About this ebook
"Conversational, friendly, and fun, makes this book accessible to all levels of readers."
Despite what you may have heard about tarot reading, you don't have to be psychic to do one. There are a few simple things you need to know to start doing readings for yourself and your friends in no time.
(Table of Contents below)
This book includes spreads that answer a variety of useful questions:
- Simple spreads for beginners, including the one- and two- card spreads.
- Popular spreads like Horseshoe and Celtic cross.
- More specific spreads like "Does he love me?" and "How to get my ex back".
Spreads are easy to accomplish and include helpful pictures to give people more of an idea of what to focus on.
But this book is not only about spreads, it provides great advice with EXPLANATIONS AND EXAMPLES that show how something should be done and clarify what many people might have been doing wrong; e.g. framing questions correctly.
Stories in the book are very relatable and show real people; how they are often not even aware of small items that actually create their problems. And the real life sample readings tie together everything that has been said.

Chapter 1. Introduction
My name is Ian Eshey. A few years back I published a short book entitled, 6 Short Stories – Learn Tarot in a Day.
The topic of the book was teaching people how to learn tarot quickly, and I was quite surprised by how many people found it helpful.
My take in that book was to explain the natural progressions in the cards, instead of trying to memorize each and every nuance of every possible meaning of each one of 78 tarot cards. Thousands of people have purchased the book, and I began wondering if there was there more I could do.
Obviously there are quite a few books on learning tarot, but it seems to me that many people prefer a simplified approach. Not only are they able to read the cards in a fraction of the time the traditional learning method would take, but they have a much more satisfying experience overall. Finally, it dawned on me…
People like to play.
If you make an experience interesting, you get more and more immersed in it. It really is as simple as that. When starting with tarot, I struggled with another particular problem. For a year or more, I used a three-card spread exclusively. I was using it for each and every situation that warranted me enlisting the help of the cards to clear my thoughts and search for insights.
I don’t have to tell you it quickly got boring. I got the insights I needed (to some extent), but it started to feel like a routine instead of that beautiful sense of wonder that made me start loving the cards in the first place.
Of course, I experimented with various more complex spreads I found in the books and over the Internet. But more often than not they all had a rigid structure to memorize and rigid steps to take, which took most of the fun out of it.
Then I finally got it.
There are general spreads and specialized spreads. General spreads try to help you look at the problem from every possible direction, and specialized spreads guide you in considering the dimensions important for one particular situation.
What they have in common is this: they each ask questions. This is profound. Each card in a spread is posing a new question, providing your subconscious with more depth to investigate the situation. The more the spread is specialized, the more specific questions it prods you to think about.
So when reading cards, ask your own questions!
Of course, there are guidelines on how to do it, and some approaches are more fruitful than others. But luckily the rules
become obvious as you try more and more spreads, both for yourself and others, however imperfect your first attempts may be.
In the following chapters you will find some common spreads to get you started, and then the spreads I use for most common problems I get asked about all the time.
Try these spreads. View them as an example of how to actually uncover the layers of the problem. Feel free to tweak these spreads more and more as you feel more and more confident. You will quickly understand the pattern and uncover the whole new dimension of joy with your cards.
For those of you who are fairly new to Tarot and not exactly familiar with meanings of each card, I recommend that you get a book or at least a reference card on that. To start and have great fun reading the cards, you don’t need to memorize each card but you really need to be able to look up what each card represents. To help you get started I have prepared Quick Tarot Primer
free companion booklet, you can download it here:
http://HowToLearnTarot.com/index.php/spreads-bonus
It’s short (about 30 pages) and to the point, so you both get a head start and you have the most common meanings of all 78 tarot cards handy while playing with the spreads. When you decide you need a proper book, my own 6 Short Stories: Learn Tarot in a Day
will suit you fine (check the description and the chapters at the end of this book), but frankly any good book will do.
And before we dive into the cards, there is one thing I have learned that you might choose to remember. Most of us sometimes feel we have more than our share of problems in this world. But at the same time life is both a struggle and a game. You can fight your way through it, or you can simply play.
The choice is yours.
Good Tarot Spreads Make You Think
Tarot beginners all start with basic questions. What makes a good tarot spread? Are the most common spreads always the way to go? And how can you create your own custom spread?
Some tarot spreads have become so popular that most people use them. Those spreads somehow work better than the others. But what does it mean for a spread to be good?
A good spread will help you perform a good and thorough reading. The spread will give you additional insight on the question or problem at hand, and open new lines of thought for you. It is important to remember that not every spread is appropriate for every situation.
Let’s see an example of the two of the most popular spreads.
Past-present-future is a pretty simple and popular spread. It’s a rather general-type spread, with three cards simply giving you insights on the past, present, and future of the question you are reading
