A simple spread (example)

Introduction

This is a simple 7 card spread that could be useful in choosing your next partner, whether in a romantic, business or just a friendly, long term, type of relationship.

It can work very well but you have to use your intuition wisely, what does your gut tell you in other words. Don't use your head or heart with this spread.

Just lay your cards out in a line, left to right and 1 to 7 then use this example as your template. While shuffling do the following:- 
All you have to do is concentrate on a subject, a person or a question.

Deal the cards and let your intuition do the rest.
