Reflective Pond, for transitions and situations needing change.

Hi,

I've been working with this spread for the last few days and am finding it quite useful for situations that involve transitions (career changes, moves, life choices). It's designed to work like a meditation as if the querent were staring into their own reflection in a still pond. It looks like this...

2, 3, 4
1
5, 6, 7

The idea is that the current situation is reflected in cards 2,3 & 4, which can be laid out as the answers to the questions.

Thoughts that created the situation
Actions that created the situation
Who you are in that situation

The #1 card is the spiritual significance of the situation. The overall life lesson or theme contained by it. The thing to be addressed in a nutshell.

The bottom row is the mirror image of the top and presented as the solution to the cards laid out there. So answers to the questions.

Thoughts that will release you from the situation
Actions that will release you from the situation
Who you will become as a result of this

If anyone would like to give it a go. I'd appreciate some feedback on it.

Interesiting spread. Just to clarify..
Do you mean the positions go like this:

2. Thoughts that created the situation
3. Actions that created the situation
4. Who you are in that situation
5. Thoughts that will release you from the situation
6. Actions that will release you from the situation
7. Who you will become as a result of this

*or* do you mean that all three cards 2-3 (and 5-6 respectively) answer all those three questions together and create a small story? (-If you know what I mean?)

The first one, although the second option sounds interesting too..

This is an interesting spread as well as interesting perspective.
Now I haven't tried it yet . . . but another idea came to me looking at it. This may give another layer to the depth of this reading. . .

What if we look at it as maybe how we became 4 through 2 and 3 and maybe being 4 could relate to other issues / concerns.

Interesting idea. I might try it on the next one. Thanks.
