A Tarot spread is a way of laying out the cards to answer a question or explore a specific topic. Each spread has a different number of cards and a unique structure, designed to offer a particular perspective.
Example:
Purpose: A Tarot spread helps organize the messages from the cards, but it doesn’t limit the kinds of questions you can ask.
A question is what you want the Tarot to answer or help you explore. You can ask about anything — love, career, or life in general.
Example:
Free Choice: Your question doesn’t have to match the spread’s category. You can ask about career even if you’re using a Love spread.
Flexible Perspective: In Tarot, each card carries multiple meanings and can be interpreted in different ways. That’s why you can choose any spread and ask any question — the system will adapt the card interpretations to match your inquiry.
Example:
If you choose the Classic 3-Card Spread (typically used for Love) but ask 'Should I change jobs?' (Career Development), the cards will be interpreted through the lens of your career.
