Hi Class,
 here is a new spread for you to try!    Let me know what you think!

The 21 card spread
 This is a spread i use when more details are needed. It consists of 21 cards, laid out in three rows of seven. It is read  vertically from left to right. the middle card is the basis to the whole reading..
1st line is the past leading up to the present, 2nd line  is the present leading up to the future and the third of course is the future.They are read straight across and form a storyline.
Then you read the cards horizontally in threes. this gives you more details into the reading
once more, look over the cards for combinations that may reveal even more.
You must lay out all 21 cards to do this reading, it might be wise to use the software, it saves space. Yes, it does take longer to read but it is good practice and will present a more detailed picture than the three card or celtic cross. On a good day it only takes half an hour at the most, its writing it out that takes the time ! lol I wrote out an example for you using xiyangs reading so you can see how it gives more details and exactly how it is read! Try it when you get a chance! I think you'll like it!

p.s. see following post.

Dear Xiyang, here is the reading i promised!

ok, i see that your ex is closing himself off to problems, he doesn't want to hear about it. it has something to do with legal papers and financial matters, someone wants to help him out, but he is wise not to accept the help because they will only try to take something back in return, something valuable to him.  He has learned this from past experience so he is holding tight to what he has and being practical about it.

First line-2 of swords,3 of pentacles,6 of pentacles, 7 of swords,2 of wands, 4 of pentacles,7 of cups
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see he still has hope and faith in the stars even though he has refused this offer because he is still able to balance  financially. I see a woman, who is kind and generous around him, possibly psychic, who will help him through this rough time. She is the center of the whole question. I also see alot of people around him.There is a man who is the father to this woman, who is wise and strong and possesses alot of power. He is very secretive about his activities. Next to him is the brother of the woman, a very kind, emotional man who is generous to a fault who will help him out if he'd only ask.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd line:-The Star, 4 of cups,2 of pentacles, queen of cups, The emperor,The high Priestess,King of cups
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see a strong powerful and forceful man who offers your boyfriend alot of money, enough to make all his wishes come true, if he would do something for him. I see there are a lot of lies and betrayal associated with all of this and because of the conflict with the family , i see this relationship comes to an end.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd line: King of Swords,10 of pentacles, knight of coins,9 of cups,page of swords, the Lovers, Death.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But there is more, now we read the cards horizontally!

i see that your ex is keeping a man who is promising to fulfill his hopes and dreams far away from him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st line-2 of swords,  The Star, King of swords
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see that he makes an offer involving some form of a contract and alot of money but you ex isn't interested.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd line-3 of pentacles, 4 of cups, 10 of pentacles
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see that your ex is able to balance financially and help others when he recieves this offer and so does not need it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd line-5 of pentacles, 2 of pentacles,knight of coins
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see that at the present time he thinks of this woman as a dream come true, one wjho can fulfill his hopes and wishes and is afraid someone will steal her away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4th line-6 of swords, queen of cups, 9 of cups
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see that the father of this woman is offering to help him out with his future but he is full of lies and deciet.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5th line-two of wands, The emperor, page of swords
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see your ex is trying to hold on tight to this relationship but there are too many secrets and hidden things going on in the background.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6th line-4 of pentacles, the high priestess, the lovers
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see that despite his love for her and kindness he shows her that this relationship is based on dreams and illusions and will not survive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But there's more! lol
                            Combinations
two Kings= legal matters
lovers and death-demise of a relationship
5 major arcana= fate is not in his hands

Hi Samantha,
I have had a look at this spread and I can see how this would give you a more detailed reading. I feel at this time that I am not ready to do this one, its not because it looks difficult but I dont feel confident enough yet.
I have saved it and will study it further....I am not one to give up on anything  

Rhuetobello you give such detailed information when you do readings well done    

Samantha, I really enjoying reading your spreads, I hope one day that I will be as good as you
