![]() ![]() A really beneficial card in this position can show a few things including that you have a strong vision of what you hope to accomplish and/or that your energy is well aligned for the goal. What You Hope to Achieve / What Are Afraid to Fail At: This card highlights what you hope to achieve and what you are afraid that you might stumble and fall in this pursuit of hope. However, I caution trying to detect events that may happen too far in the future as our timelines are malleable changing things - there are better ways to get in touch with your far future self.Ħ. If you want to stretch the divinatory reach of the Future card, add another card or more for an extended timeline. Future events highlighted are possibilities of what may come to be. Near Future: This card represents events that may occur within the next three months to one year ahead. If you want to stretch the divinatory reach of the Past card, add another card or more for an extended timeline.ĥ. Past events highlighted will relate to what you are currently going through. ![]() The Recent Past: This card represents events that have occurred typically within the past three months and usually no more than a year before. ![]() For some, this is fate and destiny and others this is revelation and the unfolding of life and memory.Ĥ. Imagine that these cards are not fixed points but floating orbs that weave in and out of who we are and what we are becoming. The next six cards are called The Constellations and represent the energies, exchanges, and insights in this area of your life - whether that’s a new endeavor, new relationship or an important transition. Spirit: This card speaks to the spiritual and emotional state of the querent including but not limited to spiritual/emotional health, the ways that they currently experience input through the spiritual/emotional perceptions, and/or what they’ve been physically feeling lately. Body: This card speaks to the physical state of the querent including but not limited to physical health, the ways that they currently experience input through their physical perceptions, and/or what they’ve been physically feeling lately.ģ. Mind: This card speaks to the mental state of the querent including but not limited to mental health, the ways that they might experience input through their mental perceptions, and/or what they’ve been thinking a lot about lately.Ģ. Look for indications of excess or overstimulated versus lacking or under-stimulated input or activity in one or more of these perception areas.ġ. Having a card each for mind, body, and spirit is not to suggest that these parts of ourselves are separate, but rather illustrate that these are different ways we have of experiencing and perceiving information. The first three cards representing The Self are relatively standard in the world of tarot and help us to get a better idea of the inner workings of the querent. While it can be used as a general spread for a reader who’s had a bit of practice, it is better suited for when you’re seeking clarity on a particular subject or area of your life. The Constellation Tarot spread was devised for those seeking clarity and insight on a particular issue especially if it is a new endeavor, new relationship, a business idea or change in direction, and other such big transitions and initiations we experience in our lives. Even better, if you find it useful, I hope that you’ll bring this style of reading (where the cards are in relationship with each other, with the querent and reader, and with the many worlds of perception) to any spread you cast. But what I’m proposing is really not complicated and just takes a few tries until it feels intuitive. ![]() For some, the following spread might feel like a complicated process, especially when compared to the more straightforward “every position is static and each card is separate and unto its own” style of reading. Hopefully it’ll serve as a good tool to practice seeing patterns everywhere - something that both herbalists and magickal folk need to practice to be of service on their paths. The following spread is my attempt to capture the feeling of a constellational web that is ever present in my practice. Tarot helps me to highlight the parts of my world that need illumination and focus so that I can understand myself through past and present experiences in order to shape and prepare for what may come. All of it forms a story that resembles a 3D web full of glittering points of light and noise and intuition. When I read tarot cards in a spread, I’m looking for the constellations and connections. My world is a web of constellations - it’s how my brain organizes information, how I absorb new input, and the type of patterning I am most drawn to. ![]()
