What is the 5-Card Spread?

The five-card spread extends the classic past–present–future with two more cards — advice and outcome — so you get both the situation's arc and what to do about it. Versatile enough for almost any question that needs more depth than three cards but doesn't quite call for the Celtic Cross. The middle ground of tarot spreads.
