THE 5 CARD YES/NO SPREAD
This is a very cool spread that gives you a bit more information than a
straight yes or no.
The premise is that major arcana and even numbers are a yes. Odd
numbers and court cards are a no. You draw 5 cards which means that
there won’t be a draw.
It’s rare that you will get 5 straight yes or no but if you do then it’s a
definite. If you get 3/2 I would class this as a yes/no but more in the
maybe category.
When you have your decision I would look at the cards and see if you can
get an interpretation from them.

WHEEL OF FORTUNE YES/NO SPREAD
1.Pull out the Wheel of Fortune from the deck and lay it face up in front of you
2 .Shuffle the rest of the deck thinking about your question
3. Pick out 7 cards and lay them on top of the Wheel of Fortune
5. Turn over the Wheel of Fortune so all the cards are facing the same way
6. Shuffle the 8 cards so you no longer know where the Wheel of Fortune is
7. Lay out the cards as follows starting in the yes position dealing clockwise8.
The positioning of the Wheel of Fortune gives you our answer – Yes, Soon, Delay, No
SO

The card next to the Wheel of Fortune is of particular interest but you
should also look at all of the cards to get an overall feeling for the reading.
I don’t use reversals for this reading. If you get a No or Delay you can
look at the cards around to see what the obstacles are and what you need
to do to change that outcome.
If you get a lot of court cards this could indicate that other people will
play a part in the outcome. If there are a lot of major arcana cards this
will tell you that karma is in play.

ANCESTRAL HEALING
WHAT IS ANCESTRAL TRAUMA?
Ancestral trauma is passed down through DNA. These are
hereditary traits that are passed down to us and play a role in our
epigenetics. This means that what we experience in our lives
either through things like diet, medicine, chemical exposure, and
even social interactions can actually turn off or on certain gene
expressions. When we face similar trials in our life as our
ancestors we continue to pass along those DNA sequences… until
finally, we reach an individual who heals their trauma and
changes the physical structure of their DNA.
OBSERVATIONS
1. An important relationship I have with my ancestral lineage.
2. How this relationship affects my life
3. What I can do to heal my ancestral lineage.
4. What this healing will look like.

CHAKRA SPREAD
Chakras are spheres of energy. Our bodies have many 7
chakras; however, when people speak of chakras, they
are usually referring to what are considered the seven
major chakras. Each one of these main chakras is
associated with a color and with various areas of our 6
lives, including physical, psychological, and spiritual.
Each chakra governs many facets, just as any aspect of
astrology or any tarot card can have multiple meanings.
This spread focuses on one set of facets. However, if you
are familiar with chakras and prefer to focus on other 5
facets, use those instead.Ideally, energy should move
freely up and down your chakras, so the equally spaced
line of cards is a good design choice here. When
interpreting this spread,look for a block in the flow of
energy. 4
1, SELF-PRESERVATION (ROOT CHAKRA): Your survival instincts and how you
seek health, prosperity, and security.
2, SELF-GRATIFICATION (SACRAL CHAKRA): How you connect to others through
feeling, desire, sensation, and movement.
3, SELF-DEFINITION (SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA): How you express personal power,
will, autonomy, energy, and spontaneity.
4, SELF-ACCEPTANCE (HEART CHAKRA): Your ability to love deeply, feel
3
compassion, and experience peace and centeredness.
5, SELF-EXPRESSION (THROAT CHAKRA): How you communicate with others and
express yourself creatively in the world.
6, SELF-REFLECTION (BROW OR THIRD EYE CHAKRA): How you see the world,
both physically and intuitively; your ability to see the big picture.
7, SELF-KNOWLEDGE (CROWN CHAKRA): Your ability to know and understand
yourself; your wisdom and spiritual connection. 2

HEART VS. HEAD
What do you do when you are torn between your head and your
heart? Try this spread to explore the motivations of both head and
heart. In addition to providing an understanding of both parts of
yourself, it creates a series of bridges that will encourage
compromise between the two, showing perhaps that their concerns
or agendas are not so very different
after all
1–3, HEART: These are the reasons of your heart,
intuition, or gut—any of your non-rational ways of knowing.
4–6, HEAD: These are the reasons of your head, rational mind,
or logic—any of your quantifiable ways of knowing.
7–9, BRIDGE: These are clues that help you bridge the
gap between heart and head or learn
which to rely on in this case.

TAROT FOR TWO SPREAD
This spread shakes things up a bit. It is designed to be read by or
for a couple. It is even more interesting if a different deck is used
for each partner, which means that the same cards can come up on
both sides of the reading. If two decks are used, then draw two
cards for position 1, one from each deck.
1: The state of the relationship

easy to compare your
feelings and experiences. Don’t forget,
though, to read each person’s
line of cards together as well. Comparing two
cards yields plenty of
information, but reading, for example, cards 2,
4, and 6 together will
give a more nuanced picture of person A’s
4 5 experience. Cards 8 and 9 are
meant as advice for person A, while cards 10
and 11 are for person B.

very open and honest about

8 9 10 11 them as advice

WILL HE COME BACK?
Many people seek out tarot readers when they are heartbroken or
in crisis. Often their primary romantic relationship has ended.
Because they are still in the midst of raw pain and cannot imagine
their future without their partner just yet, they often want to
know “Will he (or she) come back?” A simple yes/no spread would
answer this, or even a pendulum (which many readers use in these
cases). However, this spread gives a little more. It will answer the
question, but it will give the querent information that they can
use as they move forward, no matter what the

current way of thinking. This spread helps clarify the calling and
