This spread emerged intuitively as I was reading for a friend who was feeling stuck, and I wanted to marvel a moment at the intelligence of Spirit. It's an arrow — the shape came to me first and then the spread structure. The center is the querent and the main force crossing them. The top is the state the querent wishes to reach. The surrounding cards are the influencing circumstances, internal, external, and underlying. And the very bottom card is the force which can either propel the arrow forward or hold it back. It ended up being a very dynamic and effective reading, so this is me expressing gratitude for this gift from Spirit!
