How the seasonal tarot spread works

A seasonal tarot spread is a five-card reading drawn at a solstice or equinox for the three months until the next one. The five cards cover your spiritual theme, action, emotions and relationships, mind and logic, and wealth and health, so you can see which part of life needs attention this season and which can run on its own.

The 2026 summer solstice season on this page has ended. The current spread is the 2026 Autumn Equinox spread, which covers the autumn equinox to the winter solstice. Readings you saved for the summer season stay in your account.

The four turning points of the year

The year turns four times: the spring equinox (around March 20), the summer solstice (around June 21), the autumn equinox (around September 22) and the winter solstice (around December 21). Each starts a season of roughly three months, which is long enough for a reading to describe a direction and short enough to check it against what actually happens.

Each season has its own focus. Spring is about starting, summer about growth and visibility, autumn about harvest, balance and letting go, and winter about rest and taking stock.

The 5 positions

1. Spiritual theme: the lesson at the heart of the season, which ties the other four cards together.
2. Action: where to put your energy and what to finish.
3. Emotions and relationships: how your closest relationships and feelings are likely to move.
4. Mind and logic: decisions, plans and how you think things through.
5. Wealth and health: money, work resources and the care your body needs.

How to use it through the season

Draw once at the start of the season, write down one line for each card, and look at the notes again halfway through and at the end. A seasonal reading is most useful as a check-in: which card turned out to describe the season, and which area you ignored.

For a shorter view, the monthly tarot reading covers one month and the daily tarot gives one card a day.

Seasonal tarot spread FAQ

What is a seasonal tarot spread?

A seasonal tarot spread is a reading drawn at a solstice or equinox for the three months that follow. The one on this site uses five cards for your spiritual theme, action, relationships, thinking, and money and health.

When should I do a seasonal tarot reading?

Draw it at or soon after a solstice or equinox, once per season. Drawing again in the middle of the season usually adds noise; reviewing your notes from the first draw is more useful.

Is the seasonal tarot spread free?

Drawing the five cards is free. The full seasonal reading uses 30 credits after you log in, and you can come back to your saved cards and reading at any time that season.

How is it different from a monthly tarot reading?

A seasonal reading covers three months and always reads the same five areas of life, while a monthly reading looks at a single month. Use the seasonal spread for direction and the monthly one for timing within it.
