Tarot Tip #27 The Astrological Layout – Extended Family and More!

  In this Tarot Tip I’m expanding on what you learned in my Tarot Tip #27, where I showed you how to find key people in your client’s life, like their mother, father, children, friends, and significant other, using the Astrological layout.

     You now know how to lay your cards out in a circle using 12 cards, starting at the 9 o’clock position and placing them counter-clockwise around the circle.  If you know astrology you can just think of this as an astrology chart layout.

     In astrology, we call this technique, “spinning the wheel”.  It works quite well in the Tarot as well!
     Here’s where to find more key people in your client’s life using this layout:

Best friend – 3 o’clock position, or 7^th house.
Colleague – 4 o’clock position, or 6^th house.
Siblings – 7 o’clock position, or 3^rd house.  That also describes specifically your oldest sib.
   Your second oldest sibling is the 5 o’clock position, or the 5^th house.
   The third oldest sibling is the 3 o’clock position, or the 7^th house.
   If your client has more siblings, every 3 cards, including the one you’re on, is a next youngest sibling.
    Aunt and/or Uncle, mother’s side – 4 o’clock, or 6^th house.
    Aunt and/or Uncle, father’s side – 1 o’clock or the 9^th house.
   Grandmother, father’s side – 9 o’clock or 1^st house.
   Grandmother, mother’s side – 3 o’clock or 7^th house.
   Grandfather, father’s side – 3 o’clock or 7^th house.
   Grandfather, mother’s side – 9 o’clock or 1^st house.
   Children – you know from my last tip that your client’s children are in the 5 o’clock or 5^th house position.  That is also specifically the oldest child. If your client has a second child, you’ll find that child at 2 o’clock or the 8^th house, a third child will be at 11 o’clock or the 11^th house, and if there are more children, you’ll find the next child in line every 4^th card moving counter clockwise.

     Give this reading layout a try for yourself, and see how many of these relationships you can find in your own reading.  You are going to be amazed at how detailed you can be when you describe what’s going on for all these people in your extended family and friends.  To find their circumstances, just first find the person, then look at the cards before and after them. That’s their past and their future, and their current circumstances!

     This layout is also good for separating out the relationships and children in families with multiple marriages, with children from different parents all living together.  Yes, you CAN sort those relationships out, using the Astrological Layout.  More about that in my next tip!
