Tarot Card Spread Basics
How Tarot Spreads Are Used In Tarot Reading
The more comfortable you get with the tarot deck, the easier it will become to decipher
the tarot card meanings. The same came be said for tarot spreads. There are literally
hundreds of tarot spreads to choose from, so to simplify this process, I have listed some
examples of different tarot spreads and the many purposes for which they may be used.
For the beginner it is important to first understand what tarot card spreads are and how
they function. A tarot spread is a configuration of cards laid out in a pre-specified geometric
pattern. Each position of each card in a the tarot spread has a specific meaning. When
individual tarot cards are put together in a tarot spread, their meanings can be used to
form a kind of story. Thus, the pattern of a spread provides the framework for a tarot
reading. The tarot reader utilizes the placement of the cards, or the cards position, with
an identified theme. For example, many spreads include positions for the past, present and
future. They can also include positions for internal feelings, specific challenges, external
factors, and so on.
Tarot card spreads have different implications depending on the type of question or issue
being explored. Some tarot card spreads relay information in a general way while others
are designed to impart information that is very specific in nature. They can also vary in
complexity from a simple one card spread to elaborate spreads that can include all 78
tarot cards. The choice of which spread to use depends primarily on the reader and the
questions that need to be answered.
In a tarot reading, the cards are shuffled by the person being read. This enables the
person to have contact with the cards. While the person is shuffling, they are asked by the
tarot reader to think of a question or issue. The tarot cards are like magnets that attach
to individual energies. Once attached, they pick up information that facilitates the tarot
reader in his or her reading.
Once the cards are pulled and placed, the tarot reader will begin to interpret the images
and positions of the tarot cards. The spread they are placed in adds to the complexities
of the cards meanings. The strength of the cards lies in their unique ability to impart a
persons path. It can do this in two ways; by igniting the intuition or psychic ability of the
tarot reader and by picking up the energy of the person being read. In essence, it is a
marriage. The tarot cards are the bridge between the reader and that of the person being
read, and the tarot spread is the architecture of the reading.
Once you become familiar with the Tarot, you will want to choose the best tarot spread
to suit the particular situation being addressed in your reading. Once you get really
comfortable, you may even want to make up some of your own tarot spreads. As a tarot
reader it is important to choose spreads that encourage your imagination and intuition.
Understanding the placement of the cards is important, but it is just as important to
identify tarot spreads that work for you as an individual. They are as personal as the tarot
cards themselves.

Tarot Spreads For Love & Intimacy

Using the Tarot as a tool for Intimacy in the partner Tarot Spread
Lets face it, communicating with our partner can be quite challenging at times.It takes
a great deal of effort and patience to builda bridge of communication betweentwo
people. In order for our intimate relationships to flourish, we need acceptance, compassion and the ability to listen.
Relationships require accountability to yourself, your partner and the relationship as a
whole. Unfortunately maintaining this level of intimacy on a full time basis can prove to
be almost impossible without guidance.
In tarot reading, the majority of issues that come up for couples can be broken down into
a few skewed beliefs:
We do not know how to effectively express our emotions.
We depend on and hold ourpartners responsible for our happiness.
We expect our partners to individually meet the variety of emotional needs we have all
of the time.
Tarot card readings can be a powerful tool for rebuilding intimacy in a relationship.
The Tarot has the unique ability to uncover both conscious and unconscious behavior
patterns, deepen the level of our awareness (individually and as a couple), andhelp to
determine the developmental stage of a relationship. When done together with ones
partner, the Tarot offers new, informative language to couples, which suggests more
effectiveforms of communication and promotes a deeperunderstanding of one another.
Through the Tarot, a couple can revive their relationship andredirect their path together.
It cracks faulty structures and the limited ways of thinking that, so often, plague our
efforts towards intimacy. The Tarot encourages a partnership to explore the roles each
individual has adopted in the relationship. It is the ultimate tool for freeing oneself of
the ego and finding common ground with ones partner. When utilized properly, many
Tarot card meanings can encourage a couple to explore their boundaries and find a new,
mutual, freedom.
There are certain Tarot spreads that can be done with your partner. One of the most
effective is the Tarot Partner Spread. This spread is an excellent tool for increasing the
dialogue between you and your partner. I have found that when this is utilized on a
regular basis, a couple can re-discover their relationship in an entirely new way.
Using The Tarot As A Tool For Intimacy In The Partner Spread
For this particular spread, each couple takes turns shuffling the cards. Next, you spread
the cards out in a semi-circle in front of you. While concentrating on the suggested
questions that I have listed below, each partner will take a turn, pulling one card for each
question.
1.

What can I learn from you?

2.

What do I expect from you?

3.

How can I be more supportive?

72 The Enchanted Tarot Deck

The Enchanted Tarot

4.

What do I need to work on to become a better partner?

5.

What does my partner need from me?

6.

What is the direction our relationship needs to take?

This list of questions is not set in stone. They may be expanded or changed in any way
that you wish. Keep in mind, the Tarot has multi-layered Tarot meanings. The information
a couple can receive is truly limitless. This simple exercise can deepen both partners level
of awareness and create a new vocabulary from which to relate to one another. It is a
spontaneous and enjoyable way to get to know your partner from a new perspective and
hopefully deepen the level of intimacy.

