12 Houses is a classic layout for Tarot cards, going back to the astrological houses of the horoscope in the natal chart. It is universal and ideal when you need to answer not a couple of questions, but a whole list on key areas of life, or when the client himself does not know what to ask and is interested in a forecast for the future.
The “12 Houses” layout is traditionally performed on the eve of a birthday (give or take a week) or on New Year’s Day. It belongs to the group of layouts for the distant future and helps to assess prospects regarding health, family, love, finances, work, as well as see how things will be for the husband and child.
The “12 Houses” layout, unlike the natal chart in astrology, which is something unshakable and unchangeable, still shows a portrait of the individual at the moment here and now. It's the same as if we look at the natal chart under the influence of transits. You can also make a layout similar to the solar horoscope. The solar chart is constructed at the moment when the Sun enters the same degree as it was at the birth of a person, i.e. on his birthday (plus or minus 1-2 days). And this will be a forecast of events for the coming year, starting from one birthday to the next. This alignment shows which areas are important for a person during this period and what events await him. In astrology, houses show an event layer, the “12 houses” layout was born thanks to the union of Tarot and astrology, and this is an excellent complex layout. Houses are areas of life, cards indicate how things will be in these areas, what events will happen. The symbolism of the 12 houses in the horoscope describes any event in all states from beginning to end, while indicating where the roots are, where the goal is, and where the opposition is.
The layout uses the entire deck. You can, of course, perform it only on the Major Arcana, but using the entire deck you can see areas that require increased attention, those areas of life in which key events await a person. The Minor Arcana mostly point to the everyday course of life. That’s why, when reading the layout, the first thing we do is pay attention to those houses where the Major Arcana lie.
We lay out according to the scheme, for each position there are 3 cards, because By laying out only one at a time, you will most likely have to drag out additional cards for commentary and more detailed coverage of the situation.
You can lay out the cards as you see fit: in a circle, in a line, in a column, but the most obvious way is to make a diamond shape, because this makes it easy to highlight the angular houses (1, 4, 7, 10), which are the most significant in the horoscope.

For what questions can the “12 Houses” layout be used?
1. Personality analysis. This layout best describes a person, because... Initially, a natal chart is a portrait of a person.
2. Relationship analysis can be viewed in different ways:
As an objective portrait of a partner
As a subjective portrait of a partner with the request “Why did this person appear in my life? Who is he to me?
Analysis for two partners - looks like two layouts on different decks.
3. Marriage horoscope, family portrait.
4. Event slice on here and now.
5. Forecasting for a period from a month to a year. The periods for which the cards are valid are set before the start of the layout.
6. Legal issues.
7. Choosing a profession before entering a university.
8. Buying real estate or a car.
9. Moving, changing jobs.
10. Search for the missing item.
11. Self-analysis, self-knowledge.
12. General diagnostics in cases where the client finds it difficult to formulate a question and simply asks to tell fortunes for the future.

Scheme and positions of the “12 Houses” layout

1. Personality, character, appearance, health, energy level.
2. Financial situation, property, prospects for financial well-being that he is able to earn on his own.
3. Contacts, communication, news, regular trips, brothers and sisters.
4. Home, relatives, depths of the soul, genetic diseases, karma, real estate.
5. Love and sexual relationships, creation, creativity, children, recreation, entertainment.
6. Responsibilities, health, daily needs, service, workplace, where a person spends his energy, as well as health problems at the level of the clinic and outpatient treatment.
7. Partnership, marriage, enmity, competition.
8. Critical situations, dangers, income from other people (spouse, business partner), sex.
9. Education, travel, expanding horizons, religion, philosophy.
10. Career, recognition, contacts with the law and authorities.
11. Friends, hopes, plans, fulfillment of dreams, patrons.
12. Prison of the soul and body, secret connections, murky affairs, internal burden, dreams, subconscious, occult knowledge, having a lover, breaking the law, mental hospital, prison, the afterlife, self-sacrifice, health problems at the level of hospital and inpatient treatment, isolation, imprisonment, hospitalization, emigration, arrest, secret enemies.
13. Advice. Or as a result of the year.

