Spread of Light and Shadows

Pandora'sBox

So I was flipping through a few of my tarot decks and had some time on my hands, and I decided to create one spread inspired by each of my decks. This is the first one, and I used Barbara Moore and Jessica Galbreth's Enchanted Oracle deck. To do these spreads, I simply started laying out the cards in random patterns until something emerged that I could make sense of. If they have any relation to any other spreads posted it's purely an accident, because I had nothing but my journal with me at the time. And I don't usually read with inverted cards, I prefer using the placement of the cards to decide what's to be read in shadow and what's to be read in light.

******4***
****2***3*
***5**1**6
****7***8*
******9***
The idea is that all the cards are sort of radiating from the center, like a star.

1.You at this moment in time
2-4. Your positive traits, dreams, hopes, etc.
5. Past actions affecting the now
6. Immediate future if nothing changes
7-9. Things that need working on, fears, etc.

I've found that this is a good centering and grounding spread when I'm feeling lost or confused.
