What the Spread Reveals
As you can see in the illustration, this spread entails five cards in total, four that showcase the energies for your Birthday and the coming year, related to Body, Mind, Heart, and Spirit. The fifth card is a special Message card that addresses your special Birthday Wish for yourself!To begin this spread, shuffle the cards carefully, spread them out in a long line in front of you, then allow your Higher Self to draw the five cards from the deck. This should be done carefully and with calm focus, while you meditate on the focus of each card. Focus on:
Card 1 - Your Body and Health
Card 2 - Your Mind and Intellect
Card 3 - Your Heart and Relationships
Card 4 - Your Spirit and Evolution
Card 5 - Your Special Birthday Wish
Laying out the cards
Either print out the Blessed Birthday layout page, or have it open on your computer screen with room in front of your desk or table for the five cards. As you draw the five cards, one by one, lay them on the table surface before you in the order outlined above, finishing with the fifth central card that is placed on the Victorian Birthday card image in the center. Begin with the first card in the upper left; the second card directly below it. Follow this with the third card in the upper right corner, and the fourth in the lower right side. Finish with the Special Wish card as you actually make a wish while drawing it.This spread will help you to both reflect and aspire, drawing in the growth and development that you exhibit today, on your Birthday - energies that you will further develop and work on in this coming year. It is helpful if you let your ego and conscious mind relax, you release any preconceived ideas about the correct choice, and just allow your Higher Self to speak to you through the cards you draw.
