← All tarot spreads

When you are choosing between paths or want to reach a goal.


In detail

Decision Spread

7 cards · medium

«What happens if I choose A – and what if I choose B?»

  1. 7What your choice is really about at its core.
  2. 3·1·5Path A: how it begins, how it continues, where it leads.
  3. 4·2·6Path B (or: letting go of A) – beginning, course, destination.

Begin with position 7, then read path A and path B, each from left to right. The last cards (5 and 6) show the longer view and carry the most weight. Signal cards give a clear recommendation for their path: The Lovers (your heart has already chosen), Wheel of Fortune (this path calls you first), The Star (the path of your future), Judgement (the deepest experience awaits here) and The World (that is where you belong – the strongest of all).

Compass

4 cards · medium

«What are the prospects on my paths A, B, C …?»

  1. 1What it’s fundamentally about.
  2. 2What comes first.
  3. 3How others respond.
  4. 4What it all leads to.

For several options, card 1 stays in the center, and for each path you draw three new cards (2, 3, 4) – like the rays of a compass rose. Sum up each ray on its own; position 4 is its keynote.

Path Spread

7 cards · medium

«What can I do to reach my goal?»

  1. 1What is within reach – your chances.
  2. 2·3·4Your path so far: what you have thought, felt and shown to the outside world.
  3. 7·6·5Your path from now on: which attitude, which feeling and which actions will bring you to your goal.

First look at position 1: How good is the chance? Then compare the two pillars level by level – 2 with 7, 3 with 6, 4 with 5. Position 6 usually shows most clearly what is ready to change.

Game Plan

5 cards · easy

«How do I reach my goal?»

  1. 1This is what it’s about – a first hint.
  2. 2What drives you from within.
  3. 3Echo from outside: encouragement or objections.
  4. 4What saves you energy – a path you can skip.
  5. 5This is how it can work – the good advice.

Begin in the middle. Position 2 shows the attitude you travel with, position 3 the echo of the people around you. Positions 4 and 5 belong together: the detour and the way.
