Thought I would share this spread that his been super helpful for me and for others that I read for! Hope it has good results for anyone who decides to utilize it!
If any of you are like me, you have plenty of work to do, but can’t seem to start it. You tell yourself, I just need my coffee, I just need to check tumblr, I just need to do x,y,z and then I can start being productive.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at my cards and, unable to resist the temptation, told myself I’ll start once I finish this tarot spread.
Well, I finally decided to make a spread for these occasions because if there’s anyone or anything that can call me on my shit, it’s my tarot deck.
Hope this helps those of you are scrolling through tumblr instead of whatever you’re supposed to be doing.
And if you’re like me and deal with executive dysfunction, I hope this helps stimulate enough to get the momentum going.
I started a new job this month, and naturally, I was anxious to see what was in store! I created this spread to hopefully find some answers, and I think it was pretty spot on so far!
I decided to just go ahead and put the spread out as it is now. I like it and I think it works. But because this is literally my first draft of the spread, any feedback would be even more appreciated than usual!
Card One is where you were before the slump.
Card Two is what caused the slump or allowed it to happen.
Card Three is where you’re at now.
So, before we move on to the next cards, I want to explain this progression. I think it’s important, especially in these situations, to sort of check in on where you’re actually at and where you were before. Comparing the situations and seeing how you got to where you’re at is important, because it helps you understand what happened, and that’s how you make a plan to get out.
Card Four is what keeps you down – this is why you haven’t moved on and why you feel like you’re in the slump to begin with. Think of it as your obstacle – this is what you’re up against.
Card Five is your first step out of the slump. Something I really focus on a lot in these situations is “Well what do I do NEXT? What do I do now??” This is your answer to that question.
Card Six is what I call the signs on the path. It’s what keeps you moving forward and what stops you from sliding back down into the slump.
Card Seven is where you’re headed. One of the keys to pulling yourself out of the slump and continuing onward is knowing what you’re actually working toward. It’s easy to lose your sense of direction down there – this is your North Star.
If you’re like me, you want to learn everything and have all skills and try to pursue all things at once. I made this spread to help focus in on just one skill or trait to develop at a time. The idea is that when you have a baby plant, it requires more care and attention to survive and grows very quickly when it is well cared for. Once it’s fairly strong, then it’s time to let it grow at its own steady pace along with all the other things you’re working on and move on to the next until your garden of skills is happily and peacefully growing.
1. What skill/trait should you focus on? This is your seedling.
2. How should you approach this? Do I plant from seed? Do I take a cutting and propagate? Is there a class I can take? Should I make a schedule and work on this for ten minutes a day? Is it a more passive trait that I need to work on through metacognition all day?
3. What do you need to set yourself up for success? Plants need to be set up in the right conditions to thrive. They need to be placed where they get the right amount of sunlight and the right humidity. They need the right soil. What conditions do you need to set for yourself to thrive?
4. What is the outcome/what will this help you reach? I won’t call this the “end result” because your vine should keep growing and reach further and further. What does this skill/trait help you reach if you nurture it?
this is a rune / tarot spread i designed based on the tree of yggdrasil. it’s not truly known where each of the nine realms lies on the branches, but this is my personal idea of the world tree. i hope you enjoy using it as much as i have!
please don’t repost or claim as your own – i worked hard on this
may the bridges I burn light the way