This is a short diagram and is worth printing out as a reminder. Below we will analyze all these concepts in more depth, so that when reading the layout you will not have difficulties understanding all the nuances and subtleties.

To fully work with the “12 Houses” layout, you will need at least an initial understanding of the basics of astrology.
What is “home”? Zodiac signs are located in the sky, and houses are tied to a specific place. During the day, due to the rotation of the Earth, the Zodiac Signs alternately rise above the horizon and also set alternately. The point of the ecliptic ascending at the moment of birth of a person is called the Ascendant. This point is most strongly tied to the personality, through it a person manifests himself most clearly; it is the Ascendant that determines the first impression that a person makes on others. The Ascendant is the “I”, the personality. The opposite point of the setting Zodiac Sign is the Descendant, the “You” point. It shows how a person perceives the world around him, what he expects from the outside and how he reacts to its manifestations. In the natal chart, these 2 points mark the beginning of the First and Seventh Houses.
Also among the key points of the horoscope is the Axis of the Heavenly Meridian - the projection onto the sky of the meridian on which a person was located at the time of birth. The lowest point is IC (Imum Coeli, Depth of the Sky) and the highest point is MC (Medium Coeli, Midheaven). These 2 points also describe a person’s individuality: his roots (IC) and where he will strive, the peak of his manifestation in the outside world and his destination (MC). These are the 4th and 10th Houses of the horoscope.
1, 7, 4, 10 – corner houses, which are considered the most important in the natal chart.
The horizontal axis Ascendant-Descendant is the axis of meetings “I” - “You”, it answers the questions “Who am I?” and “Who am I with?”
The vertical axis IC – MC – “From” and “Where”. 4 Home is a mother, family, ancestral ties, traditions, what is absorbed with mother’s milk, home, karma - everything that a person receives from his family. The 10th House is how a person can manifest himself as much as possible and most fully.
The horizontal and vertical axes form the basis of the house system. They divide the entire map into 4 sectors, each of which in turn is divided into 3 parts, and this is how we get 12 houses of the horoscope.
The horizontal axis divides the horoscope into 2 hemispheres: lower and upper. The lower hemisphere is associated with instincts, the subconscious, impulses, behavioral stereotypes, unconscious reactions and everything that our parents instilled in us. In the Upper Hemisphere, a person acts consciously.
The vertical axis also divides the horoscope into 2 hemispheres: eastern and western. The eastern hemisphere starts from the Ascendant point and ends at the Descendant point. Here is everything that is connected with a person’s personality. Houses - 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12.
The Western hemisphere begins with the Descendant - everything that is connected with society is located here, how a person reacts to other people and how he communicates with them. Houses - 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

The lower hemisphere is impulses, instincts, the unconscious. It is more connected with a person’s subconscious, with his unconscious reactions, behavioral stereotypes that were laid down by his parents or developed by him in childhood.
The upper hemisphere is where a person acts consciously.

As we see in the figure, thanks to this division we get 4 quadrants. Combining what we already know about the properties of hemispheres we obtain the following characteristics:
The first quadrant is reactions, impulses that come from the deep “I” of a person.
The second quadrant is instincts, something developed in childhood, an unconscious reaction to society.
The third quadrant is thinking, understanding the world, consciously determining priorities, developing one’s own worldview, and consciously reacting to society.
The fourth quadrant is a conscious attitude towards oneself, the process of self-education, self-improvement, personal growth and transformation. That is why occult practices, solitude, meditation, and monasticism belong to this area.

A classic tarot card spread that dates back to the 12 houses of the tarot. It is very convenient when you need to conduct a detailed analysis of a person you are interested in, and is generally universal if you need to answer not two or three, but a whole series of a wide variety of questions.

