Common Spreads

A spread gives each card's position its meaning. The more specific the question, the easier the spread is to read.

One card · daily guidance

The simplest method: draw one card a day as a reminder or something to reflect on.

Three cards · past, present, future

Traces how a situation unfolds: the first card is the past that led here, the second the present, the third where things are heading if they continue.

Three cards · situation, obstacle, advice

Good for questions that need a way forward: see the situation clearly, find what is in the way, then read the advice.
