This spread is based on the famous Fibonacci Sequence, a mathematical principle found in growth patterns throughout nature. Each consecutive number is the sum of the two preceding it: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc., ad infinitum. The 0 of the sequence is represented by the empty space at bottom center, between where the final two cards are positioned: the end is the beginning. The number of cards on the final, base row is 8 (consider that the 8th consecutive note of the music scale harmonizes with the 1st, completing and defining the octave). The descending rows show the Fibonacci Sequence in progression, but if you count the actual card numbers down the right diagonal column, you’ll also see it there reaching 13. The left column is thereby a negative pillar to the right’s positive.
As the sequence follows a natural course, I felt the spread should too by not assigning any set-in-stone rules or characteristics to each card. If reading for yourself, pour your intentions, thoughts and feelings into this without verbalizing them (just a suggestion). You may just get some answers you didn’t know you were looking for. Please let me know if you vary this and how it works for you. Also, if you feel there are too many cards here, just drop the bottom row or as many as you like. I include it for myself because I like seeing the Sequence’s zero represented. As with all Tarot readings, I continue to see that the value of what it gives is truly and invariably equal to that with which it is imbued. To anyone unfamiliar with the Fibonacci Sequence: I encourage you to look it up and see examples for yourself. Since a vertically aligned reproduction cannot be made here (tried everything to straighten it, so just ignore the periods which are used to help straighten vertical rows), I'm placing a link to a photo.