First layout of the 12 houses of Tarot

The first and simplest option is to select the Major Arcana from the deck, mix them and place them in twelve positions, suppose, according to the following scheme:

They can be laid out either in a circle or in a rectangle, from left to right and from right to left, starting from the top, bottom, from the left or right corner - it’s up to you. This “diamond” design is more convenient in that it is possible to distinguish “corner houses” (1, 4, 7, 10), which are considered the most important.

The meaning of the 12 houses of the Tarot is:

• personality, interests,
• money,
• relatives, neighbors; pets, close travel,
• marriage, home; in general agreements, contracts,
• children; also pleasures, leisure,
• workplace; also health problems,
• partnerships,
• sex; physical death (alien); health problems (own); occult activities; inheritance,
• long journeys; religion, spiritual work,
• career, professional growth in general,
• fulfillment of hopes; friends, patrons,
• secret connections; health problems, occult activities.

The thirteenth card, which is placed in the middle and opened last, represents the result of all fortune-telling, as well as advice on how to behave in the near future.

We lay out twelve houses:

• First house – personality: Judgment (XX). A complete revolution in all previous ideas, but the card is good for the creative manifestation of personality: you have your “I”, it can do something that is inaccessible to others, so give it free rein, because it can ignite others and attract them to your side, and generally LEAD others with you, because Judgment is a card of awakening.
• The second house is money. The Jester (0) found himself in this position, which means that you don’t expect money in the near future, but at the same time this is advice: don’t think about it, but just do your job - after all, you have some business ! - and then the money will come by itself.
• Third house - friends, neighbors. Carriage (Chariot, VII): alas, friends will change, the old ones will no longer be there - they will scatter in different directions around the world, but new ones will appear, and for a long time, so there is no need to despair, but you need to get used to it.
• The fourth house is marriage, family. Hanged Man (XII). Well, life is life: the ideals that existed before will no longer exist, the person you love will no longer be such (and it’s better to leave him alone), and in general the question of marriage/divorce is better to postpone for now for three years.
• Fifth house – Moon (XVIII). Children, leisure. There is nothing definite here yet, so try everything, gain experience, and keep what you like for the future. What captivates you will then create a bridge for you to communicate with your future or existing children.
• Sixth house – Lord (IV). Work: at work you need to show yourself as a person who is ready for anything. If you need to scrub the floors, we'll scrub them. If we become a director, we will become a director. We will learn everything and show everywhere that we know how to work and study.
• The seventh house is the Hermit (IX). Partner (beloved girl): this place is still vacant, there is no real life partner and there won’t be for another three years (see position 4). So don't worry, just live and wait.
• Eighth house – Priestess (II). How should you treat a woman in general? A - try to penetrate her essence, find out what she wants, how she would like to see you, and try to become like that. (This also applies to women - as advice on what to do with your man.)
• Ninth House – White Card. Travel, as well as spiritual work. With the White Card in this position of the alignment, this is a question of a rather distant future, that is, sooner than five years from now, you shouldn’t think about it at all. So live your life simply as you live - and keep in mind that this is a “draft” for now, and we will write a white paper later.
• Tenth house – Lovers (VI). It’s a matter of career, that is, professional self-realization. With such a card in this position, the first and most important thing is to find a job that you like, then it will bring money and there will be an incentive for further development. If you don’t like the work, then nothing will happen.
• Eleventh house – Mistress (III). In the Tarot reading, she means the fulfillment of hopes, she is also patron friends. Trust a woman who may be older than you - she will help you in a situation that you cannot handle on your own, and then everything will go as it should.
• Twelfth House – High Priest (V). “Secret connections”: this concept has many meanings, but in this case it means that you need a teacher, a mentor, a person who will guide and correct you for some time.
• The thirteenth card is advice, it is also the result of all fortune telling: Moderation (Arcanum XIV). This is the Angel of Time, who advises not to rush, give yourself time, wait until the situation is formed and everything becomes possible. Every business must mature. If some information is correct, then the cards repeat it twice and thrice. And in this Tarot card layout, the situation of waiting and patience prevails in almost every position.

