There
are lots and lots of Tarot
Spread these days. If you put
Tarot card spread in the search
engine on the internet, many
pages will come up. I am not
even going to attempt to list
all of those here.
I
will list a few for you to try;
One
of the most common spreads is
the Celtic Cross Spread.
The
Celtic Cross Spread
1.
The Significator
This is the card is chosen
to represent the querent. It is
almost always a face card, and
should be chosen with the
querent's personality and
attributes in mind. (Usually the
querent themselves will choose
one, or you can pick one for
them based on what
"feels" like them.)
Card 1 is under card 2 as card 2
crosses it.
2.
The Crossing Card
An integral part of the
situation that the querent may
not be seeing, or something that
may be an obstacle (likely if
the card is reversed). This is
something the querent needs the
be aware of to resolve the
situation.
3.
The Foundation
What the question is based
on; this is a little hard to
define, but you will get a
feeling for what this card
signifies.
4.
The Near Future
Coming events that the
querent will want to watch for;
this isn't necessarily the
outcome of the situation, the
rest of the cards will determine
if it is.
5.
The Crown
This card gives you a
sense of what is permeating the
question; this may be something
that the querent aspires to, or
what the querent hopes the
situation will become.
6.
Recent Events
Recent events that will
have a bearing on the current
situation.
7.
The Querent
While the Significator
already represents the querent,
this will tell how the querent
feels about the question and
other details; it is a picture
of the querent as relates to the
situation.
8.
The Querent's Surroundings
This is the people around
the querent who have an
influence on the situation;
he/she will want to note whether
the cards say they are
supportive or not, and how they
are related to the question.
Sometimes the card will point
directly to a specific person
that is influencing the outcome
heavily.
9.
Hopes and Fears
What the querent hopes for
this question, or what they fear
most will happen. Helps the
querent to realize how they feel
about this question.
10.
The Final Outcome
What
will ultimately happen
(if the querent does nothing to
change the situation, or if
they
cannot do anything to change
it).

The
Tree of Life Spread
The
Significator.
This card represents the
querent and should be chosen
from amongst the Kings, Queens,
Knights, or Pages.

the querent would like to
achieve.
2.

situation.
3.
General Nature.
This is the general nature
of the question; it defines it
more completely.
4.
The Key.
This may be something that
the querent isn’t seeing; it
is the key to the answer to the
question or how to resolve the
situation, or how to achieve
what the querent is attempting
to achieve.
5.
Influences of the Present.
Influences on the
situation or question from
present circumstances that the
querent needs to take into
account for this reading.
6.
Influences of the Future.
these will be things the
querent will want to look out
for.
7.
Effect of the Significator.
This is the effect that
the significator (the querent)
has on the situation.
8.
Effect of the Environment.
The effect that the people
around the querent have on the
situation, as well as other
things surrounding the querent.
9.
Hopes and Fears.
These are things that the
querent maybe fears will happen
or hops will happen with the
situation.
The
Final Outcome.
The ultimate answer to the
querent's question.

The
Horseshoe Spread
1. The Past.
This card represents past events
that are affecting the question or
situation the querent is asking
about.
2. The Immediate Present.
Pretty self-explanatory; this card
will tell you more about the
situation.
3. The Immediate Future.
Near events that will affect this
situation.
4. Something occupying the
querent's mind.
The querent needs to be aware
of how this fits in with this
situation.
5. The attitudes of others.
Attitudes and thoughts about this
situation from people surrounding
the querent.
6. An Obstacle.
This is something the querent must
overcome to resolve the situation.

situation.

3 Card Spread
Card
1.The past.
Card 2.The present.
Card 3.The future.
This is a good reading for
anyone who just wants something
general about their life.

The
nine card spread, this is the one
I
most often use as it gets right to
the point
and is very clear and concise;
9
Card Spread
Cards
1-2-3 are past
Cards
4-5-6 are present
Cards
7-8-9 are future.
~
This
is an expansion of the three card
spread. When I read I see the
first row (1-3) as the past for
this person, remember past could
be 20 years ago, or yesterday.
I
see the second row (4-6) as what
is going on in the present and
what is contributing to what will
happen in the future. Because you
can change what you are doing in
the present in order to have the
future that you want.
I
see the third row (7-9) as the
future.
If
you find you need more information
on any of the cards, feel free to
pull another card for that area. I
often do that to get to the
nitty gritty of that situation.

Next
we get into Chakra Spreads. I will
be discussing Chakras but wanted
to put the spreads here with the
other ones. I will not put the
meanings or energies of the
Chakras here, but in the Chakra
chapter, these spread just show
you which spread to use to see if
they are balanced or not and what
you need to do to bring them back
into balance.
~
Chakra
spread
Simply
draw one card for each chakra. I
find this spread very effective
for focusing my attention on what
each chakra's condition is. I
meditate, or concentrate briefly,
I should say, on each chakra and
its focus before I draw its card.
This spread will tell you if that
Chakra is in balance or not. If in
straight up position, it is
balanced, if in reverse position
it is
unbalanced.
1. Root Chakra
2.
Sacral Chakra
3. Solar plexus Chakra
4.
Heart Chakra
5.
Throat Chakra
6. Brow Chakra
7. Crown Chakra
~
This
is the one I use. It is very deep
but very clear in
exactly what is going on with me.
There are a lot of cards to this,
but worth the effort.
1-The
past-
what the person has brought with
them from the
past that is affecting their
unbalanced or balanced.
2-The
Root Chakra
3-What
is contributing to the imbalance
of that chakra
4-What
will help that chakra balance
5-The
Sacral Chakra
6-What
is contributing to the imbalance
of that chakra
7-What
will help that chakra balance
8-Solar plexus Chakra
9-What
is contributing to the imbalance
of that chakra
10-What
will help that chakra balance
11-Heart
Chakra
12-What
is contributing to the imbalance
of that chakra
13-What
will help that chakra balance
14-Throat
Chakra
15-What
is contributing to the imbalance
of that chakra
16-What
will help that chakra balance
17-Brow
Chakra-
18-What
is contributing to the imbalance
of that chakra
19-What
will help that chakra balance
20-Crown
Chakra
21-What
is contributing to the imbalance
of that chakra
22-What
will help that chakra balance
23-Future
Outcome
When you lay out the cards, if the Chakra cards (the ones
on the actual chakra) are right
side up, they are in balance, if
in reverse they are unbalanced. If
the Chakra is in balance you can
still see what keeps it that way
and what hinders it.
The
blocking cards are placed sideways
and the helping cards in right
position.
Of
course you have no idea what the
Chakras mean, until you read my
