I was really taken with a posting on this blog http://gaiantarot.typepad.com/ (I need to learn how to embed a link, I think), the December 19th entry, about the Halcyon days. I wanted to do a Solstice reading, so I made this spread:
***************7********************
1***2***3*********4***5***6*********
1-3 are for the year leaving
4 - 6 are the year ahead
7 is the fulcrum, the pivotal point, well, now, the Solstice
1 = what I need to leave behind
2 = what I need to learn from
3 = what I need to take forward
4 = an opportunity to watch for
5 = a challenge to face
6 = a message to keep with me through the year
7 = a snapshot of where you are now (interesting to see how 1 - 3 lead up to it and to imagine how 4 - 6 will flow forth from it)
