Happy Spring! I don’t know about you, but I spent yesterday doing some hardcore cleaning. I finally got all of the boxes/trash/nonsense out of my apartment that have been cluttering it up since I moved in and wow, does it ever make a difference! I didn’t realize how stressed out I was just being around all of the junk until it was gone!

To celebrate the start of spring, I wanted to come up with a tarot spread that served as a sort of post-winter check-in. The idea behind the “Bring Back Your Bloom” spread is that sometimes for whatever reason, things in our life fall by the wayside – whether it be a hobby, a habit, a friendship, or anything else like that. But sometimes while it might be hard to tell at the time, this is for the best. Maybe the hobby you had was taking up too much of your time (like when I was obsessed with multiplayer online games) or maybe the friendship has turned toxic. This spread is designed to help you figure out what part of your life you’ve been neglecting, why this has happened, and what you can do about it.

I know that sometimes it’s helpful to see an example of a spread being used, so I’ve put one together here!

The deck I’m using is The Linestrider Tarot by Siolo Thompson! The box is a gorgeous purple that I thought was perfect for spring. You can order it here ♥ (Amazon links are affiliate links! They’re not sponsored – it just means that if you order something, I make a tiny commission.)

So here’s how I would interpret this spread:

1. What I’ve been neglecting: The World. For me right now this means I’ve been neglecting to finish things, which is so true. I’ve started so many projects recently but I haven’t finished many of them at all.

2. Why: The Nine of Cups. I’ve been very content with the few accomplishments I HAVE achieved lately, so I’ve been more okay with taking things slow. I haven’t been rushing to do everything at once the way I have in past months.

3. What will happen if this continues: The Ten of Pentacles. Fulfillment. So it actually looks like this is a pretty good way to achieve my goals! While it might be slower than finishing one thing at a time, I’ll eventually get it all done.

4. How I can continue this way: Judgment. In this situation, this card means that I have to be honest when taking a look at the commitments I make and ones I’d like to make – will taking on a new project mean leaving another unfinished? What is it I really want to accomplish in the end? I need to regard my choices with a critical eye and make the decisions that will be best for me in the long run.

5. What will happen if this changes: The Knight of Wands. I have a lot of creative energy and if I can focus it on one thing, I’m sure to do it right. However, the knight to me suggests a little instability – I’m picturing it as sort of a pendulum. When things are going well, I’ll be on fire, but when things get tough my motivation might completely wane, leaving me unable to work on the project further.

6. How I can change it: The Page of Pentacles. Literally, all I’d have to do is just finish one project at a time. Get the results I want from one scenario and then continue on to the next one, and not take on anything new until my current list is finished.

So after looking at this reading, I would make a decision based on the possible outcomes. In this case, I’m going to continue to take things slow, even if it means not finishing the things I start right away. Starting a project at all means I’m more likely to finish it than if I wait to begin until I’ve done everything else on my list, so it’s better for me personally to juggle a few projects at a time! Plus that way if one gets tough and I’m not feeling it, I’ll at least have something else to work on to keep my productivity up.

How did you celebrate the start of spring? If you end up using this spread, I’d love to hear how it works for you! 😀
