I call the spread “Becoming (or, a Spread for Where You Want to Be).”
…………………………1…………...[deck or token/totem]…………….2……………………………
………..…….3………………………........... …4………………………………………….5……………………
……………………………………………………6-7-8…………………………………………………………………..
I placed the deck in-between positions 1 and 2. However, if you are reading for yourself, it might bring you some added mental clarity or focus to place a significant object there. E.g. if it’s a spread about your relationship with your mother, you could picture of her there, or an object that belongs to her. If it’s about you overcoming personal drawbacks like a fear of failure, maybe put some sort of symbol of that fear there, or of a time when you weren’t fearful (like a shell you collected from the beach when you tried to learn to surf).
1- Where You Are Now
2- Where You Want to Be —this is the ultimate underlying thing you want or need, not a specific goal. For instance, let’s say your goal is to sign the lease on that apartment down on 12th street. That’s not what you *really* want in an ultimate sense; what you ultimately want is to have a place of your own that you think of as your own space, where you feel at peace. Any number of living situations could potentially fulfill this ultimate desire in you. This position in the spread is about the latter type of want, the core underlying need that can be achieved in a variety of different ways.
3- What You Have Already Tried That Doesn’t Work—leave this behind; stop doing it
4- What You Have Already Tried, That Helps —keep doing it
5- What You Need to Start Doing —do it.
6- -7 - 8- Where You Will Flourish —three cards, read in concert
