About the Energetic Clearing Spread
Some readings ask 'what is going on?' This one asks 'what do I need to release, what do I need to keep, and what do I need to call in?' Three cards, fifteen minutes, and a clear practice afterward. Position 1 names what is ready to be released, an old pattern, a relationship dynamic, an attachment. Position 2 names what to keep and amplify, what is working. Position 3 names what is ready to arrive, what you can open to next.
The 3 Positions
Each position in this spread carries a defined meaning. Read your card through that position’s lens.
Release
What is ready to go. The pattern, attachment, or energy whose time is done.
Keep
What is working and wants to be amplified. The good already underway.
Call In
What is ready to arrive. The next opening.

Frequently Asked
How often can I do this spread?
Monthly is ideal, at the new moon or your birthday-of-the-month. More often than that, and you start over-fitting; less, and you accumulate clutter.
