Tarot Spreads: The Planetary Spread, for Insights into a Personality


The Planetary Spread is an excellent layout to use when you want insight into a personality.

You will lay out eleven cards in a circle, and read each card individually. Start with the first card in the center of the circle, then lay out the next eight in a circle starting with the NW position in a standard compass rose, and proceeding clockwise to N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, and W. Place the tenth card beside the first card, and the eleventh card crosswise on top of them both.
