Astrology spread

I've been getting into astrology lately and want to try combining it with my Tarot. Do any of you have a favorite astrology spread you like to use in readings?

Absolutely, astrology and Tarot go really well together. One of my go-to layouts is the Zodiac Spread - for me it's super flexible and can reveal some pretty deep stuff.

@Zena_Aquarte That sounds intriguing. How do you usually read the Zodiac Spread?

Zena_Aquarte

The Zodiac Spread is 12 cards laid out in a circle, each one matching an astrological house. You start at the 1st house (Aries) and go around in order to the 12th (Pisces).

For example, the 1st house deals with self-image and identity, so the card there shows how you're presenting yourself. The 7th house, Libra, is about partnerships and relationships, so the card in that spot speaks to what's happening in your close connections.

That sounds comprehensive. How would you read the cards in this spread?

I mix tarot with astrology a lot. For example, the Page of Cups in the 5th house (Leo) could mean a playful, creative way of expressing yourself and maybe the start of a new romantic interest.

Wow, fascinating! I can totally see how that spread deepens a reading. Got any other astrology spreads you'd recommend?

Another one I like is the Planetary Spread. You draw a card for each planet - Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto - and read each card based on what that planet rules in astrology. For me it's a neat little celestial snapshot of what's going on right now.

Thanks for sharing - I’ll definitely try these spreads in my readings. Astrology and tarot together make such a strong combo.