So - calm and patience, my friends, there will be a holiday on your street.

Second layout of the 12 Tarot houses - 1 way

Sometimes, when you lay out the cards like this and explain everything, a person suddenly starts asking about completely different things. Here, of course, you can mix all the cards again and get down to business with a new one, or you can use the old layout of Tarot cards, I mean the previous layout of Tarot cards for twelve houses, to get all the necessary information.

Two methods are used for this.

The first method is commentary: if something is not clear to us, then we can draw an additional card, or even two or three, from the remaining deck (preferably from the Small ones) so that they explain the essence of the matter to us.

Take, for example, the second house in the previous tarot card reading: money. The jester who finds himself in this position sarcastically tells us that we can’t count on money in the near future. But what to do, especially if they are desperately needed?

Draw a comment card. The Five of Cups falls out: a person looks in despair at the fallen cups and thinks that he will no longer have anything good in life. However, this card is actually more favorable than sad: don’t despair, she says, you still have everything ahead of you. You just need to abstract yourself from your gloomy thoughts and tune in to the future, and it will bring you both money and happiness.

And if the questioner is interested in how things will be with his parents?

Here the rule for the layout of the 12 houses of the Tarot is as follows: the fourth house is responsible for the mother, and the tenth is responsible for the father. In the fourth house we have the Hanged Man (XII), which may indicate that the mother will have to learn something new for herself, encounter some kind of surprise, as a result of which her views on life will change greatly. Which way? Let's comment.

Five of Wands: she will understand that all her worries and efforts (to save up, say, money for her funeral) are not worth a damn, and that she still has time and opportunities to discover something new in this world - Yes, at least learn Chinese.

In the position of the father (House X) we have the card of Lovers (Arcanum VI) - you have a good father, who understands, and your mother loves. What awaits him? Commentary card: Ten Denarii. Well, there’s nothing to say here: honor and respect from those around him, and in general everything in his life turned out the way he wanted. One can only envy such a person.

How will things be for the children?

Let's look at the fifth house: Arcana of the Moon (XVIII). Either you don’t have children, or they are somewhat “out of this world” (maybe they have a poetic nature), or you simply don’t understand them, and for you they are a sealed book. And what to do with them?

We draw a commentary card: King of Swords. Well, the card is powerful and quite pedagogical, appealing to intelligence and cunning; but at the same time, he is also a person who can and should be entrusted with working with a child. What kind of person is this? Let's move on to the second comment.

Four of Wands. So this is your grandmother! Maybe a mother, or an aunt, or one of the ancestors “one generation away” from your child, with whom he has good contact. So she can teach him a lot that you are not able to teach him. Do you understand everything?

Well, and to illustrate this way of drawing out comments, let's look at a card in the 12th house (“secret affairs”), meaning the presence of a lover, breaking the law or occult activities.

There lies the High Priest, who is also the Priest (V), that is, the teacher: this card often falls out to group leaders and in general to teachers of hermetic disciplines - astrology, Tarot, biocorrection, etc. So, if you have been dealt such a card, then you should think about enrolling in a course in one of these disciplines, because you have the ability, and the rest is a matter of technique. Just in case, let's ask for a comment on the XII house.

As a comment, the Three of Swords fell out, which is sometimes called “three bad things,” because a person has too many problems that prevent him from doing what he wants. According to the rules, now you should draw three more cards to find out what these problems are, but I will not do this, because they are already clear: this is 1) lack of money, 2) misunderstanding on the part of the husband (wife, household members) and 3) own moral unpreparedness.

So I won't rush you. Wait, think about it. Understand your finances and family relationships. But: with such abilities as yours, mastery of the technique can be very helpful in solving many everyday problems - why miss this opportunity?

Second layout of the 12 houses of the Tarot - method 2

The second way of working with the same layout, when you are asked additional questions, is called “harmonics” (this also comes from astrology) and consists of the following.

