The Temperance Spread!

[Silver Venus]

Something for the weekend :)

This spread is for creative issues, the art and alchemy of things.

Shuffle the deck and lay out the cards per the diagram below.

Card 1: This card represents the inspired you, ideas or a goal, or ways to renew your creativity, a different way of looking at things.

Cards 2 and 3: Card 2 represents the fire, and card 3 the water, the two elements that go into your work, a central tension and theme to explore.

Card 4: This card is the solid base, your knowledge and learning, training and past experience, the technical skills that will go into this.

Card 5: This card represents the deep draughts of water through your roots, the connection to soul, and numinous experiences. This is the part of the process where things go under for a while, mostly unknown to you, to resurface later cleansed and energized and shining. This process cannot be controlled or forced, but it can be nourished.

Hiya :) I decided on this one for you!
This spread is for creative issues, the art and alchemy of things.

Card 1: This card represents the inspired you, ideas or a goal, or ways to renew your creativity, a different way of looking at things.
~ King Of Swords ~ This is a very intellectual and analytical card ~ so you must be a great thinker! Your very creative with your imagination and thoughts and can easily express and communicate with others ~ this is what inspires you in others too,.. as you like to be surrounded by alike friends and often have long and interesting discussion's about various topics with others. You also hold very high standards for yuorself and of others around you.

Card 2 represents the fire, and card 3 the water, the two elements that go into your work, a central tension and theme to explore.
~ Ace of Cups and Five of Swords ~ Oo this is interesting as they are totally opposite cards!
The ace stands for new love and emotions, it is a very free, open and giving card and the 5 stands for self love and concetrating on yourself to heal yourself and love yourself. .. so maybe these are your positive traits and also a cause for hearthache with you.. maybe you give to others more than you give to yourself... This is to explore so maybe your love for others and yourself needs to be looked deeper into?

Card 4: This card is the solid base, your knowledge and learning, training and past experience, the technical skills that will go into this.
~ Page of wands ~ This is a great card and one of my favoruites at the moment! Ambition and drive have been very important to you and are a frim part of your personality. You are very creative as well as intellectual, confident and ready for anything in life! I think youve trained yourself to be like this from your past and maybe past hurt.. this is a real moving forward and the sky's the limit card!!

Card 5: This card represents the deep draughts of water through your roots, the connection to soul, and numinous experiences. This is the part of the process where things go under for a while, mostly unknown to you, to resurface later cleansed and energized and shining. This process cannot be controlled or forced, but it can be nourished.
~ Ten of Wands ~ this ties in with your last card as in the past... I think you have felt trapped and still can do.. but remember this is a deep thing so maybe not on the surface. This suggests that it has been a tough ride and a bit of a struggle but you are on top now and are stronger and more powerful than ever!... maybe when some things go wrong some times you turn back to this card and think you cant go on because it is all too much.. and maybe you try!! to do too much as reflected in cards 2 and 3.

Hope this helped :)
