Schoolhouse Rock, De La Soul, and I are in agreement that 3 is the magic number.

For me, I can't stand to read with less than four or more than ten cards (not counting clarifier cards - and I'll only draw two or three of those). My "ideal" number is 6 or 8 cards. The only time I'm comfortable with 10+ is when I'm doing a Celtic Cross spread. I can't do "horoscope" spreads - partly because I don't know anything about astrology, partly because 12 cards seems like so much to me. I can't do calendar spreads either - once in a while, I'll do one, but it's hard for me to interpret what one card means for a whole month.
Have you become more comfortable with bigger spreads as time goes on? Or do you stick with smaller numbers? What's the biggest or smallest spread you feel comfortable doing?
Blessings,
Taylor

No, not kidding. There's usually a repeating pattern that is told over and over again. In a regular spread it's like we take a cross-section slice out of the whole sequence and we just focus on that. It's like when someone reads a cross-section of a tree for information that's repeated throughout the whole.gregory said:you is funny
You is joking, right ???
