The five pointed star spread


The five star spread is ideal when you want to find clarity with regards to a particular issue. This spread is from Murry Hope’s “The Way of the Cartouche” and I find that it is very helpful in doing an in depth reading regarding a particular issue. The order for laying out cards in a star spread is shown below. 



Position 1 indicates the nature of the question, while position 2 indicates why the question is being asked. Position 3 indicates factors influencing the issue or factors to be considered. Position 4 reveals what needs to be done or how one needs to handle the situation. The final card in position 5 reveals the outcome of the issue. If you want more clarification regarding a card in a particular position, simply draw another card from top of the pack and place it with the card you are seeking to clarify. This might give you more clues as to what is being revealed by the card in question.  


It is also important that the question is framed properly where you are asking about the final outcome of an issue. For example, it is not helpful to ask should I do “X” or “Y” regarding a particular matter. Instead you can ask what will be the outcome if I do “X” then a second star spread can be done asking about option “Y”. This will enable you to choose the option with the most favourable outcome. I sometimes draw another three cards after the 5th card when I want more clarity about the outcome. This can be helpful if when you want to expand your understanding of the indicated outcome.
