Month Ahead Tarot Spread – 5 Cards And Super Advice

Hi Musers, I hope you all had a great week. I’ve said this to lots of people but I can’t believe it’s March, this year is flying by. As I explained in my list of favourite tarot creators, two of my favourite Instagram tarotists are @notsomysticaltarot and @owlandbonestarot. I do @notsomysticaltarot‘s spread of the day most days and I ALWAYS do @owlandbonestarot‘s week ahead spreads. So when she put up her month ahead tarot spread for March I just had to try it, and boy was it powerful!

I’ve tried a month ahead tarot spread from several creators in the past but this is the first one that really resonated with me. One thing I have learned in the last year reading tarot is that if you use the right spread and the right deck at the right time your reading will be much easier. Of course building your intuition to be able to do that takes time and I still don’t always get it right. In this case, I was sold on the spread, and after some deliberation I decided on the Tarot of Sacred Kingdoms by @earthmoonmagick.

Disclaimer

I want to take this opportunity to say that I know I mention a lot of creators and link to a number of books and decks on this page. I want to be clear that I do not get any commission or incentive for anything I mention here. I am scrupulous about linking to any products I mention, especially decks, because I find it infuriating when I see a beautiful deck on Instagram and the poster doesn’t give us its name or creator.

New Month, New Energy

I’ve gone through a rough time recently and I’m hopeful that this month will be better. On the good news front, I have made it to the front of the queue for long term psychotherapy on the NHS. I start on Tuesday and even though I’m kinda terrified I know it has to be done. I am carrying around far too much emotional baggage and trauma and I need to deal with it as hard as it will be. I’ve also downloaded a habit tracker to take baby steps towards self care each day.

Leave Behind – The Hermit. Introspection and time to myself is useful, more than that, it’s essential but it’s time to stop the navel gazing for now. I have analysed and over analysed and got stuck in my own head. Enough already! I am the queen of overthinking and over planning, now is a time for action.

Carry With You – Five of Wands. This card is about competition and struggle but rather than several people fighting as is traditional, there is only one person in this image. I think it points to inner struggles. I need to sort out the different aspects and priorities in my brain that compete for attention. I must decide what I really want and move forward with it for now.

Outward Focus – Knight of Wands. Once I’ve decided what I want, I need to move towards it with strength and passion. I am studying a lot of spiritual topics right now and I think a big problem is my desire to know about everything all at once! I feel strongly that this card and the carry with you card are linked. If I try to do everything and have tons of competing priorities I’ll make a half-assed job of them all. Astrology, pendulums, the Rooted Woman book, or tarot. Which to choose?

Inward Focus – Five of Pentacles. I’ve been so stressed I’ve been neglecting my inner self. Now is the time to ditch the scarcity mindset and embrace abundance. I have so many blessing and this month I should celebrate them. I am starting with more physical changes but I need to enjoy all the good things in my life.

Energy For The Month – Page of Cups. I need to bring a child’s creativity and way of becoming completely absorbed in an activity to bear this month. When I am doing something I need to throw myself into it and lose track of time. I’ve struggled with this for a long time as my depression and exhaustion makes focus hard. I will find a way to rediscover my passions.
