The Astrology spread yields insight into aspects of the current state of your life, reading into the planets' influence on your psyche.
As usual, this reading begins with the significator and ends with the outcome. Between the ends we analyse cards which stand for the planetary influences, one by one. The Moon card represents the influence of the home. Mercury shows the side of the intellect regarding one's interpersonal skills. Of course, Venus is the planet of love, and Mars is the planet of war. These two also represent the female and male energies respectively. The final two planets both relate to Mercury. Jupiter shows the financial side of business, regarding personal gains. Saturn represents the purely intellectual aspects of a person's life, or personal thoughts.
