Memory Man

The important thing to remember with this card spread is that it is not about giving answers in black and white.
There is always a dual influence going on with everything the "main card" is experiencing.  What they have chosen to learn from, what they fear, who is negative, who is positive, and what recurring situations will all play a role in decision making.
This is a mindset spread I call "Memory Man".                  Gipsie

Middle Card is Personality Card.  Cards to left and right are pressures influencing current situation (frame of mind).  Cards below are past influences subconsciously affecting current frame of mind.  Cards above are future influences.  

6 of Cups - a wonderful soul who puts their humanity first in decision making.  Reversed Ace of Swords - a hurtful blow still smarts and causes indecision.  Five of Coins (pentacles) - a financial lack, doubt, indecision based on unwillingness to reach outside the box in thinking.  

Ace of Cups - emotional breakthrough, energy for new projects.  Reversed 3 of Cups - lack of emotional support in times of need; shaky foundations for partnerships.

6 of Swords - wisdom learned from battle.  7 of Cups - too many choices is causing stress; too much of a good thing.
