Choose a tarot spread

Match one of Seeker’s fifteen spreads to the kind of question you have, the time you can give it, and how familiar you are with layouts. You get a named spread, every position in order, and a short prompt for each place a card would go.

This is a spread picker, not a reading. It does not draw cards, predict what will happen, or offer medical, legal, or financial advice. The same answers always suggest the same spread.

Spread finder

How the suggestion is chosen

Three answers, nothing typed. The question type keeps the spread on the subject — a daily tone, a decision, love, work, a block, fog, a whole-self check-in, or a layered question. Time keeps a short visit on one to three cards. Familiarity keeps Celtic Cross and the seven-card Relationship Spread for people who have room for them. If an answer is missing or not one of the choices, the suggestion is Past, Present, Future.

Names, card counts, and position order are the ones in the Seeker app. A longer tour of the same fifteen layouts is on the blog: Tarot spreads, from one card to the Celtic Cross. Times under each spread are a pacing guide for sitting with the positions, not a rule.

The fifteen Seeker spreads

Open a spread to see its positions. The prompts are questions to sit with. They are not card meanings, and they are not an outcome.

Past, Present, Future

about 5–8 minutes · pacing guide

Mind, Body, Spirit 3 cards

Mind, Body, Spirit

about 5–8 minutes · pacing guide

Three cards for mental clarity, physical energy, and spiritual alignment.

Mind, body, and spirit here are ways to notice attention and meaning. This is not health advice.

  1. Mind. What thought keeps returning?
  2. Body. Where do you notice energy or fatigue, as a feeling rather than a diagnosis?
  3. Spirit. What feels meaningful, or missing, beyond the task in front of you?

Mind, Heart, Body, Spirit 4 cards

Mind, Heart, Body, Spirit

about 8–12 minutes · pacing guide

A holistic check-in across mind, heart, body, and spirit.

Body and spirit in this spread are for reflection. They are not a health assessment.

  1. Mind. What thought keeps returning?
  2. Heart. What is your heart doing with this — pulling close, pulling away, or unsure?
  3. Body. Where do you notice energy or fatigue, as a feeling rather than a diagnosis?
  4. Spirit. What feels meaningful, or missing, beyond the task in front of you?
Block & Release 4 cards

Block & Release

about 8–12 minutes · pacing guide

Name what holds you back, trace its source, learn the lesson, and release what no longer serves.

  1. What blocks you. What is in the way, named as specifically as you can?
  2. Its source. Where did that block begin, as far as you can see?
  3. The lesson. What has this already taught you?
  4. What to release. What are you ready to set down, even a little?
Clarity Spread 5 cards

Clarity Spread

about 10–15 minutes · pacing guide

  1. What's unclear. What feels unclear?
  2. What's delayed. What has been delayed or tangled lately?

Career Path 5 cards

Career Path

about 10–15 minutes · pacing guide

Five cards for work and purpose — where you stand, what blocks you, hidden influences, and the path forward.

This is reflection on work and purpose. It is not career, legal, or financial advice.

  1. Where you stand. Where do you actually stand in this work?
  2. The challenge. What is the hard part you keep meeting?
  3. Hidden influence. What is affecting this that you have not said out loud?
  4. Advice. What would a steadier version of you consider next?
  5. The outcome. What might follow — as a possibility, not a promise?
Love Spread 5 cards

Love Spread

about 10–15 minutes · pacing guide

A lighter relationship reading — you, them, your bond, the challenge, and the outlook. No partner details required.

  1. You. What are you bringing into this?
  2. Your partner. What do you believe the other person is bringing — as your view, not a reading of their mind?
  3. Your connection. What is the quality of the bond between you?
  4. The challenge. What is the hard part you keep meeting?
  5. The outcome of your relationship. What do you hope for this relationship, and what do you fear?

about 10–15 minutes · pacing guide

Two Paths 6 cards

Two Paths

about 15–20 minutes · pacing guide

Compare two choices side by side — each path's present energy, likely outcome, and Selene's guidance between them.

The two outcomes are possibilities to reflect on, not predictions.

  1. Path A. What is the energy of the first option, as you understand it now?
  2. Path A outcome. If you leaned toward path A, what might you have to live with?
  3. Path B. What is the energy of the second option?
  4. Path B outcome. If you leaned toward path B, what might you have to live with?
  5. Between the paths. What is the difference you have not wanted to look at?
  6. Advice. What would a steadier version of you consider next?
Relationship Spread 7 cards

Relationship Spread

about 15–25 minutes · pacing guide

Seven cards explore the bond between you and someone else — chemistry, tension, and what each person needs. You'll enter your partner's details first.

In the Seeker app, this spread asks for a partner's name before the draw. This page does not collect a name or any other personal detail.

  1. You. What are you bringing into this?
  2. Your partner. What do you believe the other person is bringing — as your view, not a reading of their mind?
  3. Your connection. What is the quality of the bond between you?
  4. The challenge. What is the hard part you keep meeting?
  5. Your strength. What is already strong in this connection?
  6. Advice. What would a steadier version of you consider next?

Horseshoe 7 cards

Horseshoe

about 15–25 minutes · pacing guide

Seven cards in the classic horseshoe — past, present, future, you, your world, advice, and outcome.

  1. The past. What earlier moment still shapes this?
  2. The present. What is actually true right now?
  3. The future. What direction deserves attention, without treating it as fixed?
  4. Your inner self. What is going on inside you, apart from the story around you?
  5. Your environment. Who or what around you is shaping this?
  6. Advice. What would a steadier version of you consider next?
  7. The outcome. What might follow — as a possibility, not a promise?
Celtic Cross 10 cards

Celtic Cross

about 25–40 minutes · pacing guide

The classic ten-card layout for layered questions. Surfaces obstacles, hidden influences, hopes, and likely outcomes in depth.

“Outcome” here is a position to reflect on. It is not a guarantee of what will happen.

  1. The present. What is actually true right now?
  2. What crosses you. What is crossing or complicating the present? This card lies across the present.
  3. Your crown. What are you aiming for, or what sits above this?
  4. The past. What earlier moment still shapes this?
  5. The future. What direction deserves attention, without treating it as fixed?
  6. Your inner self. What is going on inside you, apart from the story around you?
  7. Your environment. Who or what around you is shaping this?
  8. Hopes and fears. What do you hope for, and what do you fear?
  9. Advice. What would a steadier version of you consider next?
  10. The outcome. What might follow — as a possibility, not a promise?

Questions about this picker

Does this picker draw cards or predict an outcome?

No. It helps you choose a spread shape from the fifteen layouts in Seeker. It does not shuffle a deck, invent a reading, or tell you what will happen. If you want cards and a conversation about them, that happens in the Seeker app with Selene.

Will the same answers always suggest the same spread?

Yes. The mapping is fixed. The same question type, time, and familiarity always produce the same suggestion and the same alternate.

What if I skip a step or the page receives something unexpected?

Empty, partial, or unrecognized answers fall back to Past, Present, Future, with Daily Draw as the alternate. The page does not guess a topic you did not choose, and it does not repeat the unrecognized text.

Do I need an account, and do you store what I choose?

No account. The three choices stay in the page while you use it. They are not typed as a free-text question, not written to the address bar, and not sent with the link to the app or the Play Store.

Is this medical, legal, or financial advice?

No. Spreads that mention body, work, or outcomes are prompts for reflection. They are not health, legal, career, or financial advice, and they are not a promise about another person.

How do I lay the cards once I have a spread?

Use the numbered positions in order. The small diagram matches the layout in the Seeker app. In the app, Selene can walk the same positions with you. This page stops at the layout.
