Spring is almost here and it’s time for a quick three-card Tarot Spread to welcome in the new season …

It’s Almost Spring Spread

1. What’s ready to be released or refreshed for the new season?
2. What’s ready to grow or be replanted?
3. What tools can help you thrive this Spring?

In preparation for Valentine’s Day … here’s a fun, quick 3-card Tarot Spread to get some insight into your relationship(s).

Please note, you can use this spread for any relationship in your life, romantic or non-romantic … it’s just about ‘clicking’.

What Makes The Relationship Click Spread

1. The Spark … this is that first ‘click’ – the initial quality or shared energy that made you think, “Hey, this person seems interesting ….”
2. The Glue .. this is the element that keeps the union strong, or at least connected and solid, even when things get tough between the two of you, and/or in the world beyond you both.
3. The Gift … this is what’s uniquely special about the relationship – the less obvious elements, lessons, or blessings that this connection brings to your life.

Enjoy … and Happy Valentine’s day! (a little early I know … but still, have a lovely day)

Here’s a quick five-card New Year spread to check in on what worked well for you this past year, and what may have been a bit of a challenge, as well as some guidance for going forward …

New Year Tarot Spread

1. What Worked – What actions, choices, or habits have helped me thrive this past year?
2. What Didn’t Work So Well – What actions, choices, or habits didn’t serve me particularly well?
3. Gift for the New Year – What gifts and strengths are available to me for the start of the new year?
4. Attitude for Strength – How can I best face up to any challenges?

As beautiful as it can be, even at the best of times, gathering with friends and family can sometimes be tense. And these days, there might be a little extra tension floating around.

So in pursuit of a peaceful and happy holiday time with our loved ones, even when we don’t always get along, here’s a six-card Tarot spread meant to offer some advice …

In Search of Holiday Harmony Spread:

1. Personal Check-In – how are you feeling at the moment, this is the energy you’ll likely be bringing to the gathering
2. Group Dynamic – what are the current emotions and attitudes present in the group (for this question you might also choose a card for particular individuals in relationship to yourself)
3. Potential Tension Area – what potential triggers, conflicts, or misunderstandings might be a possible source of discord
4. Positive Area of Connection – what are the positive sources of connection and harmony among the group (or with regards to particular individuals in relation to yourself)
5. Communication Advice – how might you most effectively and compassionately communicate in order to strengthen harmony among the group
6. Gift to the Party – what positive gift can you, in particular, bring to the party

I hope all your gatherings are peaceful, fun, and full of love.

In honour of American Thanksgiving (Canada celebrated back in October) we have the Thank You 5-Card Tarot Spread …

1. This year, I’m especially grateful for …
2. What positive lesson can I gain from challenges faced this past year
3. How can I best extend my gratitude towards others
4. How can I best share my abundance
5. How can I nurture a grateful attitude throughout the next twelve months

Happy Thanksgiving … I’m grateful to you all.

If you’ve just gotten yourself a new Tarot deck, and want to learn a little about it, try out this quick five-card Deck Personality Spread …

1. What does this deck [but use its name] especially like to talk about?
2. How does it like to communicate?
3. What emotional tone can I expect from it?
4. How does it inspire?
5. How can I get the best practical advice from it?

If you noticed that these five questions seem to roughly reflect the Major Arcana, and the four suits of the Minor, you were right, that’s exactly what they’re meant to do.

I used to do this spread all the time when I’d get a new deck, but forgot about it until recently when I was playing with my first new set of cards in a while.

Of course you can read your cards whether you check in with their personality or not, but it’s a fun spread to try as you get to know a new deck.

It starts a conversation, giving you a chance to learn the deck’s language before diving into questions that might matter to you more.

This isn’t a formal creativity spread … more like a small group of questions about creativity and getting inspired. They were questions that were coming up for me the other day so I threw some cards and got some insights. Maybe you’ll find them useful too …

•How am I best expressing creativity in my life right now?

•Where is creativity, or inspiration, lacking?
•what might be a remedy for the lack in this area?

•What are two general suggestions for sparking new creative inspiration… pull two cards

•How might I inspire others to tap into their own creativity?

New questions might arise as you see how the cards respond to these ones. If that happens, go with it – ask as many questions as you’d like. But try not to get too carried away – sometimes a lot of cards can just confuse an issue.
_________________________________________

One other thing … after I asked the questions listed above, I pulled one more card. It was a Wisdom Question á la the late, great Rachel Pollack …

What is Creativity?

Using the Tattoo Tarot by Megamunden, I got the 6 of Swords:

Creativity is new ideas arising from the ideas, or thoughts we already have.

Have an inspiring and creative day.

This Tarot Spread is meant as an exploration of an existing relationship – romantic or otherwise …

1. What do I want/expect from this relationship?
1b. How is this need/desire being fulfilled or not

2. What does the other person want/expect from this relationship?
2b. How is their need/desire being fulfilled or not

3. Describe a source of positive unity between us
3b. How might this unity be further nurtured

4. Describe a source of possible disunity between us
4b. How might we work through this potential issue

5. Attitudinal recommendation to maintain and/or strengthen the relationship, ie. what attitude would be useful at this time

6. A suggested behaviour and/or physical action to take toward maintaining and/or strengthening the relationship

Here’s a quick 7-card spread you can use to check in on a particular goal you’ve been pursuing …

Goal – name you goal

1. Where are you now in relation to your goal
2. What have you been doing especially well on with regards to the goal
3. What area might need some more focus
4. Recommended attitude for this stretch of the process

Three Recommended physical behaviours or tasks to further you along …

5. Suggestion One
6. Suggestion Two
7. Suggestion Three

If you’re feeling a little off, emotionally or otherwise, try going through your deck and consciously choosing a card or two that you think describes how you’re feeling and why you might be feeling that way.

Then shuffle your deck up and randomly choose another card or two asking the same question.

Take a look at how the cards relate (if at all) and maybe journal about all the cards you pulled and how they match your mood.

Whenever I try this out I’m always amazed at the insights I get. Hope it’s interesting for you too!
