When we come across trying times and want a little guidance, tarot is a practice that we can turn to. It helps us overcome our difficulties in times where the foundations of our world seem to be collapsing. We grow through our experiences, and there is a comfort in knowing that our higher or subconscious selves are always speaking to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarot can cast light upon the difficult events that we go through, whether they occur around us in the wider world, or our individual lives. There are many varieties of spreads in tarot that can be used to guide the querent and to provide guidance for such events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any tarot spread can be suitably used for seeking guidance upon a situation. The most ideal spreads include card positions that provide insight on advice on the actions to take next, where to seek help, and how the problem can be overcome. The ideal spread can be reused and adapted for any tough situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you find yourself struggling with self-doubt or a murky mindset, then the following suggestions for spreads can help you move forward. Remember that any of these spreads can be customized to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we move onto discussing different spreads that you can use for guidance, I wanted to point to the end of this article.  Once you have finished reviewing these ideas, I have a list of related articles at the end of this page that you can reference to get more ideas about spreads for guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic 3-Card Tarot Spread for Guidance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many variations are possible for a three-card spread in tarot. Biddy Tarot offers a \u2018Quick Tarot Spreads\u2019 card that comes with their Everyday Tarot deck, and some of the basic three-card spreads on the card are extremely universal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can be used in any situation and, most importantly, can be adapted to a personal situation. Here is an example of a spread:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situation \u2013 Problem \u2013 Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice the \u2018Problem\u2019 card position, which identifies the aspect of the situation that needs to be addressed. The \u2018Action\u2019 card position then provides a clear path forward, suggesting what the querent can do next to resolve this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As examples, the Major Arcana card Hanged Man can be in the Action position. The presence of this card suggests that what the querent needs to do is to take a step back and reassess the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about it before any further action is taken. (read more about the hanged man card in these articles\u2026 \u201cIs the Hanged Man a bad card?<\/a>\u201d \u00a0& \u201cWhat does the Hanged Man reversed mean?<\/a>\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, another card, The Fool<\/a>, may invite the querent to step outside of their comfort zones to address this problem. Playing safe and withdrawing probably won\u2019t help in this situation. (read about the fool<\/a>s journey here, \u201chow to use the Major Arcana tarot cards.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best kind of guidance that can be gained from three-card readings is general guidance. Due to its simpleness, conciseness, and sheer adaptability, the three-card reading is for when you need a short and quick tarot session to answer, negate, or confirm any thoughts that you might have settled on already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a variation on the three-card spread:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obstacles \u2013 What to address \u2013 How to move forward<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obstacles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

People, energies, situations, or things that are blocking us from acquiring that focus. This can refer to either internal or external blockages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\/what to address and release<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This position lets us know of what exactly to release from our minds, our actions, or our surroundings. Whereas the limiting blockages have been identified in the first position, this second position alerts us to the blockages that are within our power to address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It informs us of how to release an internal limiting mindset, or how to best address the situation if we are affected by external influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to move forward<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there certain responsibilities that need to be accepted? Or is it the lifting of boundaries and the discarding of excess responsibility the way to move forward? This position provides the guidance that supports us in making difficult decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any flexible and broad three-card tarot spread that shows the querent the way forward can be classified as one that offers guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple Card Spreads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Say that you\u2019re completely in the dark about a situation. Maybe you\u2019ve gone around your head in loops to try and figure out what you can do next. A three-card spread may just not be enough to delve into the specifics of a situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common larger spread is the Celtic Cross spread. As with many multiple card spreads, these types of spreads concentrate on one particular aspect or question. The more specific and in-depth the question is, then the more helpful the tarot can be.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illustrated below is what a typical multiple card spread could look like. If you feel as if you need more guidance on a particular card position, then breaking that position down into two more specific topics, or even adding your own position, is advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Six<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The core of the problem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helps to identify the heart of the problem. Sometimes, the real root of the problem surfaces in many different resulting difficulties. It is best to understand where the origin of these difficulties may lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hidden aspects\/truths<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This position reveals the aspects of the situation that we haven\u2019t taken the time to see clearly. Perhaps the querent has not listened to their intuition or is trying to avoid something that must be addressed so that the steps towards resolution can be advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can be learned<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why has this situation been brought to your attention? Everything enters our lives with a certain purpose. If it is a life lesson, then the problem will continuously show itself until we realize that we have to learn from the situation. Is it perhaps a lesson that has come up in the past before?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where support can be found<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for cards that signify either an inner strength or help from an outside source. The Strength card is a definite card that indicates the querent has all the power that they need within themselves; they simply need to draw from it. However, the Justice card appearing in this position will suggest divine assistance playing in your favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advice\/Steps to take:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the situation can be approached. Pay attention to certain suits and court cards, and whether the card in this position is Major or Minor Arcana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Knight appearing in this position can highlight that fast-paced action is needed, whereas the King of Cups may indicate that your emotions need to be managed and controlled before any action is taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final outcome<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This usually refers to the outcome of the situation if the querent continues with their current energy. If you do not like the outcome, then it can be altered through your actions, with the help of the Advice card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
