“Live, Love, Laugh” was more than a phrase; it was the popular home décor accent in every Shabby Chic home back in the early 2010’s. I want to turn it into a tarot spread. This tarot spread can give you a closer look at your participation in the situation you’re dealing with. I know this isn’t a popular subject. The majority of the time people want insight into the other side, not insight into themselves about the situation. The thing is: when you spend time focusing on things outside of yourself, you’re missing the opportunity to make any changes. In any situation the only true control you have is how you think, feel, and behave. We can only control ourselves. I think this spread will give you a deeper understanding of what happened but looking closer into you. Then you can live, love and laugh to the fullest. Now that was the cheesiest line I’ve ever written. I hope it was gouda for you and that you’re laughing with me. 

Spread One, the question asked is, “How do I live, love and laugh about the (situation)?

Card 1, Live: This card is about the behavior or approach about the situation. 

Card 2, Love: This card speaks to what you are holding on to. How it truly made you feel. Sometimes this is a part of yourself that you can’t see. 

Card 3, Laugh: This card is about breath. What did you breathe into being? I other words, what did you create in this situation? 

Are these cards reflective of what you initially wanted to share? If not, you can dive a bit deeper. Use the same spread, but with a different question and slightly different focus. This is the expansion of the spread

Now ask, “How can I live, love and laugh to influence the (situation)? Below the first row of cards, lay out the second set. 

Card 4, Live: What is the best approach to assist in shifting the situation? 

Card 5, Love: How can you release the emotion tied to the situation? 

Card 6, Laugh: This card is about breath. What can you breathe into being? How to create a different energy in the situation? 

When you examine the rows together, notice the differences and the similarities in the cards.  Hopefully this brings a bit more insight into your current situation. 

You can use this for a relationship spread. This can be any type of relationship you have. Your significant other, sibling, friend, even your co-worker. 

The question is, “How do we live, love and laugh together?”

Card 1 (You) + 2 (Other Person) Live: How you interact. 

Card 3 (You) + 4 (Other Person) Love: How you listen.  

Card 5 (You) + 6 (Other Person) Laugh: How you communicate. 

If you feel like there is a wall up in any of the areas, pull an extra card and lay it between the cards.
