These are some patterns in which tarot cards can be laid out. Each location in the spread pertains to a different aspect of the main issue being addressed. The cards are turned over in a particular order, with each card being interpreted before moving to the next card.

Card of the day

Draw one card at the beginning of your day, and muse over its meaning to you during the rest of the day. Do you see reflections of that card in your life, or in this specific day?

Find the connection

Draw two cards and try to figure out what the connection between the two could be. A challenge that may lead to surprising new insights!
