horse shoe spread

mrsjvan

I have read about several people using the horse shoe spread, but do not know how to do it. I did a search to no avail. Can anyone help me find the spread or tell me how the spread goes?

Thanks,
Mrsjvan

My Horseshoes

Five Card Horseshoe

1. Recent Past
2. Present
3. The Unexpected
4. Near Future
5. Further Future

(Near future = 2 weeks)


Seven Card Horseshoe

1. Recent Past
2. Present
3. Hopes and Fears
4. The Unexpected
5. The Gate
6. Near Future
7. Further Future

(Near future = 2 weeks, Further 4-6 weeks)

(Hopes and fears = Internal influence. Unexpected = hidden external influence. The Gate = that which must be experienced - the lesson)

This is my horseshoe too and but I always now lay two cards in each position, because it gives me a clearer reading.
Also, if occasion demands, I exchange 4. Near future for Advice, and 5. Further Future for Outcome, but only occasionally.

This is the spread I always start with to get a good 'feel' of the situation.

Thanks all, I look forward to trying them out. I don't have many people to read for so it may be a while, although i do read for myself and my husband. I appreciate the help.

I too very often use two cards at each position. Then as opposed to reading either card, I read the relationship between both cards at each position.

Not recommended for the novice reader.

Yes definately!

It can be a good starting point also for a complicated relationship too, I've found, as invariably one 'side' relates to one party and the other, the second party. That interaction can speak volumes.
