Spreads
Reflective Tarot Spreads
A spread is the structure of a reading: the number of cards, the order of reveal, and the meaning of each position. PlayTarot uses spreads as symbolic maps for self-discovery, not as fixed predictions.
3 cards
The Inner Compass
The Inner Compass is a 3-card spread designed to bring clarity without trapping you in anxiety about the future. Instead of predicting what will happen, it reveals what needs to be seen now, which inner lesson is asking for attention, and what conscious action can guide the next step.
The reading is organized into three houses: The Blind Spot, The Mirror, and The Next Step. Together, they form a simple, deep, and practical narrative: recognizing the root of the dilemma, understanding the inner shift required, and turning that awareness into action. It is a spread for those seeking direction, presence, and responsibility over their own choices.
How it works
The Blind Spot
The hidden root of the current dilemma.
The Mirror
The inner lesson or virtue being asked of you.
The Next Step
The conscious practical action available now.
1 card
Inner Spark
The smallest spread, for an ordinary day. One card, one question, one minute to pause and look closely.
Shuffle, cut, and draw one card. Look at the image before you read a word. Ask: what is asking for my attention now? Notice what is within your reach today.
The card doesn't decide your day. It shows you where the light is coming in.
How it works
Today's Focus
What is asking for my attention now?

Inner Elements
Five cards that spread a situation across the four elements, with the heart of the matter at the center. For when the question is big and you want the whole picture, not just the next step.
