Horse Shoe Spread

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

The Horse Shoe is a classic tarot spread. It is more advanced than the three-card reading, yet simpler than most other spreads. It is a versatile method that can be used for most queries, though there are other spreads which would go into more depth. Like the simple Past, Present, and Future spread, it contains these cards in positions #1, #2, and #7, but also has four other tarot cards that help the reader understand how to deal with the future better. The cards are to be read as follows:

1. The Past: Past events affecting the question.
2. The Present: The current state or approaching influence.
3. Hidden Influences: Things the reader may not be aware of (or barely be aware of).
4. Obstacles: This is the challenge: obstacles may be avoided or may have to be dealt with.
5. External Influences: Attitudes and thoughts regarding people around the reader.
6. Suggestions: Recommended course of action.
7. Outcome: The result of following the suggestions.

The Past represents past events that are affecting the question.

 

The Clover

Realm of Earth

The clover and the sun are a pair. The clover got all the energy of the sun. It is something like a medicinal plant. Highly compressed energy or good vibes (forced by you yourself), materialised (green) in a lot of little aspects or only in one, coming back to you at the right time and then giving you back that energy you need in that moment.

The Clover is a symbol of good luck, hope, simplicity, and nature. This card indicates sudden good luck.

 

 

 

 

The Present represents the current state or immediately approaching influence.

 

The Heart

Love, feelings, the heart of something, connection, the Soul.

 

 

 

 

Hidden Influences - Things that you may not be aware of, or barely be aware of.

 

The Sun

Realm of Fire

This is the highest energy. Everything is free, on a new way, will get a new form soon. This is inspirational energy, what we for example feel when highly motivated start a new project. At this point we can ask ourself what energy actually is.

Creation, brilliance, success, heat, positivity, happiness, will-power, aura, the absolute, the centre of attention. The Sun suggests great honours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obstacle - This is the challenge.

 

The Child

The Child indicates youth, inexperience, naiveness, playfulness, and small size. The appearance of the Child may suggest a child coming into your life.

 

 

 

 

External Influences - Attitudes about this situation from people around the querent.

 

The Flowers

A gift, love, friendship, celebration, high spirit, success, and upbeat emotions. The Bouquet signifies forming a positive attitude. This attitude gradually builds your confidence, leading to more and more success.

 

 

 

 

Suggestion - The recommended course of action.

 

The Rocket

The rocket is the active part of the moon. This is the area of earth. The rocket breaks out.

Thoughts, good news, precognition, an augury. This is a messenger of good fortune, perhaps a young man. Your intentions will go well.

 

 

 

 

The Outcome - What will happen if the suggestion is followed.

 

The Harvest

This card indicates inner knowledge, but not really wisdom. Something that one does not understand by experience, but in theory. A warning to be careful, as something that happens quickly can bring much pain. This card indicates that you will reap the harvest of what you have sewn.
