Best Tarot Spreads for Beginners
Five spreads, one for every kind of question a beginner is likely to ask.
January 17, 2025 6 minBy Devika & the Mystic Wisdom team
1. The single card
Best for: focused, specific questions. Draw one card and read it directly against your question.
2. Past · Present · Future
Three cards in a row. Best for: understanding how a situation has moved over time.
3. Situation · Action · Outcome
Three cards. Best for: decisions. The first names where you are, the second what to do, the third what to expect from that action.
4. Mind · Body · Spirit
Three cards. Best for: checking in with yourself when nothing specific is wrong but something is off.
5. The Celtic Cross
Ten cards. Best for: complex situations with many forces at play. Worth learning, but not your first spread.
