This tutorial uses the Whispers of Time Tarot and a layout from its own guidebook called The New Beginning Spread. I go through these as part of my spread tutorial series — pulling layouts straight from the decks to see how they function in real readings, not just theory.
The spread has four positions:
- Bottom — Overall Goal or Focus
- Left — Obstacles
- Right — Opportunities
- Top — Step You Need to Take
It looks simple, but the way it played out here was anything but.
Judgment (XX) showed up first — center of the whole reading and the anchor for everything that followed. The message was direct: it’s time to answer the call. When you keep ignoring it, the same lessons repeat until you stop running from what’s already yours. The energy of 20 reduces to 2 — a decision point. Accept the higher path or keep looping. There’s no middle ground; it’s your choice.
For obstacles, Eight of Swords. Clarity blocked. The mind fogged, ideas can’t land, and overthinking kills your path forward. Until the noise clears, no new beginning can take form.
Page of Cups opened the door again — the creative reset, that younger emotional energy that brings curiosity back after burnout. Once the head clears, the heart follows, and inspiration returns.
Finally, The Sun sat at the top. It’s the path forward. Let it happen. Stop forcing outcomes and start allowing light back into your process.
These four together say the same thing from different angles: wake up, clear your head, feel again, and allow it. Judgment begins the sequence, the Sun ends it — resurrection to illumination.
The dice roll ended on six, which tracks perfectly with the reading: one and five — new potential and chaos — merging into six, harmony. You can’t reach stability without disruption first.
That’s the whole essence of this spread. A reminder that awakening isn’t poetic — it’s work. Now, do you accept the call? Only you can answer that question.

Kevin, it’s Lynn from over on Facebook. I learn a lot from you on Facebook as well as your YouTube channel. My husband and I opened our X-3 Sports and MMA Gym right before the Covid crap hit and we’ve yet to recover. He’s had five surgeries within these last eight months and we’ve barely been able to make ends meet. Since I learn so much from you I know I should become a member but I don’t know when I’ll be able to do it due to lack of funds. I want to read those guides you wrote so much.
