The Astrological Wheel Spread: Free Tarot Reading

The Astrological Wheel spread

It is clear that, from its very origins, the world of clairvoyance has been under the total influence of astrology. This will surprise no one, given that both practices share the purpose of teaching us about our personalities as well as about events that may soon unfold in our respective destinies.

While the daily or weekly reading of sensational horoscopes makes some of us quiver with excitement, others, more curious and intrigued by their future, turn to certain practices of clairvoyance, of which tarot reading is the most popular. And when it comes to tarot reading, the Astrological Wheel spread is the one most influenced by the 12 signs of the zodiac.

What is the Astrological Wheel spread?

Any good astrology consultant must, at some point, take an interest in all the divinatory spreads practised within this branch of clairvoyance. Because they generally do not resemble one another at all and, above all, because the differences they display may suit one person but not another.

As for the Astrological Wheel spread, it is the one that makes the most use of all the variations contained within each of the 12 signs of the zodiac, and it is equally influenced by the planets that make up our solar system.

While it is not one of the simplest tarot spreads to perform, it remains just as effective in the interpretation of the cards and, therefore, in what they have to reveal to us. What is more, it is the most playful spread of all, as performing it could be likened to the unfolding of a board game.

This divinatory spread addresses all the essential areas of a life, such as love, work, health and money. If a person’s astrological sign carries so much importance during an Astrological Wheel tarot session, it is because this spread uses the 12 emblems of the zodiac as its central pillars; here, by the way, they are called Houses.

It is worth noting that the astrological wheel is more favourable when practised on certain dates than on others, such as New Year’s Day or the birthday of the person concerned.

How does an Astrological Wheel spread work?

This spread is generally performed with a deck of Marseille tarot cards, and one must never forget that one is always at the heart of a natal chart during such a session. First, 12 cards must be drawn from the full deck, bearing in mind that each one will represent a house of the zodiac.

Each of these houses embodies a family, in which the planets, those who share your life and you yourself, of course, will evolve, sharing emotions on matters relating to love, health, work and fortune.

These 12 cards must then be arranged in the shape of a clock, each card taking one of the 12 places available within this imaginary timepiece, beginning with the first house at the position marking 9 o’clock. Care must also be taken to place them one by one in a counter-clockwise direction. Even if this may seem trivial, it is an essential point for the smooth continuation of the session.

Then comes the long-awaited moment of interpreting these 12 cards, each according to the house to which it belongs. Each card will reveal a great deal of information based on the symbolism it represents, the figure it embodies, but also according to its house.

We then understand that this spread reaches deep down for details buried within each of our respective personalities, in order to confront us with our past and present responsibilities, before providing us with predictions about our near or distant futures.

Why do an Astrological Wheel spread?

This divinatory spread is fascinating in every respect, given how much you can learn about yourself and your behaviour. You will come face to face with yourself, your mental and physical appearance and, above all, with what those around you think of you and your actions. You will also be able to take stock of the confidence you truly grant yourself. You will likewise face your material possessions and everyday needs, your flaws and qualities when it comes time to share.

Moreover, the cards will teach you more about various future events capable of shaking up your destiny. These revelations will be of a professional, financial or emotional nature, or of a general nature concerning your physical and mental vitality.

They will be of great help in allowing you to step back from a situation foretold as somewhat dramatic, and to prepare as best you can for the joyful management of positive events to come, such as those heralding a wedding or a long journey.

Many other pieces of information will reach you during the interpretation of the cards, and significant ones at that, since they will concern your internal energy fields and your emotional and spiritual capacities. You will emerge from this divinatory spread somewhat unsettled, to be sure, but completely in tune with who you truly are, and thus ready to let yourself be guided through the rest of your journey.
