easy 7-card spread

N1ghts0ng

not sure if anyone has already posted something similar to this spread. I found it very useful, especially with Runes, however it also works well with tarot as well as oracle cards. Hopefully if you try it, you'll find it works as well for you! Feedback welcome

2) The underlying cause/reason for the current situation (overlays card 1)
