During
a tarot reading, the tarot
cards are laid out in various spreads to explore problems
and questions in different ways.
The tarot
cards are first shuffled while asking a specific question
that an answer is sought for. The cards are then laid out
in one of a number of different layouts or tarot spreads.
The Tarot Reader then
interprets the cards for the question asked.
The most
popular spread is the Celtic Cross - usually 10 cards
laid out in the following positions. This
is one of the most frequently used tarot spreads as it gives
an in depth exploration of a problem or a particular aspect
of your life, such as career, relationships etc.

The simplest
tarot spread of all is just one card. It can be used as an affirmation,
or as a tool for learning (and a good way to get to know a new
tarot deck - one card at a time). It can also provide a simple
answer to a straighforward question.
