Children
10 cardsCategory: Children & Hobbies
A spread for when the querent is concerned about their older children.
Overview
This spread is used when the querent is concerned about older children — those who have already passed the period of growing up or even reached adulthood. All preliminary steps are performed as usual: a significator is chosen, in this case it is best for this role to be played by a card symbolizing the zodiac sign of the person you are asking Tarot about. Then nine cards are drawn and laid out according to the diagram.

How to Read
Choose a significator — a card representing the child (preferably by their zodiac sign). Place it in the center of the second row. Then shuffle the deck and draw 9 cards: card 1 at the top (spiritual development), cards 2 and 3 on either side of the significator (intellect and education), cards 4, 5, 6 — third row (social circle, friendships, feelings), cards 7, 8, 9 — bottom row (three facets of the future). Read the spread from top to bottom — from the inner world to external manifestations and prospects.
Tips & Advice
This spread works best for children who have already reached a conscious age. Read the three future cards (7, 8, 9) as a single story — they show the development of events over time. If card 1 (spiritual development) and card 6 (feelings) echo each other, this indicates deep inner harmony. Pay attention to the suits: a predominance of swords speaks to an intellectual focus, cups to emotional sensitivity.
