A Four Card Reading

Guidance Tarot Spread

A four-card spread for when you need direction but aren't sure exactly what to ask. The cards reveal where you currently stand, the question beneath your question, the wisdom available to you right now, and the next right step. Especially useful when life feels foggy and you want a single, clear thread to follow.

What is the Guidance Spread?

The guidance spread is a four-card reading for moments when you need direction but aren't quite sure what to ask. The first two cards reframe the question itself — surfacing what's actually being asked underneath your stated concern — then the cards counsel and offer a path forward. Best used when something feels off but you can't yet name it.
