how to dance the astrology spread twist

lunalafey

Lucille has humbly submitted herself to doing a walk through of the steps to this spread.

No two spreads will be done the same- for the way the cards are layed out and read are based on the time frame being read for and when the reading is physically being done. It also involves the astrological speifics of the individual who the reading is for.

Lucille will be using the Quest tarot.
She has supplied her Sun and rising signs- Aries and Pisces.
Currently the Sun is in Pisces-

~~~~~~~10~~~~~~~
~~~~11~~~~~9~~~~
~~12~~~~~~~~~8~~
~1~~~~~~~~~~~~7~
~~2~~~~~~~~~~6~~
~~~~~3~~~~~5~~~~
~~~~~~~~4~~~~~~~

Pisces position is #12- because the Sun is in Pisces, this is the first card to be placed in the spread.
Lucille will shuffle and then place the cards in this order-
12-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11

we will first look at the year- month by month
the card we will look at first is #1- this covers the time when the sun is in Aries; from March 20 to April 19 2004


This is the basics for using this spread as a yearly forcast
the only thing different is that you do not start lay out the ards with position #1, you start in the # position that represents the sign that the Sun is currently in & you start the reading that the sun will be in next.

so~ Lucille-
please present your cards--

Phoenix Rising

I've been informed by Lunalafey that I should only draw 1 card so maybe we can disregard the second card?

The next step in this spread is to chose which part of the reading you would like to do first.
You can first look at the year month by month, or you can read the areas of life represented by the houses.


{Question= court cards? Father is King, Mother is Queen, what is daughter? page?}
 

Phoenix Rising

Yes my deck doesn't have the kings, knights, page etc. As we are modern day now and not in a royal court, well that 's how Joseph designed it, and has made the mother the senior of the courts because we're in a matriarchal energy. But yes I assume the daughter would be the page.
 

Phoenix Rising

So here I go

1. Self-Daughter of wands
Well I never would of picked this card as representing myself, but obviously my sub conscious had a different view of me. She represents someone who is motivated, sociable and full of energy. She is now starting to look for all comforts of home, and thinking more about her image and appearance. She is starting to look toward the career aspect, and having alot of fresh ideas. She loves life, and thinking very much of things that she wants now. Starting to appreciate herself alot more too, and starting to pamper herself more.

2. Money and Posessions- 5 wands(rv) Hmmm
This indicating that at times may think of money and getting those things that you want as a struggle. Although it would appear that the struggle is with other people around, maybe alot of taking from others or not getting what I deserve, selling myself short. Yes this house has certainly always been a struggle, it's giving up the attitude of poverty consciousness.

3. Communication and Learning - father of wands(rv)
It appears that I may come into contact with this man, he seems to have alot of knowledge and is intelligent may even be a professional of some sort. He could be also a teacher that I meet on a course. it shows him as being a little arrogant and know it all type, but a firey personality and full of passion in what he has to say.

4. Home and family - 9 cups(rv)
8 cups being emptied and 1 cup standing. It seems as though I may feel as if I'm holding everyone up on my own, and there's not alot to go around. Need to fill all the cups. Energy being wasted, flitting away. Need to focus more on the family and own home life, then trying to look outside, energy is more important here.

5. Children, creativity and romance - 5 swords(rv)
Well things are starting to look up, it seemed that in the past alot of your creativity had been put on the back burner and you gave up, children too seemed too much for you, and any thought of romance was non-existent. It appears though that you will have accepted all these things in a better light, and push your way through.

6. work and responsibilities - 3 stones
well this is definitely a card that means work (keyword for this card is work) So a part time job does seem to be showing.

7. Partnerships - 9 wands
Hmm partnerships will need to be worked at, as it can be hard work, but shows it self as very fulfilling, seems to be alot of energy within the relationship. Although I don't have a partner at this stage. So maybe it means friendships or another form of partnership.

8. Life cycles, sexual matters, occult - Fool
Well certainly a journery into unknown territory, where I'll have the courage to step forward. Death of the old and birth of the new.

9.Philosophy, long distant travel - mother of wands
A very powerful lady with alot of personal power and energy, could possibly be a foreigner, will have a influence in some new learning.

10. (Career and Status) - 2 cups(rv)
This card normally represents relationships, so being reversed would mean a separation or misunderstanding. this one throws me a little in this house. All I can say is that I wouldn't be counting on having a supportive partner in my career choice perhaps.?

11.
 

Phoenix Rising

Part 2 of Horoscope, I accidently pushed the submit button.

