Tarot spreads
A spread is a layout where every position has its own meaning: the same card says different things in the “Past” position and in the “Outcome” position. Here are the spreads from the Numen app — with layouts, the meaning of every position and tips on how to read them.

How to choose a spread
For a simple question, one card is enough — try Yes or No tarot. For a situation that is unfolding, use three cards: Past, Present, Future or a spread on a specific topic. For complex decisions, use the Five Card Cross, the Horseshoe or the Celtic Cross.
The more cards, the more detailed the picture — and the harder it is to read. Start with three cards and move on to bigger spreads once you feel how the positions talk to each other.