Let's say you laid out twelve houses for yourself or for some lady and told her everything. And she suddenly asks:

– But my husband: how will he manage with work, with money, with trips abroad?

– One person borrowed a large amount of money from me and won’t give it back. What should I expect here and how best to proceed?

Here, again, it is not necessary to make a new Tarot card layout and analyze everything from the very beginning. Remaining with the same twelve houses (I will use the Tarot card layout already given above), you simply renumber the houses: if you are interested in the husband, then this is the seventh house, “partner”, you just simply take it for the first and start counting from it .

In the seventh house we had a Hermit (IX), which in itself says that the husband is having a hard time; However, let's get back to the questions. How will his job be? We look at the sixth house from the Hermit, that is, XII, basically a Tarot layout of 12 houses: the High Priest lies there (V), that is, it is better for him to engage in teaching work, or be a bishop (Greek “overseer” or, as they now say, “supervisor”) , if taken literally: do nothing yourself, but lead others.

How will he manage with money? This is the second house from the Hermit, the eighth in the original Tarot card layout: the Priestess card (II), the feminine principle, in this case - oh, what a subtle question! - do not do anything on the visible plane, but arrange so that other people themselves offer him money... Perhaps this borders on crime, but there are no other ways to get money - or let him go to a fortune teller himself to analyze all possible options , for which we do not have time in this case.

“I borrowed a large amount of money.” Money is the second house of the original 12 house Tarot Spread, where we have the Fool (0). We take it as the first one and consider: A buffoon in this case is already bad, it’s money wasted; second house from the Fool (“money of money”, that is, profit) – Chariot (VII), a period of change when nothing is clear. Third house, “friends of money” (who can help) – The Hanged Man (XII), that is, students, subordinates... Or a lesson for you, madam. No, there is little hope.

Eighth house from the Jester: White card, that is, no Space and no political events will help return the money. Twelfth house: “secret connections”, mafiosi, informal structures, anything like that? But there is a card of Judgment (XX), that is, contacting them is more expensive for yourself, you will lose your head. Maybe through a regular court? Let's look at the card in the 7th house from the Jester (Libra, seventh sign, “justice”): Priestess (II), which in this position involves either very subtle work with lawyers at several levels of their career ladder, or work on oneself, which ultimately in the end will only lead to the realization of a simple cosmic truth: if we ONLY lost money, then we got off lightly...

So it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to save money in such a situation.

All other positions are looked at in the same way: we need to find out what will happen to the children - we take the fifth house as the first and start counting from it; how the boss will behave - the tenth house (the boss is the same father in the archetypal sense), and so on.

Second layout of the 12 houses of Tarot - 3rd method

An even more complex modification of the same Tarot card layout, intended for fairly experienced fortune tellers. It lies in the fact that in each of the 12 positions already familiar to us, not one card is placed, but “as many as you can grab,” so that the entire deck can be laid out in them. That is, there can be two or twenty cards in one position, and they should be interpreted as a “story in pictures.”

But for now we won’t complicate our task so much, but put three cards in each position: 1) how things are, 2) what are the trends and 3) advice on what to do.

The thirteenth position (in the center) is not posted.

We will not analyze this version of the “horoscope” in detail, because even the simplest example from practice would take up too much space in the description. Those who wish can try this method themselves.

New Year's holidays are coming soon. It's time to find out what the coming year has in store for us. A complete forecast for all areas of life is given by such a simultaneously simple and complex layout. Sex, love, marriage, relationships with children, parents, relatives, the situation at home, secret enemies and best friends, patrons, work, career, study, finances, travel, emigration, your karmic task plus the characteristics of your Self - all this and much more you can learn more from the Tarot.
You can order the “12 houses of the horoscope” layout from me.
I invite you to find out your future in 2017.
Details in private messages (you can contact me through the “Contacts” section).

