A spread is the shape you lay the cards in. Each position gives a card its own meaning. Four classic spreads, from light and daily to deep and once-a-quarter.

The Three-Card Spread
Past · Present · Future
The classic three-card spread is the starting point for almost every tarot journey. Three cards together form a short arc that shows where you've come from, where you stand now, and which direction is opening up. Simple enough to draw daily, yet deep enough to crack open a layer of awareness in a single moment.

The Five-Card Spread, Cross of Insight
Situation · Challenge · Source · Action · Outcome
The five-card spread is a natural deepening of the three. It adds the challenge and the inner source, two poles that color any situation. Form: place card 1 in the middle, card 2 above, card 3 below, card 4 to the left, card 5 to the right. A cross that lights your question from every side.

The Seven-Card Spread, Moon Arc
From new moon to full moon and back
Seven cards in an arc that mirrors the moon cycle. Each position belongs to a phase: from the seed of the new moon, through growth, to full bloom and back to rest. This is a spread to read over time, perfect at the start of a new month or cycle.

The Celtic Cross, ten-card spread
The classic for a complete picture
The Celtic Cross is the classic ten-card spread. Two structures in one: an inner cross that uncovers the situation, and a vertical staff of four cards that gives the wider context, from yourself and your environment to hope, fear and outcome. This is a spread you take your time for.
