Alright, let’s talk about this 12 card tarot spread, you know, the one they say tells you everything about your life. I ain’t no fancy expert, but I’ve seen a thing or two, and I can tell you what I know.
What is this 12 card thing anyway?
Well, it’s like this, you take 12 cards, right? And each one of them cards, it’s supposed to be like a piece of your life. Some folks call it the Zodiac spread, sounds fancy, huh? But it’s just a way of looking at your whole year, or maybe even your whole darn life, all at once. They say it’s like a wheel, you know, like those things on a wagon, going round and round. And each spoke on that wheel, that’s one of them cards, telling you something different.
- Card one, maybe that’s about you, how people see ya.
- Card two, that might be your money, if you got any.
- And so on, all the way to card twelve. It’s a whole lot to take in, I tell ya.
What do the cards mean? Lord, that’s a tough one.
Each card has its own story, its own picture. Some look happy, some look sad, some just look plain confusing. I seen one with a fella hanging upside down, they call him the Hanged Man. Sounds scary, right? But they say it’s about wisdom, and maybe having to wait for things. Then there’s this other one, a big ol’ wheel, the Wheel of Fortune they call it. That one’s about luck, and destiny, and all that good stuff. But sometimes it can be reversed, you know, turned upside down, and then it means something different, maybe too much of a good thing. It’s all a bit much for my old brain, to be honest.
How do you do the spread?
Well, there’s different ways, I reckon. Some folks lay ’em out in a circle, like that wheel I was talking about. Others put ’em in a line, or maybe in a cross. I don’t think it matters too much, long as you know which card is which. You gotta shuffle them cards real good, mix ’em all up, so you don’t know what’s coming. Then you just pick ’em, one by one, and lay ’em down. And then you gotta try and figure out what they mean. That’s the hard part.
What can this spread tell you?
Well, like I said, it’s supposed to tell you about everything. Your past, your present, your future. Your love life, your work, your money, your health, the whole shebang. It can tell you what’s going good, what’s going bad, and what you might need to watch out for. It can give you advice, tell you to be careful, or maybe to take a chance. But it ain’t set in stone, you know. It’s just a guide, a way of looking at things. You still gotta make your own decisions, do what you think is right. Don’t go blaming no cards if things go wrong, that ain’t their fault.
Is it all just a bunch of hocus pocus?
Maybe, maybe not. I don’t know for sure. Some folks swear by it, say it’s changed their lives. Others just laugh and say it’s silly. Me, I’m somewhere in the middle. I think there’s something to it, some kind of power in them cards. But I also think it’s up to you how much you believe, how much you let it affect you. If it helps you, if it gives you comfort or guidance, then that’s good. But don’t go getting too caught up in it, don’t let it rule your life. You gotta use your own head, your own heart. That’s what really matters.
So, there you have it. That’s my take on this 12 card tarot spread.
I ain’t no expert, like I said, but I hope I explained it in a way that makes some sense. It’s a powerful tool, I reckon, if you know how to use it. But even if you don’t, it can still be fun to look at them cards, to wonder what they mean. It’s like looking into a mirror, sometimes you see things you like, sometimes you don’t. But it’s always good to take a look, to try and understand yourself, and the world around you.