An excellent layout, created on the principle of an astrological natal chart, can show almost everything about the client’s life at the moment (since it shows all areas of life), give a forecast for the future (it is especially effective to do it for a year), clarify what kind of person he is facing us (I sometimes use it to understand whether it is possible to deal with a given person), also in the “12 houses” layout you can find out about the other half of the querent and even get a forecast for his partner, parents. children, etc. (counting all the same houses according to the scheme, but starting from the corresponding house (for example, the 7th house of marriage, partnership will tell about the wife/husband) upward).

The layout has many variations, I bring to your attention a few of the most successful ones.

I lay out the layout ONLY with the Major Arcana (first circle), then you can open individual positions with additional cards from the Minor Arcana, no more than three per house.

I also use card 13, it is placed in the center of the layout. This is the main key of the layout, which connects all positions. This card gives the main answer to the current situation in a person’s life. It is interpreted as final or as advice.

Since the alignment is closely related to astrology, it is interpreted on the basis of astrological houses:

Their meaning is:

1st house Aries- this house controls all endeavors, it corresponds to the period of childhood and growing up, it determines the appearance, characteristic features of the person being guessed for, his worldly prospects and potential; in a narrower sense - personality and consciousness.
2 Taurus- this house preserves and strengthens, patronizes financial affairs and the material side of life; in a narrower sense - money.
3 Gemini- this house controls the mental side of life, which unites like-minded people, it symbolizes family ties, neighbors, all types of communication and communications, roads, as well as letters and literary activities; in a narrower sense - friends, relatives.
4 Cancer- this house begins at midnight, so it represents the end and decline: old age, parents, home environment, in a narrower sense - marriage.
5 Leo- this house rules the heart, all love affairs and romantic adventures, in addition, the entire emotional side of life: theater, gambling, stock trading and speculation; in a narrower sense - children.

12 Pisces- this house rules hidden flaws, secrets, secret enemies, self-destruction, social institutions, mental weaknesses; in a narrower sense - secret connections.

By Alicja Chrzanowska

The main meanings of the presented cards:

S – significator, that is, a card symbolizing an object;
1 – general character of his personality, lifestyle, motives of behavior in the personal sphere (intangible), self-esteem;
2 – material condition, finances, income, as well as moral values ​​and rules of conduct taken from home;
3 – relationships with immediate family, contacts with other people;
4 – family situation, inner essence, as well as a general sense of life stability;
5 – ways of spending free time, wider contacts with people, flirting, extramarital affairs, relationships with children;
6 – health and work, correlation between internal and professional life;
7 – a person in a partnership, in marriage, in society, in friendly communication;
8 – subconscious, that which influences a person without his knowledge, hidden phenomena;
9 – education, travel, intellectual sphere, worldview;
10 – social status and career, life aspirations, plans and aspirations, career advancement, the way a person is perceived by others;
11 – friendly relations, method and type of helping other people;
12 – sensitivity, talents and abilities, karmic issues, purpose.

When interpreting this layout, in addition to the usual analysis, it is also necessary to consider the following triads:
1, 5 and 9 – forming a trine of fire and giving information about a person’s personality;
2, 6 and 10 – forming the Earth’s trine and talking about the material situation, professional prospects and financial opportunities;
3, 7 and 11 – forming an air trine and talking about a person’s emotional life;
4, 8 and 12 – forming a trine of water and talking about a person’s karmic problems and his purpose.
After analyzing the individual cards and the indicated trines, it is necessary to interpret the entire layout, also bearing in mind the relationships between the cards and their mutual influence on each other.

