How to lay it out

  • Shuffle while thinking of your question; cut the deck if you like.
  • Lay 5 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

Turn card 5 into an affirmation you can repeat this week.

Tip

Pair with a rose quartz if you like crystal tradition.

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.
