Tarot cards are used in spreads to shed light on a wide range of situations. Spreads can contain as little as one card (some people, myself included, use this as a simple form of daily guidance), and there are many more complicated ones: the Celtic Cross, for instance, features ten cards, each representing a different aspect of a question (unconscious drivers, external influences, hopes & fears etc). A three-card spread is a popular choice for many people, and there are many variants on this, where what the cards represent depends on what you’re hoping to gain insight on.
For example:
- Past, present and future
- Body, mind and spirit
- You, your relationship and your partner
In addition to looking at what the cards represent by their placement in the spread, we can also interrogate how they relate to each other by looking at broader correspondences between them, such as numerology of the card numbers, relationships between any figures on the cards, distribution of Major and Minor Arcana, and so on. The discussion will always be guided by you: if something doesn’t ‘fit’, we will take time to explore why this might be so. For instance, if you have a strong sense that a particular card’s meaning is wrong for you at the present moment, we may consider whether there is resistance to something you may not wish to acknowledge, or if the meaning relates to another part of your life that is not under current scrutiny.
