Tarot Spreads

3 spread

1..2..3

This is an interesting spread for me because there are many ways to use this spread instead of only past present and future. As long as you think outside the box you can create many ways to use this spread.

Examples:
body, mind, and spirit
the querent, the problem, and the advice
the subconcious, the concious, and both combine
your hopes, your fears, and the outcome
the problem, the influence, and advice

Perspective Spread

.3..4.
...5..

1) What are you doing now
2) what the person is doing now
3) What do you want
4) What does the person want
5) the advice

P.S. This is a spread to do to understand both perspective instead of just one. A spread that I just created and so far I'm getting some positive results with it.

The Broken Heart

.....5.......6.....
..4......1......7..
.....3.......8.....
.........2.........

1) The central issue of your relationship
2) How you see the other person
3) How they see you
4) Unknown influences on your relationship
5) Where you want the relationship to go
6) Who can help your relationship
7) The challenges in your relationship

P.S. This spread was taken out of the Zombie Tarot also as you can see the spread is suppose to look like a heart.

I made up this spread but it was inspired by the Halloween Spread:
The Christmas Spread
Card 1: The Nativity Set-how the Divine is blessing you
Card 2: Gold-Your finances this year
Card 3: Frankincense-The sweet things of this year
Card 4: Myrrh-The trying things of this year
Card 5: The Tree-how you will grow this year
Card 6: The Ornaments (crosses Card 5)-details and manifestations of your growth
Card 7-The Lights/Candle: Self-explanatory, what lights your way
Card 8-The Star: What takes topmost priority, the "star" of the show
Card 9-Santa Claus: Your generosity and others' generosity towards you
Card 10-Scrooge: Anything that puts a damper on holiday spirit
Cards 11, 12 and 13-The Ghosts: Past, Present and Future Christmas
Card 14: Coal-unpleasant surprises that can be turned around for the better
Card 15: Mistletoe-Any romantic relationships found
Card 16: Christmas Present-What you'll take away from the situation
*8
*7 *5/6 *15
*9 *10
*11 *12 *13
*14 *16
*1
*2 *3 *4

I meant to put it in a Christmas tree shape ;)

One Card

****1****

You don't need a lot of cards to do a reading just by using one card you can get a lot of information from a person. If you are not sure than get one more card and that card will clarify things for you.

P.S. It's a spread I'm currently using and do far I love the results I'm getting.

No Spread

.....4....
1...2...3

2) You start in the middle to see where the person is at right now
1 & 3) You read the images to get the rest of the information. It is basically reading intuitionly.
4) The Conclusion

Notes: This spread leans more to reading the card intuitionally then relying in a specific spread.

Cross of Truth- it helps you just get a general clue of the situation and what the outcome may be.
