One of the most common reasons people are drawn to the tarot is a desire to understand, strengthen, and trust their intuition. This inner voice represents the wisdom of our subconscious and deep connection we have with the Universe, our higher power, and each other.
This tarot spread will help you learn the ways that your inner voice speaks to you and then let you practice using that inner voice in a tarot reading.
Reading the Tarot Spread
For the tarot spread, shuffle the cards any way you’d like and lay out six cards in the order shown in the image above. The first three cards will be laid face-up and the bottom three cards will be laid face-down.
CARD ONE: How does my conscious mind communicate with me?
This card represents the fears and beliefs you have about being seen, heard, and visible. What are you afraid of? Who or what might hurt you?
CARD TWO: How does my subconscious mind communicate with me?
This card represents the pain and problems you will face if you continue hiding your true self.
CARD THREE: When it comes to communication, what does my inner voice or higher self want me to know and understand?
This card represents the benefits you receive from hiding. Common benefits include safety and not having to confront failures. Use this card to expand on the other benefits you receive.
Once you feel comfortable with the three answers above, answer the following question:
“What is the ONE most important desire or goal I have right now?”
Once you have answered that question, turn over the bottom cards and continue the tarot reading.
CARD FOUR (face down): What are my options related to this desire or goal?
This card represents the strength, gifts, and benefits you’ll receive if you speak out, become visible, publish, share, and let your true self be seen.
CARD FIVE (face down): What is my motivation for this desire or goal?
This card represents the strength, gifts, and benefits you’ll receive if you speak out, become visible, publish, share, and let your true self be seen.
CARD SIX (face down): What do I need to focus on right now?
This card represents the strength, gifts, and benefits you’ll receive if you speak out, become visible, publish, share, and let your true self be seen.
Once you have answered the final three questions, use the information you gathered from the first three questions to fine-tune your answers. Can you identify more options, motivations, or focus areas using your subconscious mind, inner voice, intuition, and higher self?
