Tarot Spreads

A layout where each position has a meaning, so the same card says different things depending on where it falls.

Choosing a spread

Use one card when you want focus, three for a trajectory, five when the situation has several moving parts. The question matters more than the size: open questions ("what should I understand about…") read better than yes/no ones. Draw a spread in tarot, Lenormand, Kipper, runes or oracle.
