When it comes to throwing a few cards for myself, my spread features three cards more often than not.

It’s not so much that I’m a fan of the past/present/future or thesis/antithesis/synthesis model; rather, I feel the messages I receive from three cards are just right in terms of jostling me into action. These are the spreads I use when I’m facing a minor setback or when I need some immediate clarity into a situation I’m already familiar with. If I’m dealing with some serious shadow or an earth-shattering event, I pull out the big guns. The three card spread is my “little gun,” so to speak (note to self: find a non-“gun” analogy to use in the future), and as such, is my most popular spread to use.

The following spreads are those I’ve created for self and clients alike. Their topics are both general and specialized. If you don’t find them immediately useful, tuck them away for a rainy day–you never know when you might need them!

And here they are, in no particular order…
