Tarot study room · Spreads
15 spreads, each drawn as a diagram with its positions labelled. Understand what each position asks before you draw.
A suggested path: start with one card and add more once you're comfortable. More cards doesn't mean more accurate.
Draw one card a day. Look at the picture and note your own thoughts before reading the meaning. You can look back in the evening too, and note what didn't fit.
Divide the question into past, present and future.
Think about it from three angles: everyday needs, feelings, and what you care about. Not for judging health.
Look at the situation first, then what you could do, and finally how things might develop.
For when things have stalled and you can't say why. Try reading the third card as something you can actually do.
Look at the possible development and cautions for options A and B separately, then compare them against the real conditions.
For talking about how two people get along. The cards can't prove what the other person thinks; questions still need talking through.
Draw one card for each day of the week, note your reading, and at the weekend see what fit and what didn't.
Seven cards to look in turn at background, recent events, surroundings and possible approaches.
Break a goal apart and look at what you already have, possible help, difficulties and approaches.
The studio's signature spread. The five points correspond to five elements, and the top card is what this matter is really asking.
For wanting to change jobs, wanting a raise, or being stuck on a project.
Works for partners, family or colleagues. The two ends are the two people, and the middle is the road you share.
Ten positions on one question. With more cards, first be clear on what each position means.
Settle the starting month first. The first card is the theme of the year, and the other twelve each match a month.
Ask a different way each day. After seven days, you'll know what you ask about most.
Draw one card and put it somewhere you'll see it.
Two side by side. Are they different?
Pick the thing you're most stuck on this week.
Draw for someone you care about. They don't need to know.
Three things for next week.
More time at the weekend, so use a bigger spread.
Lay out the week's cards and draw one more as a summary.
To design your own spread, see course unit VI. More ideas in A different spread each day.
