Why Tarot Layouts Matter
A tarot spread provides a structural framework for cards to speak to one another. For beginners, simple spreads prevent overwhelm and allow card relationships to shine clearly.

2. The Past, Present, Future 3-Card Spread

5. The Two Paths Decision Spread
When choosing between Option A and Option B, pull two cards for each path to compare likely trajectories.
