Horse Shoe Spread #2

 

Similar to the Horse Shoe #1, this variant provides insight on different levels. The first two cards begin the reading with the past and present, but then the cards switch to a different focus. Card #3 warns you about possible side effects that could accompany the future outcome, #7. The base card, #4 shows desirable or undesirable actions to take concerning the issue. The external environment specifically means the people around you and how they feel about what you are up to. Things which could cause setbacks are indicated in Card #6, another more specifically focused card than what is generally labelled the obstacle or challenge card in some other layouts.

4 of Wands

From the four great staves planted in the foreground there is a great garland suspended; two female figures uplift nosegays; at their side is a bridge over a moat, leading to an old manorial house.

Upright Meaning:

Country life, haven of refuge, a species of domestic harvest – home, repose, concord, harmony, prosperity, peace, and the perfected work of these.

 

 

 

 

Future Results You Should Consider
7 of Cups

Strange chalices of vision, but the images are more especially those of the fantastic spirit.

Upright Meaning:

Faerie favours, images of reflection, sentiment, imagination, things seen in the glass of contemplation – skrying; some attainment in these desires, but nothing permanent or substantial.

Feelings of Those Around You
Ace of Cups

Atop the waters are water-lilies; the hand reaches out from the cloud, holding in its palm the cup, from which four streams are pouring; a dove, bearing in its bill a cross-marked Host, descends to place the Wafer in the Cup; the dew of water is falling on all sides.

Reversed Meaning:

House of the false heart, mutation, instability, revolution.

 

 

 

Possible Delays
3 of Wands

A calm, stately personage, with his back turned, looking from a cliff's edge at ships passing over the sea. Three staves are planted in the ground, and he leans slightly on one of them.

Reversed Meaning:

The end of troubles, suspension or cessation of adversity, toil and disappointment.

 

 

 

Possible Future Outcome
The Devil

The devil holds the lovers, Adam and Eve in chains. This card represents the fall of man.
