How to Read the Tarot Spread

Tarot was originally known as "tarocchi."

The Chakra tarot spread is one of the most popular tarot spreads. Before you start reading the tarot card, you first need to shuffle the cards a few times. This process is also paired with some meditating to make sure that you channel the best reading from your cards. You need to think deeply about the seven different chakras in order to overcome your biases and prejudices as you deliver your reading to another person. Once you've laid out all seven cards, simply leave them in the position to which they were drawn.

Instructions

1. Flip the first card and read it in reference to the person's security. The root chakra's first card largely affects security. It measures the energy levels of the person and also indicates how the person's habits affect his life.

2. Move to the second chakra, or the spleen or sacred chakra. This refers to the current sexual and relationship issues of the person as indicated by the card. Describe the emotional ties as indicated in the reading.

3. Go to the third card or the solar plexus chakra. This indicates the areas of concern for the person that he must watch out for and handle carefully. The card will represent circumstances that are confusing for the person. Check if there is any hint that the person is worrying more about what others are doing instead of watching their own actions.

4. Check the fourth card or the heart chakra. This card represents the ability to love, and will therefore show if the person is ready to accept or begin to love someone unconditionally.

5. Move to the fifth chakra or the throat energy source. This card will tell you more about the person's communication skills and what has to be done in terms of the areas of writing and speaking to help them communicate their feelings better.

6. Go to the sixth card or the brow chakra. This will show if the person may be turning to the wrong direction. This card will allow you to direct the person's attention to the correct path to see their life more clearly.

7. Check the last chakra or the crown. This will illustrate the person's level of spiritual being and the things that can be done to achieve their highest potential.
