Five Card Spread This spread is similar to the Three Card Spread but it gives a little more insight in a question. Card 1: Past: This Past card represents influences leading up to the present situation. Card 2: Present: This Present card reflects your current thoughts, feelings, and actions in the matter. Card 3: Hidden Influences: This card points to aspects of the question you have overlooked or which are operating out of your awareness. Card 4: Advice: This card often offers a practical suggestion about how to proceed with your question. Card 5: Likely Outcome: This card suggests the probable outcome of following the advice of the spread. **The Querent is always free t make his or her own decisions, which may alter the future course of events. An outcome in a Tarot reading is simply a likely course of events suggested by the forces in effect at the time of the spread** Spread positions below 1 2 3 4 5 Desert Saille/|\ |