Another option, in my opinion, is more informative

Map 1- a person’s self-awareness, his idea of ​​himself, personal activity, search for his own identity, style of individual self-expression and self-affirmation, willpower, something directly related to his own “I”, appearance, general level of energy and vitality, the beginning of a new cycle.
This is the most important position of the layout, so an unsuccessful first card indicates the need to abandon rash decisions and ill-considered steps. Be careful with incoming offers, beware of misconceptions and illusions.
Map 2- money, property, personal possessions, the way of earning money and disposing of it, business activity, prosperity or waste, material resources in general, as well as the most fundamental desires and ability to enjoy life in general.
A strong second card (ace, figure or ten) can mean excessive interest in financial success and the purely material side of life.
Map 3- communication, information, relationships with the immediate environment, thinking abilities and intelligence, rational decisions and logic (or lack thereof), mastering practical knowledge and skills, traveling short distances.
A strong third card always means an opportunity to learn and improve your skill level, while a bad card in this position symbolizes rumors, gossip and misinformation.
Map 4- home environment and family, a sense of personal security (or anxiety), emotional stereotypes, relationships with parents (especially with the mother), real estate and home improvement, traditions and roots of personal consciousness, the completion of a life stage.
A negative fourth card challenges the very foundations of your current existence and can mean rapid and radical change.
Map 5- creative self-expression, social activity, image, adventurous projects, gambling, risky ventures, romantic adventures, relationships with children.
An unsuccessful fifth card can mean disappointment in love, excessive spending and the failure of risky projects.
Map 6- everyday work, service, routine operations, the ability to voluntarily submit to superiors, debts, health and relationships with doctors, the ability to implement a plan, solving practical problems, professional issues, career.
An unsuccessful sixth card can mean difficulties at work (in particular, the absence or excessive excess of it), a tedious routine, the inability to relax and unwind, or psychosomatic disorders.
Map 7- partnerships, joint ventures, contracts, agreements, pair work, marriage bonds, legal affairs and negotiations, cooperation and business relationships, socialism and social life.
An unsuccessful seventh card can mean legal proceedings, treachery of partners, difficulties in marriage (including divorce), inability to find one’s place in society, the presence of open enemies and adversaries.
Map 8- associated with dangers and extreme situations: accidents, injuries, surgeries, etc. Relates to death, wills, insurance, alimony, taxes and joint finances. This also includes psychological crises and radical changes in life.
A strong and negative eighth card can mean a wide range of extreme situations: from clashes with financial inspectors, investigators or creditors to the hassle of probate.
Map 9- beliefs, worldview and ideals. Highest values, philosophy, education, culture. Contacts with foreigners and long-distance travel (travel). Moral laws, expansion of consciousness, interest in self-improvement. Spiritual quests, new horizons and prospects, the desire to transform the world.
An unsuccessful ninth card can mean false beliefs, obsessions, overly orthodox views, ideological intolerance and fanaticism, failure in contacts with foreign partners.
Map 10- second in importance after the first. Symbolizes prestige, reputation, authority, social status, ambition and political activity, profession in a broad sense and external achievements, career and patronage.
A successful tenth card means success, important achievements, being at the peak of opportunities, growing popularity (sometimes in combination with pride, vanity).
A negative card is a clear advice to “slow down”, “take a break”. Here any collisions can end in failure.
Map 11- friends, groups, organizations, hopes and expectations, plans for the future, altruism and mutual assistance, unforeseen events, charity, sponsors, philanthropists and patrons.
An unsuccessful eleventh card can mean false friends, false goals and illusory hopes, disruption of plans and unpleasant surprises.
Map 12- subconscious tendencies, everything hidden, secret and unmanifested, fantasy and imagination, dreams; psychological problems, sacrifices, self-deceptions and doubts, neuroses and self-destruction, solitude and isolation; closed institutions and secret enemies.
A strong and negative twelfth card can mean the activation of secret enemies (including internal ones), intrigues and intrigues, exposure of hidden sins and vices, retribution for past mistakes, psychological breakdown and exacerbation of chronic diseases.
It is important here not to succumb to a gloomy mood, depression, fears and self-criticism.

Some tarot readers even use the 12 House Tarot spread to search for a lost item or missing person.

