Hosting an online digital tarot deck I thought it might be interesting to gather statistics of card appearances to see what cards were "trending" within a period of time.
I doubt this has been attempted before but it's something one can do with a shared digital tarot deck.
i wanted to see if the collective conscious of all the users of the tarot deck could produce a "trending spread".
At first I ran it over the course of a week, then 2 weeks when it occurred to me to try it over a lunar cycle.
It now runs from new moon to new moon.
The results have been fascinating and I've started publishing them.
There's definitely a correlation between the full moon and changes in the cards, also the 9's appear just before the full moon.
The deck is heavily used, the top trending card of the last lunar cycle had been drawn over 1600 times. It's a complete 78 card deck.
That's the background to this spread I created for the purpose of publishing the results.
However I think it's a good spread for a months forecasting for individual use.
I have divided the lunar cycle into 12 parts. (which reduces in numerology to 3, the most feminine of numbers i think so a suitable candidate).
-1-2-3-4-5-

-7-8-9-10-11

1.Waxing crescent
2.Waxing crescent
3. 1st Quarter
4.Waxing gibbous
5.Waxing gibbous
6. Full Moon
7.Waning gibbous
8.Waning gibbous
3rd Quarter
10.Waning crescent
11.Waning crescent
12.New Moon
I often draw out cards for a day, week or month in which nothing much happens and the card seems superfluous.
So I'm now checking against the trending cards to see if what I'm drawing is in any way related to the trending cards and the collective conscious.
