The Art of Tarot Spreads

🔮 Past Present Future by Barbara Moore

Tarot Spreads • Creativity • Deeper Readings

Move beyond the same familiar tarot layouts and discover how to make your spreads work for the reading you're actually trying to give. In Past Present Future, bestselling tarot author Barbara Moore explores both classic and contemporary tarot spreads while teaching you how to choose, adapt, and eventually create spreads with confidence.

Rather than treating a spread as simply a pattern for laying down cards, Barbara encourages readers to see it as a framework for asking better questions and gaining deeper insight. Through practical examples, stories, and hands-on exercises, you'll learn how small changes to a spread can completely change the direction and depth of a reading.

💫 A Note from Sarah:

I teach tarot intuitively, and one of the things I really want students to understand is that you don't have to be trapped by a spread. A layout should help you have a conversation with the cards—not make you panic because you can't figure out what the Seven of Cups is supposed to mean in position number six. 😂 I love the idea behind this book because it teaches you to understand and adapt spreads instead of simply memorizing them.
