When I was contributing to Using Tarot cards thread, "Preferring to use fewer cards in a reading" I mentioned that I have gone from the 22 card spread I first learned when learning tarot (the 12 houses of the Horoscope to be done in combination with the celtic cross--yes, 22 cards!) to a truncated 5 card spread for past (2 cards) present (1 Card) and future (2 cards) spread: ultimately using 3 cards all discussing the present. Yet, on my new on-line reading gig, I find that when people ask for a general reading, the trusty old Horoscope spread is great. Since people get 4 minutes for a reading, I don't read ALL of it, but looking over the "whole" of a person's life tells me what is bothering them the most. On the Fewer cards thread, Euripides said I must discuss this further. Since this was the first spread I ever learned, I assumed everyone knew of it. But I see it isn't well known at all, so here it is.
Now, I really dislike astrology. I find it constricting and not all that accurate. But this spread really covers all the bases in a persons life. So it is useful. Here it is, see what you all think.

1. Your projected image
2. Financial security
3. Family, siblings, people in your immediate vicinity
4. The Home, where you feel spiritually planted
5. Personal self-expression, where you want to shine and the way you enter romantic relationships
6. Service, health, co-workers and work
7. one on one relationships, romantic and business partners too
8. Debts, legacies, other people's money and transformation
9.High education, higher mind, long distance travel
10.Career and Vocation
11. Hopes, wishes and desires, also small groups and organizations
12. Subconscious and unconscious motive, fears, inspirations and Karma.
I assume others have other systems of what the house of the horoscope mean, but I would be interested in others thoughts.
