Past Life Tarot Spread help?

[elixir]

Hello,

I recently did a Past Life Tarot Spread:

Link removed - Links to other forums are not allowed.

I am only a beginner at reading or even using Tarot Cards, so I was wondering whether or not I would be able to ask for some insight into the cards I received.

These are the cards I ended up with:


Mind – High Priestess reversed
Body - 3 of Wands
Spirit - Ace of Cups
Birth - 6 of Cups reversed
Undercurrent – 6 of Wands
Attitude – 5 of Pentacles
Actions – 7 of Cups
Death – 9 of Cups upside down

Affecting this life:
Family & Home – 7 of Wands
Positive – 6 of Pentacles
Negative – The Moon upside down

Work & Possessions – 5 of Wands
Positive – The Star
Negative – The Tower

Love and Relationships – 6 of Swords
Positive – The Magician
Negative – The Emperor


Challenge/Lesson - Justice
Heart - Temperance
Soul – The Hermit
Sacrifice – Wheel of Fortune
Hidden Influence – The World


Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time

I'm not used to readings like this. It has 22 cards pulled. It seems to almost be like a number of readings because usually when I see a reading it's focused on one specific area, and the cards reveal things relative to that subject. This reading covers the most common questions all in one reading. Home, Work, Love. Those are often focuses of individual readings. There's so much going on here... It's like reading a personality/natal chart. I'm used to doing shorter readings because each card has so much weight, so much to say. 22 cards could be like a book, but I guess you'd have to just look at the most fundamental generalities of the cards here, otherwise the reading could be read for aeons. However, after rereading your post, I see it's a past life reading, so it makes sense to get a bit of insight into who and what you were about in a past life, thus looking at various areas to bring it together as a whole.

I'm too tired right now, just woke up and foggy, but will look at this again to see if I can come up with something useful for you.

Namaste.

You have too many cards there for a beginner to make a cohesive picture. The positions would be most telling. May I suggest an alternate past life spread?

Present Life
1 - Situation/issue in Question -OR Present Life Purpose
2 - Challenge/Obstacles in present life
3 - Talent/gift in present life
4 - Present life outcome/situational outcome -

Past Life (in relation to present life)
8 - Related Situation/issue in Past life -OR Past Life Purpose
9 - Related Challenge/Obstacles in past life
10 - Related Talent/gift in past life
11 - Past life outcome/outcome of related situation in past life

Interim
5 - Death in Past life: Circumstances surrounding the end of the first life
6- Life in between lives
7 - Intention for current life (devised during in-between life, prior to incarnating into present life)

What I can tell from your reading is not too clear: you may have drowned/ pneumonia or a jealous female might of killed you or died giving birth, as you were possibly of young mothering age and a female when you died. Spirituality or duty is influencing this life and your relationships you are too controlling. You were very happy go lucky. your challenge is justice and balance if you feel wronged as a victim syndrome or are now in a position of power. Your work might not work out you are too idealisitic, but you are commited to soul searching as you were sacrificied on the karmic wheel.

Maybe you would like to join the tarot group?

Your undercurrent was 6 of wands, and that is good. For a beginner I would do a card for the day, or perhaps and 3 card spread. Or, a card for each day of the week. Then try Celtic Cross. There are variations of it, I know that some do the Cross in a different way.

There are many books and guides online with all kinds of spreads. I would start with a simple spread and advance. Bright Blessings and best wishes, Starry Night

Thank you for all of your input

I have to admit I was rather intimidated by the spread, but it seemed like it might work. But I think I shall have to give the spread above that Brifae shared. When I attempt that spread, I will share my results/readings on here

I think I will join the tarot group, thank you for the suggestion :-)
