Back to Reality Tarot Spread


This tarot spread is for the students returning to school and for the people who are returning to work after having a summer vacation or Labor Day weekend here in the States. I got inspiration from the song in the Honey Nut Cheerios commercial that played throughout August in the United States (watch the commercial here).


The Back to Reality tarot spread is a quick four-card spread to help you ground into the transition. It focuses on your current thoughts (such as excitement, nervousness, anxious etc) and feelings surrounding going back to school or work,  challenges you may face that could hold you back (such as time management, workload etc.), some practical advice to make the year most successful, and what will help you feel emotionally engaged, motivated, and positive throughout the transition. Let's take a look at the spread!



  1. Current Approach – How you’re currently thinking about or handling your return to school/work. Are you nervous, anxious, excited? What is your biggest fear or worry about this transition?

  2. Biggest Obstacle – The main challenge that could hold you back (time management, confidence, workload, etc.).

  3. Strategy for Success – A practical step or focus area that will help you perform well and stay on track. It can be anything such as taking notes on your laptop and remembering to back up your computer, be a little bit more spontaneous or plan things out more, or even breaking down big tasks into smaller tasks.

  4. Motivation & Mindset – What will help you stay emotionally engaged, motivated, and positive through the transition. This card can be an affirmation, mantra, or even something you can look forward to in the transition! Such as social gatherings, mixers, pep rallies, or even the weekend!


Let me know if you take this spread for a drive! I would love to hear your thoughts on this tarot spread!

Happy Back to Reality, everyone!

  Hey hey my people! I have a spread for you today since we are nearing the final stages of Mercury Retrograde! I thought the collective could use another Mercury Retrograde Shadow Work tarot spread. Has something been drudge up through this retrograde? Perhaps an ex resurfaced, there's been communication snafus, or travel plans gone awry. Perhaps some past trauma, which you thought you had healed, now demands your attention? This spread will help you find the root cause, and hopefully you will feel lighter, or at least, your tarot deck will entertain you by doing this spread. Without further ado, here is the tarot spread! For transparency purposes, ChatGPT helped me develop this spread. I created the graphic using Canva. I have no intention on ripping anyone off. If I have ripped off your spread with ChatGPT, please let me know at samstarotbiz@gmail.com   and I'll take this post down! 1. The Surface: What is Mercury Retrograde bringing up to the surface? This card tells you ...

The Queen of Swords Isn't a B*tch! A Post About the Queen of Sword's "Nasty" Reputation

  Introduction Most beginning tarot readers (and some “professionals") see the Queen of Swords as a cold-hearted, bitchy woman.  As a professional tarot reader of 18 years and studying the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot for the last 22+ years, I can assure you she is NOT a bitch. Stick around, because hot tarot tea is coming in! I will die on this hill that the Queen of Swords is not a bitch. She is one of the tarot cards that is misunderstood. In this day of age, I see more young people (especially young adult women) adapting the Queen of Swords persona (and that’s wonderful!). She is “F*ck the patriarchy” but abides by the law. She champions those wronged, unfairly treated, or unable to speak for themselves. She is selective with who she shares her empathy with. Yes, she is empathetic.  She uses logic to determine who deserves her empathy. She doesn’t give into every sob story. She knows not everyone with a sob story is telling the truth. She is discerning and can spot a charl...

Inner Light Tarot: Deck Review

-

  Today, I'm doing something a little different. I'm reviewing a tarot deck I bought myself two months ago. I am reviewing the Inner Light Tarot deck by Serena Borsella. My initial interest in this deck stemmed from my search for a gentle, feminine deck to add to my collection. And this deck definitely delivers on the gentleness, as I have been working with this deck for the last two months! I'm writing this review with my neurodivergency in mind and reviewing this deck for other neurodivergents who may be interested in this deck. I am not affiliated with Llewellyn or Amazon and have purchased this deck with my own funds.
