Tested Tarot Spread: Down the Rabbit Hole

Lady Aconita's Down the Rabbit Hole Spread

Recently, my witchy sister Lady Aconita asked me to test out a tarot spread that she created. You can see her spread, notes, and thoughts on her blog here. 
I of course jumped on it because I love testing new spreads AND love sharing my tarot love with friends. 
The topic of the spread was rather prompt for me. The purpose is to analyze your emotions and figure out what is effecting them and, if they are particularly non-beneficial, how to escape their hold on you. 
Being pregnant, I have mood swings, however, in the last week or so, I've experienced some depression due to stress caused by my letting people around me effect how I see myself, my world, etc. This spread was just perfect timing for that and, since I don't believe in coincidences, I knew this was a sign from spirit to get my tail into gear and use my tools to figure a way up and out of the funk I was in.

Tarot Testing Outcome

I did tweak some of Aconita's working for the spread I laid out. 
I changed #3, Who is not helping you? to Who or What is not helping your situation? 
The wording helped me because, as you might see here, I could read the 5 of pentacles as either someone being uncharitable or the problem could be my own unwillingness to ask for aid that is close at hand. 
Also, rather than Clarification, I chose to lay an Outcome card. 
For me, clarification cards are cards drawn after a reading is laid out and they are placed over the area that needs clarification. Say I wasn't understanding card 3 and wanted some deeper insight, that is when I would draw a clarification card, lay it over or next to card 3, and read it from there. 
By making the 5th card space "Outcome" I could also see if I how I can use the lesson learned in the reading to bring myself towards an outcome I wanted and if the outcome in the layout was not what I wanted, then I'd have a heads up to change my direction. (I will be talking more about this in a future blog post on how to implement advice from tarot readings into your life.) 
In all, I really like this spread. I would recommend it for people who are feeling the blues or are unsure if people around them or their own actions or a combination of both are what is effecting the mood they are in. I also recommend trying this lay out with the Osho Zen Tarot as I find that deck to be great for doing readings based on emotions, shadow work, and depression (I didn't here because I like to try out new spreads with the Rider-Waite first). 
Thank you Lady Aconita for giving us such an awesome spread!

For those wondering, the notes in the upper right corner are from college homework, which I was taking a break from.

Also - I originally tried to shape it (spread shapes help me sometimes) so it was like you were climbing out of a hole, but, obviously, that did not work.

I'm currently working on tweaking it though, so we shall see where the Cards take me on this one.

Peace, love, and lava rocks,

Lady Aconita

The love tarot is a tarot card reading focusing on a person's love life, intimate relationships and all things about love. It is a good way to find what is in store for your love life. They say that nothing lasts forever, but what counts the most is that you want to be with your special someone until the day you die.
