Some New Tarot Spreads for Uncertain Times
This first one I called âA Path Forwardâ and it kinda weighs three options for moving forward in an uncertain situation.
Card 1: Represents you. You could choose an indicator, if thatâs your sorta thing, but Iâm a glutton for punishment and like to let the deck tell me exactly what sort of disaster Iâm being at any given point in time.
Card 2: What Crosses You. Basically a big influence causing the period of indecision, stagnation, and tension.
Card 3: Represents the Path Youâre Currently On. Meaning, based upon the patterns youâre following and the energy at hand, this is the way things are headed.
Card 4: Road Block! This is whatâs keeping you from moving forward on the path youâre currently on.
Card 5: Alternate Route #1. This can be an option youâve already considered or a suggestion someone (heck maybe the cards suggest it) gave you.
Card 6: Road Block for Alternate Route #1. Self explanatory.
Card 7: Alternate Route #2. Just like the first alternate route, this is just another possible path to take.
Card 8: You guessed it, this is a Road Block to Alternate Route #2. But donât worry, there are still three more cards left in this reading.
Card 9: Overcoming the road block for the path youâre on. This should be a practical action to take towards pushing through and continuing on your way.
Card 10: A means of overcoming the road block for Alternate Route #1. Again. Practical action to take. A means of clearing your options.
Card 11: A means of overcoming the road block for Alternate Route #2.
This spread is meant less to be an outcome thing, and more of a means of examining some options when it feels like youâre spinning your wheels.
The second spread Iâve (for now) called the âKey to Your Purposeâ spread and is meant for those existential âWhat do I wanna do with my life?â sort of times.
Card 1: Again, this will represent you. Just like the last spread, you can pick an indicator, or let the cards call it like it is.
Card 2: What Crosses You. The big influence/situation thatâs got you feeling this way.
Card 3: The Path Youâre On. What youâre currently doing!
Card 4: The Thing You were Meant to Do. What it is youâre being called to do. It could align well with Card 3. It might not.
Card 5: The Turning Point. The means of moving from the path youâre on, to the path youâre meant to be on. Like turning a key that unlocks a door.
Cards 6-8 are practical actions to take in order to achieve this. Card 5 gives you the big picture, but 6-8 are meant to be the little steps to take.
Card 9: Your Purpose. Sort of an outcome card. This card should (hopefully) grant some closure. A goal to work towards. A purpose for life that is achievable through the advice given in the earlier cards.
Hope these are helpful to someone!
