Learning Tarot Spreads level Five.

Hello all and welcome! 

If you have never encountered Hubpages before we have a wide variety of hubs on Tarot; click here to be redirected to the Tarot Community page. 

If you are learning Tarot and are joining me for the first time then you may want to go back over some of what we have already done. Visit my home hub to find these.

If you are in the right place then do please read on. Remember that in level four we stepped up the difficulty so let us follow suit here. Good luck!

Questioning your Self

This spread works well when the enquirer feels trapped in a particular situation. It makes them examine the situation from all angles. Layout your cards as follows;

			[3]		[6]

		[2]	[1]	[5]

			[4]		[7]

Card one is  the essence of the problem...The situation you currently find yourself in. 

Card two gives a background to the situation by showing you what happened for it to get to this point.

Card three represents the way you currently feel about or view the situation.

Card four shows you what it is you are afraid of.

Card five represents what will happen in the immediate future.

Card six is a warning.

Card seven is a suggestion.

Goal Setting

This is a good way to review progress on an enquirer you regularly read for. Layout your cards like this;

			[7]

		[8]		[6]

	[1]				[5]

		[2]		[4]

			[3]

 Card one represents your starting point or your last reading.

Card two shows you your best strengths and skills.

Card three tells of an old problem that you have always had.

Card four shows you your weakness and vices.

Card five the mirror of yourself, this represents your new starting point and all that you have changes.

Card six shows you your unknown talents.

Card seven represents new chances and promise.

Card eight validates that your passions are worthwhile.

The ninth card is the first card also, and represents the closing of the cycle and fresh beginnings.

The Clarification Spread

Ideal for reminding aloof enquirers to be humble, or for reassuring humble enquirers that they are not doormats. Layout the cards as below;

			[1]

		[2]		[3]

			[7]

		[4]		[6]

			[5]

Card one represents your own opinion.

Card two shows what you can see clearly.

Card three Reminds you of what you too easily forget.

Card four shows the opinions of others.

Card five shows the enquirer what it is that others see clearly.

Card six tells us what others easily forget.

Card seven reminds us of what is essential.

The Pyramid.

This is one of my favorite spreads in terms of accuracy and I constantly use it to scare non-believers into submission! It gives an overview of the persons life so far and a good reader will be able to read between the lines and pick up on the relevance of each card in real life terms. So, layout your cards like this;

				[10]

			[9]		[8]

		[7]		[6]		[5]

	[4]		[3]		[2]		[1]

This spread is the easiest to read out of all of those I am showing you for this level, but it should give and accurate life-reading.

Starting at the first card move along the bottom row. the Four cards on the bottom row represent the persons past. The three  cards in the middle represent their current ambitions, personality or achievements. The two cards in the third row up show you the enquirers near future. The top card shows the long term future.

There are many ways to tell how long certain prophecies will take to come round etc, but I really don't use it enough to be talking about it with an experts voice. So, instead, I will give you the one spread that I do occasionally use for regulars who want a change.

The Calendar Spread

The calendar spread is fairly self explanatory so I have not included a diagram.

Starting in the center, pick out and place your signifier before you shuffle.

Next lay 12 cards anti-clockwise around your signifier starting from the farthest left point. 

Each of the twelve cards represents one calendar month. The card will give a general overview of that month.
