So Many Spreads So Little Time: <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Celtic Cross, Three Card Spread, Five Card Spread, Six Month Spread, I can go on and on.\u00a0 The Tarot has a number of different way in which the cards can be read.\u00a0 Some decks have their own spread suggestions and some decks stick with the basic spreads.\u00a0 When I first learned the Tarot as a teenager, I learned using the Celtic Cross Spread but as the years went on I slowly developed my own spread incorporating what I felt was coming naturally to me into the traditional Celtic Cross.<\/p>\n

When it comes to readings you have to go with what seems natural and comfortable.\u00a0 If the traditional spreads works for you then by all means stick to it but if you feel inclined to add or change something about a particular spread then definitely go with your gut instinct.<\/p>\n

The purpose of readings is to give your client the most beneficial information and if you are not comfortable with the spread you are using then you need to find the one that works for you even if it means changing it up a little.\u00a0 There are some out there that might disagree with my thinking however it\u2019s best for you to be able to flow during your reading then to feel you are stumbling.<\/p>\n

I do suggest when you are first learning to do readings that you learn one of the basic spreads and then when the need arises you go ahead and tweak it to suit your energy and by all means if you are comfortable with the traditional ways then please do stick with it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve learned throughout the years as I\u2019ve done readings that allowing myself to flow creatively assisting others through their life issues and cycle is more important then sticking to a ridged though process.\u00a0 Listing to that intuitive voice during your readings will keep you well grounded and allow your client to really benefit from their interaction with you and often times ensure future return visits.<\/p>\n

So let your creative juices flow and your intuition be your guide during your next reading.<\/p>\n
