Tarot School 9 years, 4 months agoI’d love to know what everyone’s favorite spreads are. Do you typically rely on just one or two? Were their any you tried that really surprised you in a good way?

If you’ve got time, I really don’t think you can beat the Celtic Cross, call me a traditionalist – it covers all the bases really neatly and even works when you don’t actually have a question. But sometimes it can be a drag to do, like, ten whole cards! So I also love just using the centre two cards from the CC. Like this:
1. Situation

(It’s pretty self explanatory but here’s a picture of it.)

This is an awesome idea. I love the Celtic Cross as well, but needed something quicker. Thanks! If I get a really interesting reading this way , maybe I’ll post a pic

i will often do a daily “temp check” with three cards — one for internal factors, one for external factors, and one for advice for the day.

Thanks! I’ve done something similar, but the three cards had different significance. I like that you differentiate between internal and external factors a lot !

I really like this daily three card reading!

I don’t use reversed cards because I don’t really understand them. They also add a layer of anxiety for me because I see them as always being negative. I never want to add something negative or chaotic to a reading.
I don’t ‘use’ them as such either. My clients don’t like them and I’ve found from experience that they add a layer of confusion which is really unhelpful.
My approach is, when a card comes out reversed and I’m reading face to face with someone, I make a mental note, turn it the right way up and move on. Then when I’m working through each card or…[Read more]
I actually thought you had to do reversals, so this is great to know. I did a reading today that came up all reversals and although I do find it confusing I think all the reversals speak very much to the intensely blocked me of the moment.
I was waiting for someone to ask this for me. I felt kind of silly for always ignoring / putting reversed cards the right side up. This makes me feel a lot better though. I agree – they’re confusing, anxiety-inducing and for me, figuring them out really seems to halt my flow.
I didn’t change my readings for reversed cards until I’d been reading tarot for a few years. But eventually, I started to get a feeling for how they interact with the placement of cards within a spread. I never really got them when I tried to think of them only in the context of their images. (I think because the idea of “reversing” a meaning…[Read more]
Changing energy levels makes a lot more sense to me than good/bad or bad/good. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been reading Joan Bunning’s guide, and I like that idea of a reversal just meaning that the energy of the card is fading or blocked or… slightly tilted. I’ve just started learning tarot though, so I’m planning on ignoring reversed cards until I have a good handle on what the cards actually symbolize.
