The Pentagram Tarot Spread

Looking for a simple layout to use in your Tarot readings? Try the Pentagram Tarot Layout -- it uses five cards plus a Significator, and calls upon the five aspects of the pent -- Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Spirit as its guiding forces. It's basic enough that a beginner can try it, and focused enough that more experienced readers can use it as well.

This is one of the first layouts I created when I started reading Tarot cards, and I've used it for about ten years. I've found it highly useful as a guidance tool and for decision-making issues.

So, tell us -- what's your favorite layout to use, and why?
