Letting Go Spread

My idea for this spread came from a painful situation/realization ... and I found myself needing to let go of many years of yearning.


_________5-6_________
__3-4_____7_____1-2__
_____8-9____10-11____

1-2---East/Air: Your thoughts/impressions … can encompass: what you think happened, how you perceived things, your take on the other person, etc.

3-4---West/Water: Your fears/longings … can encompass: fear of holding on, fear of letting go, what you wanted when it started, what you want now, deepest desires

5-6---North/Earth: Your subconscious/secret heart … can encompass: the thing you barely admit to yourself, the truth of you that you share only with your Higher Power

7---Center/Heart: The crux of the matter … where things are right here, right now … not the past nor the future, just this one moment in time

8-9---South/Inspiration: Guidance/What your (Higher Power, Spirit Guide, Guardian Angel, Animal Totem, etc.) are telling you

10-11---South/Fire: How you can help yourself

For the card pairings, I read a synthesis of the two cards, rather than one then the other as two separate statements. For me, it reveals dichotomies in my thinking and feeling, perceptions, that I maybe wouldn’t otherwise notice or admit to.

Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated.

I thought this was perfect for what I needed to be working on. I did this and posted my reading: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?p=1897674#post1897674

Let me know what you see and think.

Thank you and love.

Oh, bless your heart, puresoul, thank you for trying this out! I hope it helps you and if you have any suggestions on anything, by all means I'd love to hear them.

I had some trouble with two South positions, so I changed the spread a bit.

________10-11________
__8-9_____1_____2-3__
_____6-7____4-5____

1---Center/Heart:

2-3---East/Air:

4-5---South/Fire:

6-7---North/Earth:

8-9---West/Water:

10-11---Spirit/Inspiration:

That way it follows what the pentacle positions mean to me.

Great spread either way!

Is this what you mean if it looks like ...

If so, I love it! This is the first spread I've made so Thank you!

Well, it's shaped like a pentagram, where Spirit is at the top point. Then it goes; East, South, North, West clockwise at the points. At least, for me, that's what the points are.

It's just an alternative to the one you did. Either way it works!

Thanks so much for this spread. I used your spread and then I revised it to read like the following. I used geometric sequencing to align stations into a pentagram so that 10-11 and 6-7 are in the northern position for subconsciousness and spiritual guidance from above, cards 2-3 are for knowledge from the right side of the brain, cards 4-5 for knowledge from the left side of the brain, and cards 8-9 under the heart for the gut feeling of fear/longings.

HaHaHa ... I like all of your ideas! And I love the fact that layout is so adaptable for everyone.

Have a great day!
