Changing outcome spread

I like it. I Put it in my tarot to try it when I come upon a situation like that.

Hey Silent Breeze..please don't be offended okay? I kind of messed with your spread a lil bit.

1.Original outcome card from whichever spread
2.Immediate cause of the problem (explains the obvious reasons why whatever card 1 shows happened)
3.Hidden Influences (whether subconscious, conscious, or whether it is an external factor affecting the querent that cannot be controlled)
4.What ultimately happens if you continue on this path
5. General direction in which to head
6. Internal changes you need to make (changing your thoughts)
7. External changes you need to make (actions you need to take)
8.Anyone/ Anything that can help you make these changes
9. Outcome if you change ( this is just a reassurance that it will work)
10.Timing – How long it may take before things manifest differently (if reversed this may indicate a delay and why)

To me this spread is a great idea, but personally I feel like the first card, while it can be a newly drawn card, could also be the outcome card of the last spread you did. So for example if you did a Celtic Cross earlier for a certain issue and you received, say, the 3 of swords as an outcome card, you would then use the 3 of swords again as card 1 for this “Changing the Outcome” spread. Using it significator-style like this sort of gives you a structure for the reading…like a foundation and from there you can “colour inside the lines” if you will.

Since you’re basically changing direction, I felt like the shape of an arrow would fit really well for a spread like this. It can be laid out with the tip of the arrow facing upwards too, or in the opposite direction...whatever suits you best :)

I made a few changes to the position meanings since a couple of them seemed to suggest the same thing…hope you’re not mad. I added a card for timing since some people love to know WHEN, and whatever system you have for gauging time can be used.

Anyway, just thought I might post my suggestions, but if you like your layout better that's cool too :D
