i haven't been able to get outside much this summer solstice but i definitely feel the sun presiding over today anyway. as a typh, i am a fan
tarot
gonna try to remember to do a six-card draw tonight
re: tarot
@Motodrachen row of three, row of two, one by itself, in an upside down triangle. i use this spread whenever i want to focus some significant moment of time into a draw; i did one of these on the day of the eclipse, and another last winter solstice
i tend not to use prescribed meanings for each position, so if that's your style feel free to think of your own (and tell me what they are if so)
re: tarot
@typhlosion I use a modified celtic cross.
The center is a timeline of the Real. from left to right, the Past, current situation, coming challenges, guidance, and likely outcome.
Above that is what is Known, below that is what is surrounding and Obvious.
One card crosses the current situation in the center left. It isn't read up or down, it's Both.
The left side of the known and the surrounding is what is already known by the person receiving the reading. It's what pertains to the central conflict and the current situation. On the top right, you've got what is Known, but to everyone But you, and below that, you've got what's all around you but you can't see it.
It's a useful spread because it can be expanded as needed if a certain aspect needs more explaination.
re: tarot
@Motodrachen ooh, i'll have to try this one sometime. i honestly haven't experimented much with spreads; i usually stick with general one-card and three-card, and the six-card formation i save for special occasions, but i really ought to try new things
