This is a spread for what to expect for a job. The first five cards are a quick present and future. Four pairs of cards lie in the corners and correspond to directional attributions.
13/9........................................10/6
....................................................
........5.......4.......3.......2.......1..............B
....................................................
12/8........................................11/7
1 is the present
5 is the future (I'd say 6 months at most)
2-4 is the time between, but does not necessarily have to be even in time.
Before you start the reading, you should decide whether you want the timeline to go by chronology, or instead give you a more 'event'-based timespan. The former will show things leading to things in a more logical order, and the latter will give a picture of important events to YOU, so someone reading for you may not see the significance you would.
The 'B' way out on the right side near present is an optional card. It is drawn from the bottom of the stack you are reading from, and tells where you are coming from--and what you are bringing as a result. I put it as optional because you may want to start fresh and not worry about the past. Also for the reason that it may be a card that would have appeared somewhere else if not used. It is drawn after all 13 cards are placed.
Cards 6 and 10 are in the northeast corner and correspond to money and mentality; this is the position of pay.
Cards 7 and 11 are in the southeast corner and correspond to social situations (work) and mentality; this is the position of hopes and fears.
Cards 8 and 12 are in the southwest corner and correspond to social situations and love/partnership; this is the position of coworkers.
Cards 9 and 13 are in the northwest corner and correspond to money and love/partnership; this is the position of job satisfaction.
The corners above are pretty self explanatory and I don't think extra explanation would be helpful. (But ask if you have questions) I think it would be interesting to play around with the symmetry of this spread (as you may have noticed with my other spreads). For example, if you draw a line right down the middle, bisecting card 3, see how the two north corners and south corners mirror each other; are there major differences? Similarities? Do they seem to relate to each other? Numerology or astrology involved?
The same can be done bisecting across the timeline; how do the easts and wests compare? Diagonals are another line that comes to mind. You could also compare the corners to the timeline individually and see what comes up (little messages? these cards are filled with symbolism!)
