While I appreciate the detailed explanation of the New Year tarot spread, I must argue that the card reading process should not be so rigidly prescribed. The essence of tarot lies in its intuitive and personal nature, not necessarily in following a fixed layout or strict guidelines. By emphasizing specific spreads and interpretations, we risk undermining the individual’s spiritual connection with the cards. Moreover, suggesting that certain cards are ‘better’ can impose a bias that detracts from the reader’s personal insight. Tarot should be more about introspective exploration rather than adhering to a set formula.
