Tarot Spreads
The layouts for placing the cards, with the meaning of every position.
Past, present and future: the trajectory of the matter read through the archetypal forces of the 22 Major Arcana alone.
Simple cross (Wirth)For, against, the why and the judge; at the centre the synthesis, which is not drawn but calculated by adding up the Arcana.
HorseshoeSeven cards in a horseshoe: from the past to the outcome, by way of what is hidden, the obstacles, the surroundings and the advice.
Celtic CrossTen cards: the cross describes the situation and its timing, the staff on the right describes the querent, the surroundings and the outcome.
Astrological wheelOne card for each of the twelve astrological houses and one at the centre as the dominant theme: a complete panorama of life.
Three-card compatibilityYou, the other person and the dynamic between you: the essential snapshot of a bond, read with the 22 Major Arcana.
Seven-card compatibilityWhat you seek, what the other person seeks, similarities and differences, and then emotional, physical and mental compatibility.
Nine-card compatibilityA grid of nine cards: central energy, emotional compatibility, each person's contribution, strengths, challenges, long-term potential and the hidden influences.
SoulmatesEach person's lessons, why you met, what you mirror in each other, the karmic theme, the phase you are in and the potential over time.
Couple's crossYou and the other person at the sides; on the vertical axis the roots of the bond, the present and the future. Five Major Arcana, all chosen.
Station for twoEach person's thoughts, feelings and actions, read in mirrored pairs; at the centre the current situation, which is uncovered last.
Seven-card relationship spreadYou, the other person, the bond; then a strength and a friction, the advice and the outcome if it is followed.
MirrorHow you see the other person and how they see themselves, what they represent to you and what you represent to them; in the middle the obstacles, then strengths and the probable result.
CrossroadsWhere you are and what brought you here, then two roads: for each the energy, the challenge and the outcome. It is for understanding, not for making the cards choose.
