What's your favorite spread?

akmstarlight

I'm writing down some spreads but my list is lamentably short.
What's your favorite spread??
 

BeyondtheVeil

My Favorite Spread

Short, but sweet... {I am not sure where I got it either}. :(

1}. What I know?
2}. What I don't know?
3}. What I need to know?

Then sometimes I add:

4}. Advice/Guidance
5}. What exactly am I supposed to understand about this reading? OR Clarifier.



Hope that helps!:heart:

I love it!
My favorite spreads are simple ones, because, like many of us here, I believe that too many cards can confuse the reader or dilute the message.
Definitely going into my book! Thanks!

I have a 4 card dream interpretation spread in my book already, but this spread seems short, simple, and sweet as well! Going into my book. :)

Wow, I really like this spread too. It has more cards than I would normally want to use, but could be useful. I'll write this one down too!

Another short and sweet one. There is a pesky problem I am having right now and I believe I can use this to better understand it. Another home run!

I do know of this list, but sometimes it's exhausting to comb through it to find awesome spreads. That's why I figured I'd start this thread and see what spreads people really love and use often. :) Thank you!

Yes, I liked the short, but to the point, spreads also. It was especially helpful when first learning. I still use this one the most because it can be used with so many different situations. I am glad that you liked it! :)

That index is HUGE! That is why I decided to go ahead and post my favorites. I think the old members forget how overwhelming it can be. Most members are just going to point you to the index, but maybe when they 'remember' they were new once also they will post some of their favorite spreads.
When you get comfortable with everything that really is a great place to look through. It is especially helpful if you know the type of spread you are looking for. It is fun to make up your own also. You will notice that sometimes the spreads don't always ask the questions that you would want to know. I find that the more specific the question the better chance of it being answered. That was hard for me at first. lol


Best of luck to you! :heart: I also have my 3 ring binder full of Tarot Spreads. :D

krystalkitty

dynamic spread

This is my favourite spread for a general spread as it gives a lot of indepth information.

deal till you get the pip card
1. wands - motivations
2. swords - stresses and conflicts
3. cups- emotions
4. pentacles- material
5. major

You keep going if you get a court card... some can be pretty lengthy but it seems to be only when you need the extra detail... you can just read the last card and have a look at the rest after..

For love...

1. will i find true love?
2. will it be instant or slow burning
3. what will they be like ( i normally draw 2 cards)
4. what will delay me
5. what could prevent me
6. when how

@Espirito: I love the 3 card spreads the most. Thank you!

@Krystalkitty: Love both of these....the love one I think would work really well in readings for others, and the general reading seems pretty cool (though I usually dislike general spreads...I like this one).

@avalonian: Love this! Simple 3 card spread that could potentially give quite a bit of information...thanks!


Wow, everyone has been posting pretty informative/fun spreads. Still open to more!