The Three Card Spread

The Three Card Spread is one of the most popular tarot spreads in use today. Its beauty
lies within its simplicity. It is incredibly effective at highlighting the energy of ones past,
present and future. This is one of the most dynamic tarot spreads that can be used in a
tarot reading to evaluate any number of questions.
Are you looking for spiritual balance? Do you want a quick prediction about your past,
present and future? Or, perhaps you are looking for guidance on a pressing concern or
question? The great thing about the Three Card Tarot Spread is that it allows you to have
the flexibility to explore the outcome of just about any situation.
You can get creative with the Three Card Spread and place the cards in whatever pattern
appeals to you. You may also change the context of the reading and get as imaginative
as you want.
Below I have illustrated some examples of how this spread can be used and changed
according to the needs of your particular situation.

The One Card Spread

Although simple, the One Card Tarot Spread is a very effective spread for problem
solving. It can also be used for answering simple yes or no types of questions during a
tarot reading.
Because you are limited to only one card, it is important that you frame your question
clearly. The more concise you are, the easier it will be to interpret the spread.
This particular spread is known for its ability to give guidance on how to approach a
particular situation. In terms of yes or no questions, it is helpful to incorporate upright
and reversed tarot card positions. Although it is not always the case, reversed card
positions represent a no and an upright position represents a yes.
To begin, shuffle the cards and divide the deck into three piles. While you are shuffling,
be sure to focuson your question. Choose the pile that speaks to you the most and pull
one card. Place it in front of you. This is the one tarot card you will be reading.

The How to Find Love Tarot Card Spread

One of the most standard inquiries made during a Tarot reading concerns matters of
love. One general belief is that true love is something that is outside of ones self, that it
is predestined or an act of fate. In truth, we play a significant role in our own love lives.
Finding true love begins within our own selves. The first step towards finding a fulfilling
relationship begins with finding love within our own inner beings.
The greatest relationships are those in which both partners have discovered who they
are as individuals. When one develops a strong sense of self, their partnerships are
more likely to thrive. With self-awareness and self-knowledge, one is more capable of
expressing their feelings and setting appropriate boundaries. This allows both partners to
develop the ability to recognize the areas in which their relationships need to grow. They
can also acknowledge their own needs and better understand the needs of their partner.
More importantly, for someone that is single, they can come to recognize the traits in a
potential partner that are healthy or unhealthy.
The How to Find Love Spread identifies the key areas in ones life that need to be
developed in order to bring a loving relationship into ones life.

The Self-Healing Tarot Card Spread (6 cards)

Although many people regard tarot reading as a tool for divination, it can also be extremely
helpful tool for exploring psychological issues. One such issue we nearly all have to deal
with on some level are past traumas. Unfortunately, past traumas can leave emotional
blocks, and whether we are consciously aware of them or not, these blocks can hinder us
from experiencing fulfilling relationships, abundance and contentment. If left unhealed,
they can prevent us from growing and finding true happiness.
The Self-Healing Tarot Spread can be a powerful tool for exploring our past traumas
thatmay be preventing us from growing in the present. It does this by exploring the
areas in our lives that remain fixed. These are the circumstances that occurred in our past
that remain unresolved and remain as emotional blocks. Often, these are the scars that
we carry from painful experiencesfrom our past that shape how we perceive the world
and interrelate with those around us. If you find yourself in repetitive painful relationships
for example, the Self Healing Tarot Spread can help to identify the cause as well as
provide a path towards healing, growth and spiritual awareness.

This spread is an excellent tool for increasing the dialogue between you and your partner.
I have found that when this is utilized on a regular basis, a couple can re-discover their
relationship in an entirely new way.
For this particular spread, each couple takes turn shuffling the cards. Next, you spread

The Year Ahead Tarot Spread (13 cards)

The Year Ahead Tarot Spread identifies the issues that can influence your year to come.
I find this spread to be particularly helpful for setting goals.
This spread uses a total of 13 cards, one card for each month and one card to represent
the year in general. When Shuffling, begin by focusing on each month. When you have
placed all 12 cards, shift your focus towards the year in general. This will be the last card
you place.
If you are familiar with astrology, this spread can also represent the twelve houses of the
zodiac. In this respect every card relates to a different aspect of ones life such as finance,
career, relationships, etc. The 13th card represents the general overview of the spread.
You may also use this card to represent you.

The Astrological Tarot Card Spread (13 cards)

All seventy-eight cards of the Tarot should be spread in a fan-shape, face down. The
individual may then pick a total of thirteen cards, which are positioned, in the order they
are chosen, in the Astrological Spread.
The Positions of the Astrological Card Spread
Each of the thirteen positions of the Astrological Spread has a specific meaning. The
positions and their meanings are:
First card/Ares basic personality

This position describes the individual. It can show how he or

she normally works through difficulties.

relates to the problem. Alternatively, it may concern beliefs

relate directly to finances.

The card that occupies this position rules all forms

of communication. It can indicate how an individual
communicates and perhaps even what could be done
differently.

of the individual. It might describe the need for emotional
security, the search for a physical home, or any number of
things.

