Polarity Spread

Ashla86

This is taken from the Shapeshifter tarot book. I use it a lot.

Go through your deck and choose nine cards that you really like. Go by the pictures though, don't pay any attention to the meanings until later. This could end up changing every time that you try it. When you have chosen nine cards that you like put them in order with your favourite card on top and then your swcond favourite next, then your third and do so until you have reached nine. Put this stack nearby. Now select nine cards from the deck that you don't like. Put them in order of dislike where the least appealing card is at the top. Place both decks in front of you side by side.
Now begin with the stack of cards you dislike. Read their meanings one by one. These cards represent your worst fears in regards to the question at hand. Take your time working through the emotions and feelings that arise as you can. After you are done, take some time to let it all sink it. Get a glass of water, go do something else for a few minutes.
Now work with the stack of favourite cards. As you did before, read each meaning one by one in regards to the question. These cards represent your greatest loves regarding the question. Use these cards to strengthen your intentions and actions regarding the issue at hand. These cards reinforce the new, positive pattern.

A rule of thumb is to spend at least twice as long with the positive cards then with the ones you don't like.
