Okay, here is my sharing about using tarot spreads for specific questions:
So, I’ve been messing around with tarot cards for a while now, and I gotta say, figuring out the right spread for different questions has been a real game-changer. Let me walk you through what I’ve been up to lately.
First off, I grabbed my tarot deck and started shuffling those cards. I always like to take a few deep breaths and try to clear my head before I start. Once I felt like I was in the zone, I started thinking about the question I wanted to ask. Today, I was curious about a new project I’m starting, so my question was, “What do I need to know about this new project to make it a success?”
Next, I had to pick a spread. Now, there are tons of spreads out there, but I wanted something that would give me a detailed look at different aspects of the situation. After flipping through my favorite tarot book, I decided to go with the Celtic Cross spread. It’s a classic for a reason—it uses ten cards to cover everything from the current situation to potential challenges and future possibilities.
- The first card I laid down was for the present situation. I got the “Four of Wands,” which usually means celebration and harmony. I guess that means I’m feeling pretty good about this project already!
- The second card crosses the first and represents the challenge. I pulled the “Reversed Three of Swords,” which can point to some lingering emotional pain or conflict. Maybe there’s some past stuff I need to resolve before diving into this project.
- The third card goes below the first and shows the past influences. The “Six of Cups” popped up, which is all about nostalgia and past connections. It seems like this project might have roots in something from my past, or maybe I’m working with old friends.
- The fourth card is placed above the first and represents the recent past or something that’s just fading away. I got the “Nine of Pentacles,” which signals independence and achievement. That makes sense—I’ve just finished another big project and felt pretty accomplished.
- The fifth card goes to the left of the first and represents the future possibilities. I drew the “Ace of Cups,” which is super positive—it’s about new beginnings in love and emotion. This could mean the project will bring some new and fulfilling relationships or creative bursts.
- The sixth card goes to the right of the first and represents the immediate future. The “Reversed Chariot” came up, which can suggest a lack of direction or losing control. I’ll need to stay focused and not let things get out of hand.
Then there’s a column of four cards on the right side:
- The seventh card at the bottom is about my feelings and attitudes. I got the “Page of Wands,” which is all about new ideas and excitement. Yep, definitely feeling that!
- The eighth card shows the external influences and environment. The “Reversed Ten of Swords” appeared, which might suggest I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed or stressed by external factors.
- The ninth card represents hopes and fears. I pulled the “King of Pentacles,” which could mean I’m hoping for stability and success, or maybe fearing financial insecurity.
- The tenth card at the top is the outcome. I got the “Reversed World,” which suggests incompletion or a need to tie up loose ends. Looks like I might need to wrap up some things before this project can truly reach its potential.
After laying out all the cards, I spent some time just looking at them and seeing how they interacted. The Celtic Cross is great because it gives you a lot to think about—the interplay between the cards can reveal some pretty deep insights.
I wrote down all my thoughts and impressions in my tarot journal. It’s always helpful to have a record to look back on. This reading gave me a lot to chew on, and I feel like I have a better sense of what to expect and how to prepare for this new project. It’s not just about predicting the future, but more about understanding the energies at play and making informed decisions.
So, that’s how my tarot session went today. I find that choosing the right spread really does make a difference. It helps me get more specific and relevant answers to my questions. If you’re into tarot, I definitely recommend experimenting with different spreads and seeing how they work for you. Trust your intuition, and don’t be afraid to make it your own!
