Choose a Major Tarot archetype that captures your attention. Maybe it’s one you want more of in your life or maybe you’ve found it difficult to connect with or understand, finding it rather inscrutable.

The reader will place  that card at the center of the spread.

The recipient will craft an affirmation for their chosen card using ‘I’ statements in the present tense with positive verbs.
Examples:
Wheel of Fortune: I welcome synchronicity and intuitive and psychic guidance
Strength: I welcome the animal and physical strength within me.

Process:
Place the chosen Tarot Major face up in the center
Choose cards 1-4 thinking of the meaning of the card and laying them all face down.
Turn them over quickly in succession. Notice how they look together.
Read each card as an answer to its position. Notice if numbers, colors or meanings are interconnected.

Position Meanings
A in the Center:  Chosen Tarot Major laying face up
Card 1:  What might be blocking or diminishing this archetype ie what needs to be released
Card 2:  What is unknown or misunderstood about this archetype
Card 3:  What does this archetype need to feel respected and truly welcomed in
Card 4:  How may life grow, develop and change because of a closer relationship as this archetype is integrated

Hints to Interpreting this spread
Card 1 and 3. Card 1 reveals what should be removed and contrasts with Card 3 showing what needs to be done or emphasized
Card 2 is important because it clarifies and may point out muddled notions or misunderstanding of the archetype
Card 4 can and should always be read in a positive way.
