Where To Find FRIENDSHIP spread?

Trailgirl

Hi there!
Wondered whether any of you kind ladies & gentlemen have got a spread to help a querent who feels very isolated (recent split from a partner, change of town, lack of job) find new friends?
Is there anything that would be more specific than simply "get out more, follow your hobbies,etc."?
Many thanks in advance!

I would be really interested in a spread like this too!

I'm working on it... will get back to you

I would call this Finding Friends

I'm really sorry.. I'm not as creative these days :/ What sort of questions would help this? maybe that will spark me up cause I haven't been able to put something together without it seeming like it was about something else...

alternatively tweaked my Lost pet spread:

I would call this Finding Friends..

Card One - Where are they now: Location?
Card Two - Where do they hang out: Environment?
Card Three - What am I doing that interferes with me finding friends?
Card Four - What they are doing that interferes with me finding them?
Card Five - What can I do that will improve my chances of finding friends?
Card Six - When is it best time to look for friends?
Card Seven - How is the best way to look for friends?
Card Eight - Me

xxxxx7
xx2xxx6

Mostly this is self explanatory, but I think they all might help you make better choices. In truth, for what you are looking for, this is just a template and just laying out the cards, maybe with light interps and looking at what suits, qualities energies are present really gives a good picture of what is involved, so using the questions is optional. I found (I tried this using someone I slightly know) that using the meaning of the suit with the basic card meaning for elaboration seems to work best, but your mileage may vary. ie Card one: King of Rods would mean He is in a place where there is a lot of growth and new beginnings (farm or farmers market), enthusiasm for life and encouragement seems to indicate to me a place where sales are high..

Oddly, just previous to seeing your post I was looking to make a spread basically on how to be your own best friend lol

Hope this makes sense..

Hi Dolphin_Dreamer

I've been watching this thread and jumped at the chance to try this spread. Unfotunately, it read back to me about a past "friendship" (relationship) and 6,7,8 seemed more like advice to move on. This might just be me, or how I saw the cards. I'll post my reading tomorrow in the forum and maybe you can take a look at it.

Some questions that you might use if you continue developing this spread:

What situations will put me in the path of a possible friend?
What attributes/characteristics/physical appearance will they have?
What will we have in common?
How might we differ, but compliment each other?
Is this person reliable/dependable/trustworthy? (something I'd find important to know)
Is this person my age? older? younger?
Will they be a mentor?
What are they here to teach me? (as I believe the philosophy that every person we meet is there to teach us something of ourselves)
What am I here to teach them?
What activities will we most enjoy doing?
How will I know (what signs) when I've met them?

Hope this jogs the creative juices, it's definitely got me thinking.. hmm.. (I've never made a spread before) Thanks for giving this your attention, and I look forward to your "being your own best friend" spread too!

ETA: just read this back, and the questions I suggested don't really answer the WHERE scenario :( Oops.
