In this chapter of the tarot course, we will see The Past Lives Spread What is it for? How to do a Past Lives Spread? With this reading, you will discover what afflicts you from a past life? what you have not resolved? what you need to learn in this life?
This is a tarot reading to face past lives and repair our soul, fears and pains. It is a reading to learn more and reveal those things that sometimes we cannot explain about ourselves.
There are people who believe that we have walked this planet before, and that we have had experiences prior to the current life we are living and that from them we bring certain information.
If you believe that you have certain interests, soul pains, patterns, illnesses, gifts or fears in this lifetime that are not grounded in anything, some teachers claim that these may be from another lifetime.
While some of our interests or fears we can pinpoint the time when they developed, others are somewhat unexplainable.
For example, you have a fear of water or fire, heights, animals, driving, any phobia, but your fear is not based on any specific event or memory.
Some would say that these fears are caused by past life experiences that have stayed with us on a spiritual, molecular or karmic level.
The truth is difficult to say, and whether or not you believe in past lives, you should know that the tarot allows us to reveal what it is that afflicts us in the current life.
This spread may reveal some information about yourself that you may not have known or confirm what you do know, you may see what you have not accepted or it may help you to remember.
It is worth noting that this spread is not only about fears or negative experiences. It can also be about positive experiences from a past life that have stuck with you.
For example, certain interests, desires, gifts, relationships or abilities may still be with you and perhaps that is what is reflected in the tarot spread.
How to do a past life tarot spread?
For this spread we will use 7 cards, which we will arrange in 3 rows.
- In the first row we will place 3 cards,
- Below it, we will place another 3 cards,
- And at the bottom of the second row we will place one card.
The reading is done from top to bottom, in the first row we will start with the middle card that represents the querent, then to the left and finally revealing the card on the right (2, 1, 3).
In the second row from left to right (4, 5, 6), and finally we will turn over the card of the third row (7).
How to interpret the spread of past lives?
Let’s look at the interpretation of the cards:
- Card 1: The card in the middle of the first row, is the card (that represents me in a relevant past life)
- Card 2: The card on the left, represents (something unresolved from that past life)
- Card 3: The card on the right indicates (how this past life is affecting me today)
- Card 4: In the second row, on the left, represents (why i need to complete this unresolved issue)
- Card 5: The middle card, represents (how i can complete this unresolved issue)
- Card 6: On the right, represents (an important lesson i must fully understand)
- Card 7: The final card, represents (an energy or characteristic from this past life that i must channel)