How to do the “12 houses” layout

Let's look at how to lay out the 12 houses Tarot layout correctly. The tarot reader focuses on the question that interests him, shuffles the deck and pulls out twelve random cards from it, which are laid out in a circle in the same order as in the astrology house of the horoscope. Each card will symbolize one of the houses, as well as the Zodiac sign that is its ruler.

• The seventh house is responsible for love relationships and marriage. Its “master” is Libra
• The most difficult card is the eighth. This is the house of Death, ruled by Scorpio. This map analyzes rebirths, transformations, crises, tragedies, but at the same time it also symbolizes unfinished business, as well as legal issues

What cards should you pay attention to?

The interpretation of the layout is made according to the traditional meanings of the cards or in the way to which the tarot reader is accustomed. But there are several points that are worth paying special attention to.

First important point

The appearance of the Major Arcana. Those houses in which SA appeared will symbolize the most important events. So, for example, Lovers in position 7 can talk about marriage, and if the card is 11, they can report that a person’s friends are a very dubious company.

Second important point

Court cards. On the one hand, they may indicate that in certain areas of life a person is under the influence of other people, and on the other hand, that he himself puts on certain masks. You should be wary if a lot of Court cards appear in the layout.

Third important point

Pay attention to the predominance of a certain suit or suits in the layout. Trigons are also of great importance: for example, houses 1-5-9 are most closely connected with a person’s personality, 2-6-10 - with his attitude to work, labor, 3-7-11 - with social communications, immediate environment, and 4-8-12 - with feelings and experiences.

Studying the “12 houses” Tarot layout also includes an analysis of opposition cards: house 1 - I; 7 - you; 4 - house; 10 - work; 5 - personal creativity; 11 - collective creativity and so on.

How to make a “12 houses” layout for a situation, event, desire

As we mentioned above, this fortune telling can be used to analyze absolutely any issue and area of ​​life. Let's look at, as an example, what the cards will mean when fortune telling on different topics.

Let’s take the “12 houses” Tarot layout for an event, for example, when moving to another job, when a person wants to find out what awaits him in the new place:

1. How will the questioner feel overall in the new place?
2. What will be his income, salary, financial situation?
3. What will your relationship with colleagues be like?
4. Will the person asking be able to stay in this job for a long time, will they be able to “put down roots” in a new place?
5. Will he be able to express himself and receive moral satisfaction from this activity?
6. Everything related to his health: whether the work will harm his health, how comfortable the working conditions will be, etc.
7. Everything related to documents and agreements. This may also include a social package, official registration, etc.
8. Are there any dangers in the new place, will there be nervous strain, stress or physical injury?
9. Possibility of business trips
10. Career prospects
11. General atmosphere in the team
12. Secrets, intrigue, something that will not become clear right away, but then

Now let's see what the cards will symbolize in the “12 Houses” Tarot layout if we are talking about the prospect of marriage with a specific person:

1. What will the relationship between the spouses in this marriage look like in general?
2. Financial situation of the future family
3. Will the family be open to communicating with other people?
4. Living conditions, relationships with older relatives
5. Will this marriage bring happiness to both spouses? Here you can also consider whether the couple will have children
6. Will there be any health problems in this union? This also includes family habits, responsibilities
7. Possible legal issues, such as divorce
8. Any danger that may threaten this union - anything can appear here, from a mistress to a car accident that may await the couple in the future
9. Will the couple travel?
10. What will be the common goals of the spouses?
11. The couple's hopes and plans
12. Are any separations expected, such as hospital, prison, business trips, etc.

And one more example. Now we will look at the layout of the “12 houses” of the Tarot for the prospect of wish fulfillment. Here we will analyze how much this or that area of ​​life will help or, conversely, hinder the fulfillment of your desire. We will not give the list of houses again, since you can use their basic values. So, for example, card 1 will tell you how much the fulfillment of a desire depends on the person himself, card 2 - on his financial situation, 4 - on his parents, 11 - on his friends, etc. Pay special attention to house 8 - there may be serious problems, inevitable circumstances and other factors that interfere with the fulfillment of your plans.
