Often, these guidebooks include a handful of carefully crafted spreads, layouts that the author believes best unlock the energy of their specific cards. You’ll find everything from simple three-card layouts to elaborate soul-mapping spreads, each offering a gateway into deeper insight and connection. These sample spreads are wonderful places to begin your journey with Tarot and Oracle cards, especially if you’re just learning how to listen to the language of symbols and spirit.

There Are No Fixed Rules With Tarot and Oracle Cards

But here’s the beautiful truth: with Tarot and Oracle cards, there are no fixed rules. The cards were born of structure, yes—but they thrive in the realm of intuition. You are encouraged to explore freely, to mix and match spreads from different systems, or even to follow your own internal compass and create spreads entirely your own. One day you may pull a single card in quiet reflection. Another day, you might lay out five in a circle, asking for guidance from each direction of the wind.

Tarot’s Major Arcana

In any layout of tarot cards, when a major arcana card shows up, please take note of its position and what it implies. This is something significant in your querents life. For example, if the magician card shows up as the person you’re reading for, it could mean they are clever, versatile, and adaptable. So, in the situation they find themselves in, they should be able to navigate it easily. If the Hermit card shows up as them, they need time to think about things before deciding. It can also mean that they may overthink and miss valuable opportunities. It all depends on the impressions you receive from the surrounding cards.
