To test the spread I posted yesterday, here is my weekly forecast for the seven-day period beginning June 1, 2020. I used the RWS Centennial pocket edition, with reversals. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT Monday and Sunday look like days of opportunity in practical (Ace of Pentacles) and intellectual (Ace of … Continue reading A “Good Days/Bad Days” Weekly Forecast Example Reading

The “Good Days/Bad Days” Mixed-Media Weekly Forecast Spread
When I run out of metaphysical grist for my editorial mill I turn to spread creation. Here is another of my "mixed-media" layouts that uses dice and cards. The idea is to craft a seven-day weekly forecast out of fourteen face-down cards by using the even or odd number of face-up spots in a single … Continue reading The “Good Days/Bad Days” Mixed-Media Weekly Forecast Spread
Lunar Month Look-ahead for May-June, 2020
Here is my monthly lunar forecast for May-June of 2020. This spread is designed around astrologer Dane Rudhyar’s eight-phase “lunation cycle,” during which each sub-phase lasts approximately 3.5 days. I used the Moon Phase Calendar website to easily identify the approximate dates of the phase changes. I always use reversals with this spread. The deck … Continue reading Lunar Month Look-ahead for May-June, 2020
The “Tree of Life or Strife” Mixed-Destiny Spread
In contemplating ways to bring the Qliphoth or "shells" to bear on the standard Tree of Life spread, I came up with the following 10-card "light-and-shadow" variation. It is read in two parts, first as two sub-sets according to the Qabalistic number series, and then as an "as-drawn" 10-card line with two subdivisions ("above" and … Continue reading The “Tree of Life or Strife” Mixed-Destiny Spread
“Reopening America” – A Lenormand Tableau Reading
I used my new 24-card Lenormand tableau (the "Lenormand Lozenge," posted earlier) to ask what the consequences would be of reopening business and recreational venues on a nationwide basis in the United States in the near future. This is the Old Style Lenormand deck. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT The essence … Continue reading “Reopening America” – A Lenormand Tableau Reading
A “Lenormand Lozenge” Example Reading
I performed this example reading for my "Lenormand Lozenge" 24-card tableau. This is the Blue Owl Lenromand. My question was "What are the implications, complications and risks of staying on my current path?" All images © Konigsfurt-Urania "Ground Zero" in this spread lies on the "Awareness Horizon" between the four "A" alphanumeric cards; here they … Continue reading A “Lenormand Lozenge” Example Reading
The “Lenormand Lozenge” 24-Card Tableau
UPDATE: In working with this spread, I realized a couple of things. First, reading the series of cards in the two outer "diamonds" is best done in a counter-clockwise fashion from the "B1" and "C1" positions so the sequences end up on the developmental (or "future") side of the layout to agree with how the … Continue reading The “Lenormand Lozenge” 24-Card Tableau
Lunar Month Look-Ahead for March-April 2020
On every New Moon I try to remember to do my Lunar Month Look-Ahead spread for the upcoming 28-day period, and the March New Moon occurred today, March 24. With what has been going on in the world, it seemed like an especially good month to do one. This time I brought out the Anna … Continue reading Lunar Month Look-Ahead for March-April 2020
A 2020 Spring Equinox Quarterly Outlook
I performed my Quarterly Outlook spread for the first quarter of the zodiacal year beginning March 20, 2020. I used the Waite-Smith Centennial Pocket Edition with reversals for this reading. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT This 3-month layout displays two different developmental arcs that are, at least on the surface, out-of-sync … Continue reading A 2020 Spring Equinox Quarterly Outlook
A “Diurnal Footprint” Example Reading
UPDATE: Turns out I was barking up the wrong site. Later that day I joined the Tarot Study Group (Facebook page) and found what I was looking for. They are an agreeable bunch (Lovers), they keep me hopping (Magician) and I feel like something of an "elder statesman" there (Hierophant). Original Post: I decided to … Continue reading A “Diurnal Footprint” Example Reading
