This in-depth eight-card layout shows various aspects of your personal journey. It is good for exploring generalised personal questions, but can also be used to explore relationships if the couple is viewed as a whole.
This layout progresses through eight stages similar to the tarot deck's Major Arcana, beginning with birth and the realm of fertility. After birth comes the initial growth which leads to a period of adaptation, change, and re-balancing oneself. Once the process has grown enough, security comes into focus, as it is necessary to protect what has been earned. After this, once again growth is important, but concerning the mind and creativitity this time, leading to another phase of personal changes. Finally upon completion of the journey, the rewards become evident, and beyond that, one's spiritual development level will have noticeably risen.

This tile suggests to be open to change. New possibilities will be available depending upon where you direct your attention. New people will be walking into your life, and new unions will be possible.
New opportunities open for you in the realm of relationships. Maybe you will make a new friend. Perhaps there will be opportunity to take a relationship to the next level. Remember to be considerate of all involved. Consider all possibilities and weigh the risks.
This tile suggests a setback. Sometimes we need to take ourselves out of the game, perhaps to heal. Take advantage of this time in every way that you can, just remember to take it easy.
This tile suggests that self-reflection is necessary. Look within. Perhaps you recently had a dream that is still on your mind. Analyse your dreams and look to your fantasies and daydreams to find the key.
At this time emotions may be a detriment if they have gone out of alignment with the intellect. Weight your choices carefully at this time. Try to strip out the emotions in your decisions. Whatever you do, avoid any impulses that may be harmful. Try to remain logical during this time.
Passion can be a weakness, but it can also be a source of great strength. Do not hold back your emotions. They will drive you to great things on your life's path. As always, remember to be kind to others as much as you value yourself.
We all need a little help from time to time. This tile suggests to be humble but not ashamed. Be thankful and not prideful in accepting any aid. Remember that nobody owes you anything.
This tile suggests considering setting some time and energy aside in pursuit of spiritual development. A rebirth can effectively reboot the mind-soul connection. The value of such pursuits cannot be understated.
