sure but maybe I must continue to stand up for myself towards the people in my life that can't accept my way of thinking and the waY I want to lead my life.I should never let thigs and words be said that I feel are doing me wrong without standing up for my beliefs and for myself in general 8.advice for finding my peace 2 wands I should examine where I've come from and stop to really see the options for where I want to go from now on.the only limitations I have is myself.I have possibilities and a road to choose to follow. No need to rush things I should take as much time I need and follow my heart. I would really appreciate if you have another interpretation to share
Guest Night Shade Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 Hi, jasper Just a thought on the 6 of Pentacles rx - could you have lost the ability to ask for help when you really need it? For the 5 of Swords rx - maybe you need to hold on to the ability to just walk away from a no-win situation (which would fit in with your interpretation of the 3 of Cups rx)
Esk Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 Just a thought on the 6 of Pentacles rx - could you have lost the ability to ask for help when you really need it? I've read that somewhere too. It could mean you're refusing anyone else's help. The 5 of swords rv could be to accept a defeat and turn your back on it. Some books say the upright card shows that you can embody the winner depicted in the card ( with all the vices that come with him), and the reversed card shows that you're one of the loosers leaving the battlefield. I like to think that, even if it's hard, the looser choose to go away because he has the wisdom to give up a bad situation that can't be at his advantage. I realise now that this meaning is also similar to the one Night Shade posted.. The combo Strength 9 of swords makes me think you're repressing your depressive feelings and your sadness. Allowing our feelings to express can be a relief, at least for a moment. Of course everything is not going to magically be better but I think it's important because it's a part of a healing process. If the topic you're talking about is too sensitive to be shared with a friend or a family member, you could see a therapist, a healer of any sort, whatever feels right to you. You seem to have figured out what the 4 of wands mean, but another idea that crossed my mind is moving together with your partner. Anyway, it is a deep reading and I think you have created a good spread :)
jasper Posted October 24, 2018 Author Posted October 24, 2018 Yes..yes I agree thank you so much.The reason I wanted this spread was to focus on my feelig so to see what I can work on in order to feel and be a better calmer person.so I DID NOT have in mind my previous bad situation. I wasn't thinking of the person I was focusing on my LIFE .so to have these cards show up was a shock to me.and with the 4 wands showing me my turning point and the 3 of cups to let go of course the swords would be related. ..how come I didn't see that!I was the looser and I did walk away after trying so much to win.I walked away eventually from a CLOSED door but it was still difficult.still is.and I must continue walking.just keep walking away Thank you so much
