Five Tarot Spreads to Inspire Business Clarity and Creativity
You’ve probably heard the phrase “business isn’t personal,” right? Well, I think that’s buuuullshit. Your business is personal… especially if you’re running something creative, intuitive, or built around your passions. And when things feel personal, the overwhelm and indecision hit differently. That’s where tarot can swoop in and help you untangle the mess.
I get it- tarot might not feel like a “serious” business tool, but hear me out. Tarot isn’t about predicting the future (sorry, no cards in the deck will tell you if you’ll go viral tomorrow). Instead, it’s a tool for perspective. It helps you ask the right questions and find answers within yourself you didn’t even know you had.
Here are five tarot spreads that can help you get unstuck, find clarity, and channel some fresh creativity into your work.
1. The Clarity Tarot Spread
When to use it: You’re spinning in circles and need to make a decision…fast.
This spread is a simple three-card layout:
Card 1: What’s the real challenge here?
Card 2: What’s holding me back?
Card 3: What’s my best next step?
Example: Let’s say you’re debating whether to launch a new offer or refine an old one. The cards might reveal that the “challenge” is your fear of failure, the “block” is perfectionism, and the “next step” is simply starting. It’s not about magic; it’s about uncovering what you already know deep down.
2. The Creativity Spark Tarot Spread
When to use it: You’re stuck in a creative rut and everything feels... blah.
Layout:
Card 1: What’s blocking my creativity?
Card 2: How can I unlock inspiration?
Card 3: What small action can I take today?
Example: Maybe you pull a card about rest, which reminds you that burnout is killing your ideas. The next card suggests trying something playful… like painting, dancing, or writing without an agenda. That final card? It might nudge you to take a damn break or do something fun instead of forcing your way out of the block.
3. The Alignment Tarot Spread
When to use it: You’re feeling out of sync with your work or questioning if you’re on the right path.
Layout:
Card 1: Where am I aligned in my business?
Card 2: Where am I out of alignment?
Card 3: How can I course-correct?
Example: If you’re juggling ten projects but only love two of them, the cards might tell you what you already suspect: drop what’s not working and lean into what lights you up. That’s not tarot “telling the future.” That’s just tarot calling you out.
4. The Vision Tarot Spread
When to use it: You’re planning your next steps but don’t know what you want the big picture to look like.
Layout:
Card 1: What does success feel like for me?
Card 2: What should I focus on in the short term?
Card 3: What long-term goal should I keep in mind?
Example: Success might “feel” like freedom, creativity, or making a real impact. If the short-term focus is about organizing your time and the long-term goal is building a community, you’ve just mapped out the foundation for your next big move.
5. The Energy Check-In Tarot Spread
When to use it: You’re tired, unmotivated, or just need a gut check.
Layout:
Card 1: What’s draining my energy right now?
Card 2: How can I refill my cup?
Card 3: What’s something small I can celebrate?
Example: This spread reminds you that sometimes you’re doing fine… you just need to take a breath. Maybe the “drain” is people-pleasing or staying up too late, and the “refill” is taking an afternoon off. Celebrating something small, like sending that email you’ve been procrastinating? That’s the real win.
