The largest spread on the site. One card per month for the next twelve, read as a sequence rather than twelve separate readings — the shape of the year usually shows in where the Major Arcana cluster and where the reversals fall. Best drawn once, saved, and revisited.

How should I interpret cards that seem contradictory?
Read each card through the question assigned to its position. Contrasting cards can describe tension, alternatives, or a change in perspective rather than canceling each other out.
