Tarot Spread for a Full Moon Eclipse
Get clear on where you’ve been, how far you’ve come, where you’re going now, and how to make the most of a full moon eclipse.
Lunar eclipses come with many gifts: they help us get clear on our feelings, shine light into the shadows, and let go of old patterns for good.
This full moon eclipse tarot spread will act as a roadmap to show you how you’ve recently evolved and the challenges you’ve overcome, as well as where you’re going now and how to make the most of it.
How to Prepare for the Reading
On the morning, day, or evening of the full moon eclipse, sit comfortably. Perhaps light a candle and some incense. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Relax your body and center your mind.
While holding your tarot deck in both hands, call on the Divine in any way that feels right to you. Silently or aloud, say or think something like, “Thank you for giving me clear and helpful insight into my personal evolution. Show me the wisdom for my unfolding this full moon eclipse reveals.”
How to Arrange the Tarot Spread
Shuffle your deck in any way and for any length of time.
Cut the deck once, twice, or three times. Then remove the top seven cards, arranging them from left to right, as pictured above.
How to Interpret the SPread
Card One: Where You Started
This card will show you the challenges have you been facing, and the areas and ways have you been feeling the tug to learn, grow, heal, or improve.
Card Two: How You Evolved
This card will reveal how you have recently changed for the better: the feelings that shaped you, the lessons that taught you, and the ways your most painful challenges carved greater wisdom into your being.
Card Three: Who You Are Now
Now that you’ve completed the narrative arc of the first two cards, this card shows you who you are now: where you stand and what the view looks like from here.
Card Four: How to Move Forward
Now that you’ve come out on the other side, this card shows you how to crush it as you go forth from here.
Card Five: Light Shining On Shadows
This card hints at the hidden emotions that are playing a role in your ongoing journey: things you will learn about yourself that will surprise you and cosmic secrets that are being whispered in your ear.
Card Six: Old Patterns You’ve Released
This card will show you the ruts you’re even now busting out of and the tired old programming that is or is about to be in your rearview mirror, quickly fading from view.
Card Seven: The Culmination and Completed Arc
All things considered, here’s where this journey will take you and what to expect moving forward.
Even these cards will offer guidance and direction, you won’t see the whole journey: you never will. Don’t rush anything. Connect with the earth, integrate the lessons you’ve learned, and breathe into the wisdom you received.
When you remember to meditate, connect with nature, and consult with the Divine, you’ll know what you need to know when you need to know it. Consciously, intentionally synchronize with divine timing so you can rest when it’s time to rest and act when it’s time to act.

A strange thing happened recently. The days leading up, my husband’s work place , his boss had a neighbor with flea infestation. Now we are battling the fleas in our carpeted home and 2 cats! We are intensively cleaning, vacuuming, flea combing cats, using diatomaceous earth powder, flea meds. It’s been a major project for my husband, who never believes in cleaning and clearing. I did a card and oracle and pendulum reading high up in the divine and the intuitive message was surprising. I asked about why he got bitten but why I didn’t even get one flea bite. The answer was that he needed to go through this for his clearing. My husband is a regular non woo-woo dude, who has no interest in spiritual stuff. The reading showed that I was in a self imposed isolation and it limited me. The reading was a little disappointing, showing me all my weaknesses and inadequacies. But the cards repeatedly showed success and achievement of goals despite my lack of support and connections. It showed an uphill battle and frustration. I felt like the flea thing symbolized this. Despite all this, my readings and visions have been spot .
Redhen, my reading also showed honestly where there was discord. It was definitely a shining-light-in-the-shadows type thing.
Thank you Tess
This spread was fantastic, I used Vikings Tarot deck and the messages were so spot on, they were just perfect. I have spent the last 2 years in a personal development coaching program, serving people, when that is not my Truth at all. I am here to help horses, I have done my whole life. It used to be that others told me stick to horses, don’t work with people, and I used to say there are plenty of people helping people. I still say that now, but now I choose not to work with people because Horse is my Truth.
I started this cycle trying to prove I was good enough by slaving away for people. I ended this and now I follow my Heart, and funnily enough, card 7 has a huge horse head on it 🤣
Thank you, appreciate you, love you 🖤🤍🙌
