Spread depth
Designing a spread that answers the question you have
Most questions do not fit a standard spread exactly, and forcing them into one is how readings end up sounding generic. A spread is only a set of questions asked in a fixed order, which means you can write your own.
This guide covers how many positions to use, how to phrase a position so it stays readable, and how to test a spread before you trust it with something that matters to you.
What this guide covers
The sections above are part of the Pro reading library. The opening you have just read is free.
- Start from the question, not the shape
- Phrase positions as questions, not as labels
- Deal the positions in the order you wrote them
- Test it three times before you keep it
