Elemental Spread

When I first started reading Tarot cards, I took a class with a teacher on the Lower East Side in NYC. He taught me (us) this 4 card elemental spread.

I continue to use it, as my practice evolved. When I went on to study Polarity Therapy, it fit right into the four elements, and inspired me to continue to synthesize systems.

FOUR CARD ELEMENTAL READING

Focus on your question or intention. Choose four cards, one at a time, and place them from right to left as shown.

The meaning of a card is strengthened if it is in the placement that corresponds to its element:

For example: a fire card in the fire (first) placement

Weakened cards are as follows:

• Water card in a fire placement

• Fire card in a water placement

• Earth card in an air placement

• Air card in an earth placement

More than one card of the same element or number strengthens the meaning of those cards in the spread.

FIRE (Wands) -Spiritual, Create, Insight, Passion, Brightness, Action, Focus, Vitality

WATER (Cups) - Emotional, Love, Relationship, Connect, Flowing, Receptive, Nurturing, Merging

AIR (Swords) -Mental, Thought, Contemplate, Ideas, Movement, Speed, Disperse, Lightness

EARTH (Pentacles) - Physical, Sense, Work, Money, Structure, Methodical, Organize, Grounded

You may choose several sets of four for deepening or clarifying your question.