Fifth card/Leo - Love

read in conjunction with Libra and Capricorn.

The Astrological Spread is more complex than many of the spreads used by Tarot readers
today. It tends to be best suited to those people who have a working knowledge of
astrology and the zodiac, or at least are interested in these things. It is a complicated
spread with great potential.

The Psychological Tarot Spread (6 cards)

93 The Enchanted Tarot Deck

The Enchanted Tarot

The Psychological Tarot Spread is a great spread for examining any emotional issues
that may be affecting you. Through the process of exploration and discovery, this spread
can reveal a great deal about the inner psyche. It does this by revealing any negative
emotional issues that may be challenging you, such as your fears and anxieties, as well
as the more positive aspects, such as your dreams and aspirations.
In the end, you will hopefully have a better understanding of yourself, your challenges,
and a suggested course of action that will hopefully lead to a resolution to the emotional
issues that may be troubling you.

This spread can probably be easily adapted to non-love questions but I think its great for

isnt what they want it to be.

a particular relationship.
In general, the Celtic Cross spread has become a major symbol of Tarot. It is regarded as
a standard consultation spread in the Tarot reader trade, which is attested to by how
much it is to be found in books on Tarot.
This romantic relationship reading will give you valuable insights into several areas of a
relationship, and how those parts interact within you.
Possessing 11 positions, a Celtic Cross reading offers enough positions to represent
relatively complex situations. Within the wheel-shaped part of the spread is a horizontal
axis which represents the flow of outer events from recent past through the present to
the near future.
The other central axis arises out of ones history, through the present moment, to focus
on ones Mission or Higher Power. The self and the relationship issues of the moment are
at the center of the spread.
The column to the right of the Wheel is called the Staff, which can also be thought of as
a ladder. The ideas and advice in this part lift one from the plane of dilemma to a higher
plane of resolution. Dont make the mistake of viewing the Past cards as irrelevant to the
present or future!
Card 1

Love & Me. The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how
you perceive yourself right now.

Card 2

Love Situation. The card that lands in the Love Situation position refers to
social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your relationship

The ten card Celtic Cross is the most common Tarot card layout Ive ever come across.
With this popularity there comes the problem of many variances of placement. Below is
the one I use with my comments about the interaction of the placements.
In my opinion the Celtic Cross works best when used to answer specific questions.
Remember to put some thought into the formulation of the question you wish to ask.
Card 1

The present

Card 2

The immediate challenge facing the querent. You will often pull a difficult
card here, which will indicate an obstacle that must be overcome. When
you pull a good card here, examine it carefully because it will still
represent a challenge.

Card 3

Distant past, foundation. This card should indicate the root of the subject
matter of the question

Card 4

More recent past, including events. This will indicate events taking place,
not necessarily directly connected to the question. For example, if a love
affair going wrong Card 3 would show the root of why it is going wrong,
whereas Card 4 will show something that recently happened to reflect this.
You could see this as a check comment card - a way of seeing that the
reading is sound.

109 The Enchanted Tarot Deck

The Enchanted Tarot

Card 5

The best that can be achieved. This is directly related to the question. Note
that this may not necessarily gel against Card 10 - it depends whether you
are able to get the best. However, a negative card here probably means
that it is worth cutting your losses rather than putting any more effort into
the situation.

Card 6

Immediate Future. This indicates events in the next few days or week(s).
This reading does not cover months.

Card 7

Factors or inner feelings affecting the situation. Compare this against

Card 1 in order to understand underlying forces/trends. If there is conflict
between them this tends to indicate that the querent is going in the wrong
direction.

Card 8

External influences. People, energies or events which will affect the

outcome of the question and are beyond the querents control.

Card 9

Hopes or fears around the situation. This may produce a card that confuses
us badly. Always bear in mind that hopes and fears are closely intertwined,
therefore that which we hope for may also be that which we fear, and
so may fail to happen. Sometimes it is useful to draw a second card for
clarification after the reading has been laid, and to read the two together.

Card 10

Final outcome. This is a fairly self explanatory card. However it is worth

saying that if the card comes up somewhat ambiguous, once again it may
be worth drawing three extra cards to clarify. These should be interpreted
through the lens of Card 10. So if the card drawn is the Tower and we draw
the Ace of Cups, Princess of Cups and Four of Cups in a reading about a
relationship, the Tower would indicate that it is time to move on. The Ace
of Cup suggests that a new relationship is promised with better things
ahead. The Princess of Cups brings new love (and possibly pregnancy).
The Four of Cups shows deep levels of contentment and happiness, and
many options for progress.

Inside. What is on my mind, what mood am I in today, what do I really

want to do today, etc.

Card 2

Outside. At first, I read this as outside influences, but that didn;t quite
work. Now, I see it as the attitude I have to the outside world and the
people I meet today, the stuff I need to do (work) etc. What I bring out
into the world today.

Card 3

Advice. Speaks for itself, really. It usually works as advice on how to

improve either 1 or 2, but quite often, when 1 and 2 are at odds with
each other, it suggests a way to make the two more in harmony with each
other.
