What are Tarot Spreads?
Tarot spreads are specific layouts or patterns used to arrange tarot cards during a reading. Each spread has a unique structure and meaning, designed to answer different types of questions or explore various aspects of life.
Understanding Spreads
A tarot spread is like a map that guides both the reader and the querent (person receiving the reading) through the cards. Each position in the spread represents a different aspect of the question or situation being explored.
Common Types of Spreads
- Single Card Spread: One card for a quick answer or daily guidance
- Three Card Spread: Past, Present, Future or Situation, Action, Outcome
- Celtic Cross: A complex 10-card spread for deep insights
- Crossroads Spread: Two cards representing different paths or choices
- Relationship Spread: Cards arranged to explore connections between people
How Spreads Work
When you draw cards for a spread, each card is placed in a specific position. The position's meaning combines with the card's interpretation to create a comprehensive answer. Cards can appear upright or reversed, adding another layer of meaning.
The Two Choices Tarot Spread (Crossroads Spread)
The Two Choices Tarot Spread, also known as the Crossroads Spread, is perfect for decision-making. It uses two cards to represent two different paths or choices you're facing. Each card reveals insights about that particular option, helping you understand the potential outcomes and energies associated with each path.
This two choices tarot spread is ideal when you're at a crossroads in life and need clarity on which direction to take. The cards may appear upright or reversed, offering different perspectives on your choices. This simple yet powerful spread helps you make informed decisions by comparing the energies of two options side by side.
Reading the Cards
Remember, tarot spreads are tools for reflection and guidance. The cards don't predict the future with certainty, but rather offer insights, perspectives, and possibilities to help you make informed decisions.
