How to use a spread worksheet
- Write the question first. Before you shuffle, put your question in words on the sheet. Open questions that begin with "what" or "how" give the cards more to say than yes-or-no ones. Our list of questions to ask tarot cards can help.
- Lay the cards like the drawing. Each number on the reading cloth is a place on your table. Draw a card for each place, in order.
- Picture before meaning. In each box, write what you see in the card before you look anything up: a color, a gesture, an object. Then read its meaning on the card pages or the printable cheat sheet.
- Join them up. The last line asks for one sentence that holds all the cards together. It is often the most useful line on the page.
- Come back later. Keep the sheet in your journal and read it again in a week. What turned out to matter? That is how you learn your own meanings. The journal templates have a page for that too.
Which spread should I print?
For a daily practice, the one-card sheet. For a first real question, the past, present, future sheet. If you are weighing a choice, the decision spread; for something that needs time and quiet, the five-card self-reflection spread. The classic ten-card layout is explained in our Celtic Cross guide, and you can draw any of these in the free reading first, then copy the cards onto paper.
