That being said, if you follow my Instagram you will have seen my weekly readings. I do not usually explain the reading on IG. I am planning on doing that here.
Elements of Life Spread from the Biddy Tarot Website. I am really liking this spread because it is not so question-based. It is nice to have a spread that just points you in a direction to assist you. I have not used this spread in a "client" reading yet. I have been mixing the layout with another Elements spread. So my layout is a bit different. I had tried to layout per the watchtower layout but it seems my dyslexia has thwarted that as well. But my cards know my intent so I will update my spread to the proper alignment starting this weekend.
I do use the elemental descriptions from the Biddy Tarot spread.
SPIRIT: Representing your core self, truth, beliefs, or messages from the universe
AIR: Representing mindset, thought patterns, clarity on what you most need to know right now
EARTH: Representing finances, abundance, work, and home, and external influences
WATER: Representing relationships, emotional state, communication, lunar influence
FIRE: Representing passion, physical movement, and actions, outcomes, manifestations
Reading:
Spirit: Knight of Spears-Bedivere - travel, a change of residence, or risking unconventional ideas.
Air: The Tower (R) -Vortigern's Fortress - A stale and oppressive lifestyle. Mounting pressure. Feat of the unknown hinders beneficial change.
Earth: Page of Swords (R) - The Adder - An elusive opponent. A stealthy troublemaker. A turncoat.
Water: 3 of Swords - Palomides - Distress. Grieving. Separation. Being haunted by the pain of the past. A difficult period of readjustment. Hurtful remarks of others.
Fire: 2 of Shields - Castle Pendragon - Encountering difficulties that press for a re-evaluation of plans. Contending with fluctuating fortune. Retaining a sense of humor when faced with mishaps. Employing creative maneuvers to avoid troubled waters.
It is true that my life has been shifting all over the place recently. I am in a constant state of flux. According to the cards that state is starting to wear me down. I see that the most in the Tower card in my mindset (Air), in having to constantly readjust my expectations over and over. The 3 of Swords in my emotional state (Water) seems a bit harsh to me but yes this time of yearly oddly for me is very depressing. I am not even going to elaborate on the damn Adder (Earth) but yes. I love the 2 of Shields, it is like a silver lining to all this (Fire). This is the card of flexibility, going with the flow and smiling all the way. I may be having a rough time with so much right now but I am thinking outside of the box to keep it from dragging me down too far.
