A Tarot Spread for Giving Selfishly - The Simple Tarot

A Tarot Spread for Giving Selfishly

Giving to others is often seen as a selfless act, but when it is done right, it’s actually quite selfish. Giving feels good. Giving more feels better. Giving the most you can feels the best.

Please note: this advanced-level giving requires strong boundaries and a firm knowledge of yourself. If you attempt this without a solid foundation, you’ll end up trampled, used, and miserable.

This tarot spread will help you gain clarity on your own generosity so you can give from a place of security and wholeness.

Reading the Tarot Spread

For the tarot spread, shuffle the cards any way you’d like and lay out four cards in the order shown on the journal page.

CARD ONE: What resources do I need to be able to give more generously?
This card represents the resources you feel you need to be able to give more generously. Often, these will be phrased as, “I wish I could give more, but I don’t have enough…”

Yes, these are excuses!

CARD TWO: What benefits to I get by giving generously?
Use this card to identify the benefits you receive when you give generously. Consider both the internal/emotional benefits as well as the external/practical benefits. This can be seen as your WHY for giving.

CARD THREE: How do I prefer to give to others?
This card represents the ways you enjoy giving to others. This will include the types of things you prefer to give, but more importantly, it helps you identify the WAYS you like to give. For example, do you prefer to give anonymously? Do you always buy off a wishlist or registry? Do you enjoy gifting wrapped presents? How do you feel about giving gift cards? Think deeply here to identify your HOW.

CARD FOUR: What holds me back from giving to others?
This card represents the fears and excuses (see Card One!) that hold you back from being your truest, most generous self.
