How to lay it out
- Shuffle while thinking of your question; cut the deck if you like.
- Lay 7 cards face down in order, then turn them over one at a time.
- Note any reversed cards; some readers use reversals, others turn every card upright.
- Read each position, then the spread as a whole.
How to read it
Look for blocked areas (reversed or challenging cards) and balanced ones. This is a spiritual reflection, not a health assessment.
Tip
Place a matching chakra stone beside each card if you have a set.
Remember
Tarot is a tool for reflection. It can help you think a question through, but it does not decide your future, and it is not a substitute for professional advice on health, legal or money matters.
