This 9-card (+2) spread is designed for examination of career-change potential, including both external opportunity and internal readiness considerations. The main thrust of the reading follows the horizontal axis (Yellow), while inputs to the decision come from the vertical axis (Red = external and Blue = internal). Optional factors include the advisability of additional occupational … Continue reading The “Career Crossroads” Spread

The “Hidden Key” Advice Spread
I decided to tackle the subject of two-card readings. Because the number Two can be more about polarity and division than cooperation and resolution (depending on whether the "pendulum" in a situation is swinging in or out), two-card spreads can seem static, especially if the cards are of similar rank, number and element. I created … Continue reading The “Hidden Key” Advice Spread
The “All Points” Travel Advisory Spread
Whenever I take a long trip, whether by road or by air, I like to do a tarot reading to look at the nature of the upcoming journey and any issues or obstacles that may arise. The typical 5-card line works well enough for this, but I figured a spread that is aimed more specifically … Continue reading The “All Points” Travel Advisory Spread
The “Us and Them” Relationship Spread
This spread brings together the simple three-card "you + me = us" relationship spread with the idea that external relationships on either side can have a major say in how the affected partner behaves . The outside influences can be anyone from a relative to a mentor, boss, friend or third-party love interest. This is … Continue reading The “Us and Them” Relationship Spread
A Twist on the Romany Spread
This seven-fold personality development spread is a melding of the traditional 7x3 Romany "past/present/future" layout with the qualities of the seven traditional planets of astrology - a perfect match in my humble opinion. It can be read either as an overall personality profile within a single time-frame, or as individual traits across across all three. … Continue reading A Twist on the Romany Spread
The “Parsifal’s Gambit” Life-Reading Spread
This is one of the largest spreads I've ever created, and implements the Tree of Life model previously posted here: https://parsifalswheeldivination.wordpress.com/2017/08/11/the-tree-in-the-oval/ There is no fixed limit for the effective duration of this spread. It could in fact be treated like an astrological birth-chart and viewed as a blueprint for development of the personality to full … Continue reading The “Parsifal’s Gambit” Life-Reading Spread
The “Converging Lives” Probability Spread
One question that's frequently asked is "Does my ex want to get back together with me?" I didn't have a single spread that was great for looking at reconciliation potential so I created this one. However, it addresses the entire span of an up-and-down relationship: Round #1 (Attraction/Convergence/Connection) shows the first time through and is … Continue reading The “Converging Lives” Probability Spread
The “Palace of Joys and Sorrows” Conditional Awareness Spread
Here is another spread that uses a three-part separation of the deck into trumps-only, court-only and minors-only sub-packs, each with a different focus in the reading. It's built on the idea of a "best-case/steady-state/worst-case" scenario in each of three areas - Central Issue or Conflict, Key Player or Quality, and Functional Status of the situation … Continue reading The “Palace of Joys and Sorrows” Conditional Awareness Spread
The “Who Goes There?” Personal Outreach Spread
This is an unusual spread aimed at zeroing in on the kind of person the querent needs to reach out to in his or her particular situation. It could be a lover, a mentor or an electrician depending on the circumstances. It uses two decks, one to lay out all 16 court cards in a … Continue reading The “Who Goes There?” Personal Outreach Spread

The Aces of Wands (Doing), Cups (Feeling), Swords (Thinking) and Pentacles (Being) are placed in advance at the head of their elemental columns as the "root" energy for that particular manifestation.
