Your best 4-card spreads

Cadet Maxim Spread by Glass Owl

The following quote inspired this 4 card spread.

"Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible." --Cadet Maxim

1-2-3-4

1. How can I find the courage to take more risks?
2. How can I find the will to care more?
3. What should I be dreaming more about?
4. In what area of my life should I be raising my expectations?


Understanding relationships spread by NightVision

Decide on the person whose relationship with you you want to explore. Repeat their name as you draw each of 4 cards to be laid out thus:


4
1 2 3


1) will illustrate what influences brought you together; the kind of state you were in that drew you to them.

2) will illustrate the feelings they arouse in you. It's useful to have a handle on these things, even if you think you already know what they are. I was surprised

3) The natural culmination of this relationship (even if it is ongoing) - what this relationship leaves you with. How it has added (hopefully not subtracted from) your life

4) The one thing that defines the relationship for you, the symbol of the relationship. The kind of 'landmark' for you that it is/was.

Like the movie "Moulin Rouge" this spread is about truth, beauty, freedom but above all things, love.

1. Truth - Acknowledge this.
2. Beauty - Be in awe of this.
3. Freedom - Set this free.
4. Love - Embrace this.

I'm exceptionally fond of my daily reading:



I usually read the cards holistically and I find the readings to be very honest. Feel free to look at my website link to see the reading in action (I post everyday).

--2--
3---4
--1--

1. What is in the pot? Current situation or problem
2. What stirs the pot? What influences, agitates or stirs the situation
3. What needs to be added? What can be done to enhance the situation or solve the problem
4. What comes out of the pot? How the situation or problem will work out

I also really like a 'Do this/don't do this' spread:

1---2---3---4

1 situation
2 do this
3 don't do this
4 outcome

But is that outcome if you do do this or if you don't do this?
