Tarot is there to guide us in all aspects of life. It provides us with the space to reflect, receive messages, and figure out what we need to do in order to be happy and fulfilled. However, it can be difficult to know exactly what to ask the cards.
This guidance Tarot spread looks at different aspects of your life, providing you with the space to check in on where you are. It reveals anything that needs attention, giving you guidance and advice.
Free Guidance Tarot Spread
If you’d like help, I can do a free Tarot reading on your behalf within an hour. Not just a couple of cards and their meanings but an actual spread to give you some insight into your your next steps and what it can unlock for you.
How To Perform a Guidance Tarot Spread
This is a really general Tarot spread, but it is important to do a spread like this every month or so. By checking in with yourself and all the different aspects of your life, you are allowing Tarot to help you get everything you need from the universe.
Go into this spread with an open mind. Take a moment to clear your mind before doing this spread, letting go of any worries and concerns. Then, shuffle the deck and draw six cards.
Card One: Spiritual Guidance
The first card pulled reflects any spiritual guidance the Tarot has for you right now. Spirituality is extremely important for us in order to live a fulfilling life, and this card will reveal to you if you need to put more effort into your spirituality. It may also show you areas of spirituality that are useful for you to explore.
Card Two: Emotional Guidance
The second card pulled in this guidance Tarot spread reflects your emotional health. Many of us forget about our emotional health, putting work and family life before it. However, like physical health and spirituality, our emotional and mental health is extremely important.
This card will reflect what guidance you need regarding your emotional health. It will show you what you can do to eliminate stress and anxiety.
Card Three: Relationship Guidance
The third card reveals any advice the universe has for you regarding your relationships. It will reflect your current love life and anything you might need to do to move forward with your relationship.
Whether you are single or have a partner, take time to reflect on the meaning of the card and what advice the universe has for you.
Watch out for Suit of Cups cards in this position, as these signify big things regarding relationships and love.
Card Four: Home and Family Guidance
The fourth card in this spread represents your home and family life. It will reveal any guidance the universe has for you regarding this aspect of your life and what you may need to do in order to support your loved ones.
When wanting to understand this card, it is useful to reflect on your meaning of ‘home.’ It will represent whatever home is for you, whether it be friends, family, or a group or organization.
Card Five: Health Guidance
The fifth card represents guidance regarding your health. It will show you areas of your health that you may have been neglecting and provide you with advice on how to better look after yourself.
Card Six: Money and Career Guidance
The final card in this guidance Tarot spread reflects where you are at regarding your money and career. If you are feeling confused or bored with your work, this card will provide you with the advice you need to gain clarity over your career.
Watch out for Suit of Pentacles cards in this position, as this means the universe has a big message regarding work and money for you!
Three Card Tarot Spread for Guidance
The three-card reading is also an option if you want a quick and simple spread. This gives an accurate answer, but I’ll leave it to you to decide how deep you want to go on your journey and how much guidance you’re seeking.
You can extend this reading to four cards with an additional qualifying card, but if it isn’t painting a clear path for you, I’d suggest taking the time with the complete spread.
Asking the Tarot: What Should I Focus on Right Now?
The guidance Tarot spread above examines all the different aspects of your life. However, you may wish to ask the Tarot: what should I focus on right now?
Shuffle the deck, ask the question, and draw a card. Take time to reflect on this card and how you connect to it. If it is a card in the Suit of Pentacles, we can see that work should be your main focus. Similarly, a card in the Suit of Cups suggests that love, friendship, and emotions should be your focus.
If you need to, draw one or two more cards to clarify what the Tarot is telling you.
