Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has ever felt inspired to create a Tarot Spread, but hadn't the foggiest idea what the positional-meanings of the cards ought to be?!
Last week I was inspired to design a spread during waning moon in Pisces (the day after the Full Mon in Aquarius), so I shuffled and threw down 11 cards in the shape of the Pisces alchemical glyph: two mirroring arcs bridged by one card. Well, I was surprised by how the cards were not only associated with the sign of Pisces (my sun sign) and seemed to be pointing out a pattern and indicating some rough position meanings! There was a proliferation of several Cauldron cards (I was using Tarot of the Old Path)--Pisces is a sign of the Element of Water; the first card at the bottom of each arc was the Fool and the World, respectively showing the beginning and the end of a journey; there was also the Hanged Man (indicating the planet of Neptune and self-sacrifice, both of which are Piscean attributes); and the High Priestess (indicating intuition and the Inner Mysteries, which is also indicative of Pisces). The card bridging the two arcs was the two of coins, which generally decisions, or sometimes indecision.
After some deeper study into these cards I believe I may have a very interesting Tarot Spread, indeed! However, I am curious if others have created a tarot spread in a similar manner by allowing the cards that have been drawn to signify the position meanings?
