Since studying tarot cards (it's been at least a few months), I've tried unsuccessfully to find a spread or make up a spread that has helped me pinpoint the bad luck/energy that seems to surround my husband and I. It's a bit strange to explain (and many of my friends give me the raised eyebrow), but the two of us seem to be plagued with bad luck. Our relationship is fine- in fact our relationship seems to be the only thing untouched by this bad energy. We have a high rate of unusually bad luck in just about everything else (and it's been going on for years, even before we got married). We always pull through whatever troubles we run in to, but I was wondering if there was a way in which I could use the cards to help me find the source of all this craziness or lead me in a good direction? I'm sure some of your reading this now are raising your eyebrows!

A book that you may want to check out is ''Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting!'' by Lynn Grabhorn. She talks a lot about energy and creating your good fortune. Interesting read.

Sometimes it's all just circumstantial that just seems to be a run (every time something happens it seems to justify that, but one hardly looks for the good things and counts those as strongly). Sometimes it does happen. Getting out of it is all attitude - what you're willing to focus on as the better thing to think of. You'd likely get more out of a reading that covers things on refocusing or on actions rather than readings that try to answer 'what causes this, why does this happen'. It's proactive rather than reactive. I'd pick spread layouts that use: Where can I shift things to benefit me more What caution do I need to take this week What do I need to watch for What's most likely to help me out today Where should I be paying attention What action needs to be focused on to help smooth things out for me/us All those help change the environment rather than looking for causes. Causes can be multi-level and mostly out of your control, but your actions are always in your control and can be a definite shift to help switch things around. I know what you mean about runs of luck, my sig. other was an RH factor baby, the first to be put through a new technique at a major hospital inthe mid-50's, he was also hit by cars twice while riding bikes, fell out of a second story window, fell out of a moving car when the door opened unexpectedly, fell off an electrical tower, was hit by lightning while on his bike, nearly froze to death, was almost swept off a Navy ship with 5 others while bringing in a jet off the storage area in a typhoon, caught in the middle of a race riot, attacked by 3 guys high on heroin (that put him in the hospital), attacked in an 'empty' office building he was working in, poisoned by a chemical that was not supposed to be in his work area, etc. yet he made it through all of those. His 'run of luck' actually allowed him to survive them all.
