The 6 Card Spread is my favorite layout to use with Oracle Gé. The spread was created by Gerard Barbier, the author/creator of Oracle Gé, and it’s featured in one of the books that go along with this deck. I learned the spread from the author’s forum.
The 6 Card Spread is perfect for exploring a specific question, issue or concern.
Method:
The 6 Card Spread uses a significator (key card) to represent the question or area of concern. The list includes the most common key cards:
-
Health = 39 The Rat
-
Work = 23 The Tools
-
Love = 06 The Two Hearts
-
Family/Home = 04 The Hearth
-
Finances = 19 Money
-
Legal Matters = 44 Justice
-
Exams = The Papers
A character card used to represent a specific person in the querent’s life can also be used as the significator.
The significator card (S) is placed on the table before the cards are shuffled and cut. Then 6 cards are drawn and dealt according to the following diagram:
Interpretation:
The cards are interpreted based on the following positional meaning:
1. Present influences – the situation as it stands.
2. Future influences if nothing is done to change the situation.
3. Positive or negative aspects of the situation or advice on how to resolve the matter.
4, 5 & 6. The result or final outcome.
I have found this layout to be particularly good for learning how the events surrounding a situation will unfold. For a more in-depth reading, an additional card can be dealt to ‘cover’ each of the 6 positions as needed.
What a nice spread! I think you could use this with other oracle cards as well. The link to the site is cool – I wish I understood more French! It is neat that you can actually do an on-line reading with this spread.
Hi Sammie,
Yeah, I bet this layout would be wonderful with L’Horoscope Belline too! My French is not very good either, so I get some extra help from the google translate button!
