This is a spread I designed to help put things in perspective when you’re trying to manifest a vision and your path starts to get a little foggy, when you feel stuck in a rut, lost, or as if you’re running in circles.
Position One - Where You’re At
This position represents your present condition or circumstances in relation to your vision. You might like to think of it as an essential building block or stepping stone.
Some [suggested] questions to ask: What purpose is this serving? How can I make the most of this situation? Why is experiencing this necessary for manifesting my vision?
Position Two - What You’re Blowing Out of Proportion
This indicates an issue you’re exaggerating or an aspect of your current situation that you’re experiencing unnecessary resistance to.
Questions to ask: Why am I experiencing this resistance? What can I learn from it? How can I work toward resolving it?
Position Three - What You’re Taking For Granted
This could be an opportunity or asset that is currently available to you that you’re overlooking or failing to use to your advantage.
Questions to ask: Why am I not receptive to this gift? What am I forfeiting by disregarding it? How can I actively use it to my advantage?
Position Four - The Direction You’re Headed
This card indicates the direction your current actions, behaviors, and/or perspectives are leading you.
Questions to ask: Is this complementary or contradictory to my vision? Which of my actions/behaviors/perspectives are propelling me in this direction?
Optional: If your interpretation of the card revealed for this position does not seem to be in alignment with or conducive to your vision, pull a card for Position 4A to shed light on how you can go about redirecting your course.
Position Five - What’s Holding You Back
This represents something that is holding you back, bogging you down, and ultimately keeping you “stuck”, whether it be tangible or intangible.
Questions to ask: Why am I holding onto this? What does it stem from? How can I go about releasing/resolving it?
Position Six - What Will Propel You Forward
This is the key to bringing some clarity to your path (or at least confidence to your uncertainty) and getting back on track.
Questions to ask: Why is this important? How can I actively cultivate and employ it?
Position Seven - The Nature of Your Vision
This position reveals the quality of your vision– it might represent the underlying energy attached to it, what it will bring into/how it will affect your life and the lives of others, or perhaps whether it’s authentic and worthwhile or superficial and unrealistic.
Questions to ask: Why is this important to me? How does this reflect my intentions? What purpose will this serve the whole?
Position Eight - What You’re Romanticizing
This is an aspect of your vision that desire has distorted to some extent, something you’re putting on a pedestal, obsessing about, or otherwise over-emphasizing which is giving you tunnel vision.
Questions to ask: Why am I attributing so much value to this? How can I bring this type of energy into my life right now rather than relying on my attained vision to produce it?
Position Nine - What You’re Overlooking
This is a potential obstacle or difficulty inherent in your vision that you’re not taking into consideration. For every gift a curse, every success a burden. This should not discourage you from pursuing your vision but rather encourage you to pace yourself on the journey and brace yourself for what lies at the end of it.
Questions to ask: What do I need to understand about this? How can I prepare myself for it?
