Air- Hopes and Fears Spread

yet another spread I sketched up! There may be others out there like this, but I promise I didn't steal! Okay, this one is shaped like the Alchemical symbol for Air. The theme is your hopes and fears, as well as any possible connection. So here you go!

-----------8------------
------6---------7-------
----3------5-------4-----
1------------------------2

1: What is my greatest hope?
2: What is my greatest fear?
3: How can I manifest this hope into a reality?
4: How can I conquer this fear?
5: How does my fear affect my hope, or vice versa?
6: what energies would benefit my hope?
7: What energies are needed to temper my fear?
8: advice/guidance

Please leave questions or comments! thank you!

(jotting it down for future use)

thanks!

Thank you, rockersgurl. =) that was my intention. I like spreads that have a really personal feel to them more than general ones. It allows for more information.

I like this spread but to get rid of confusion and be more precise, I would add another card rather than putting vice versa and either put it as 5b or 6 and the rest as 7,8 and 9. You could also put the 5, 5b (or 5, 6) crossing each other like an X (not +) and maybe reorder. I also think this would be a good way to add linking to the spread (ie 1 and 5, 2 and 5b or 6) all could interrelate, show blocking, and elaboration depending on how you choose to read. Not to mention progression.

Hope this helps...

That makes alot of sense, thank you very much. This is one of my first times making spreads. You're right, it clears things up and adds flow. Like I said, anyone is free to add on or tune it. I put it here for others to enjoy, and I'm glad you helped it out. =)