11. Social Affairs - Strength
i will certainly have gained alot of confidence in around alot of people, a great time for socialising.

12 Hidden Influences - Ace cups
This certainly is a nice card to have in this position, I will certainly be emotionally fulfilled, possibly a stong connection to somebody, But overall very happy and content.

So how did I do, it took a long time to answer that one. But any more insights on that will be great.

here's what I see in this spread...

1st Hs (self) -Daughter wands
2nd Hs (possessions) -5 wands(rv)
3rd Hs (communication & learning) -father wands(rv)
4th Hs (home & family) -9 cups(rv)
5th Hs (creativity & love)-5 swords(rv)
6th Hs (work & responsibilities) -3 stones
7th Hs (partnerships) -9 wands
8th Hs (life cycles) -Fool
9th Hs (philosophy) -mother wands
10th Hs (career & status) -2 cups(rv)
11th Hs (social affairs) -Strength
12th Hs (hidden influences) -Ace cups

I'm going to start with the Ace of cups-
here, there is some emotional force at work, something in it's most newest stage, so new, you have no idea that it's around you. The Fool comes along and echos something new and unkown. Strength speaks of keeping intouch with the love inside you and the love for yourself. People can do and say all they want- they do this to break you down. If you know yourself, you know that as long as you love yourself, they can not strike you down no matter how hard they try. Strength reminds you to stand strong around others.
I feel that the year ahead is going to be quite a trial for you. You will be faced with situations that will test you heart.
The five of of Swords indicates letting go of something or someone that you are fond of. With the 9 of cups this may be something very close to home, and with the 2 of cups- could be at work as well-
is there a family business?
The three of stones shows the neccessity of working and responsibilities- you have great potential in this area, this is also reflected within the reading as a whole. With the other cards reversals and such- this potential and opprotunity for advancement might be compromised by relationships with those close to you.
another thing I'm seeing here is some sort of luring with the emotions and then a sudden turn against you from someone who you thought was your friend. This could cause troubles in the work place for it might stem from thier and then bleed into the home.
I feel that the Father of Wands deals more with yourself than it does another person. I feel that these trials will cause you to do some re-evaluation of who you are and who you don't want to be. Looking at the Daughter of Wands, we see another starting point. Here is a personallity that sometimes can run hot and uncontrolled, what you learn from that comes from the Father of Wands, perhaps not to be so demanding or controlling- the Fool reminds us to have faith, and that sometimes the best thing is to go forward with out having to have control and letting things be handled by fate.
don't try so hard to control things and keep them together- this is actually sometimes counter productive, for these things are supposed to fall apart to allow for new developement

There is an air of dissapointment and letting go and starting anew within your spread. This brings me to the Mother of Wands.
This card reminds you to be true to you, and do not get carried away with your emotions. Trust in the Universe- or what ever it is you believe in. The year will be a tough one, but be strong and have faith. Be as the Fool and go about everyday without a care.
Worry will only slow you down from your potential this year.
 

Phoenix Rising

well thankyou Lunalafey, you certainly did alot of work there for me. A few trials aye, yes I'm not one for drama's, I avoid them like the plague. In my younger days i used to thrive on it.

At present I'm not working as I've got my 3 children and 2 others that I also help look after school. I'm separated from the childrens father, but we get along marvellously, alot better than when we were together, so we're like great friends now, although I know that he would like to be a family again, but I like my independence too much, "my way or no way" is a attitude of mine.

I'm just starting to become more secure in what I do, people have always tried to bring me down. Mostly from the so called "New Agers" and healers. I've learnt just recently not to listen too much by what other people say. Especially when it comes to career or business matters, people are so negative, always pointing out the worst case scenarios instead of saying "give it a go"
I certainly did have a control issue, still do, just a little though, mainly over the childrens father. I had a very controlling father, but I learnt to accept my father and very grateful for how he bought me up, he was very protective of his family and just did the best he knew how. Although myself and 3 siblings all have failed relationships and are all single now, all with children too.
So tests of the heart will be a interesting one, I've certainly put a wall up in that area.
I was wanting to have my own business too sometime this year, maybe in the vibrational therapies area. But I'm certainly willing to have these challenges, and get rid of what is no longer needed, I have no problem in facing myself either, all I've ever wanted is to "Know myself" so I'm doing alot of work in that area.

But thankyou very much I appreciate that, as I've always liked that spread and was wanting to get that one down pat. So maybe just drawing one card for each house is quite enough.
Thankfully all my lessons have been very subtle, I don't need a huge drama or trauma to make me get the lesson, it can come in very small ways.
