Tarot spreads
A spread is the layout of a reading: how many cards you draw and what each place means. Start with one card a day, then try three, four or five.
Looking for the classic ten-card layout? Read our gentle Celtic Cross guide, position by position, or design a spread of your own with the free spread maker. Prefer paper? Print a worksheet for every spread.
More layouts in the magazine: situation, action, outcome · career · new moon · full moon · birthday · new year · deck interview.
