Looking for a 10 minute reading spread

[Fiona Blackwolf]

Hi all

I am reading at a fair soon and they have set it up for the readers to do short (15 min) readings. My normal spread takes me about 20 min to read so I am trying to find something a little smaller to work with. Maybe 5 cards?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Fiona

I don't know that there are any spreads that can be timed that way - a reader who's used to working under the gun can run a full Celtic Cross in 5 minutes (a bit sketchy, granted, but a full reading), and someone who's going in depth can take 45-60 minutes on a 3 card reading.

Your best bet is to call a couple of friends in as guinea pigs and sit down with a timer and your regular spread. At least, with it, you're comfortable with the card positions already. Then see just how much of a reading you can do in the timed interval. I suspect you'll surprise yourself.

..... 5 .....

.. 1 .. 4 ..

1.) The nature of the problem, situation, or question
2.) The cause of the problem, reason for asking, or point of interest
3.) Factors to be considered
4.) The solution, advise, or comment given
5.) End result or outcome

This is an excellent all around spread (imo).
