The second card - Am I ready to be pregnant?

Just as important, this card should make you consider whether pregnancy is right for you or whether this is the right time for you to raise a child.

Your initial gut reaction to the card will give you a good understanding of how you feel. For example, if the Empress card appears and you feel an initial wave of apprehension or anxiety, then this suggests that motherhood is not right for you at this time.

The third card - Can I afford to have a baby?

Another vital thing to consider is whether you have the financial means to raise a child at this time. This card should give you an idea as to whether having a baby is something you can manage financially.

• Ace of Swords – which encourages clear, direct, and honest dialogue.
• Three of Cups – which signals that the conversation will be joyous and friendly.

Cards to be more wary of include the Five of Swords and the Four of Pentacles which indicate the conversation will be more fraught.

The sixth card - What should I do to further prepare if I am not pregnant?

If you’re not pregnant and feel like you want to be, then this card will guide you as to what to do next.

Finding out the baby’s gender tarot spread

This spread is the simplest on our list. It’s a one-card spread that will tell you the gender of your baby. There are various methods for this spread, with tarot readers having alternative methods for discovering the gender of a child.

Method one: Reversals

A reversal appears when a card appears upside-down from the reader’s perspective. The significance of reversals varies, with some readers treating them as meaning the opposite of the card’s conventional meaning, while others interpret them as having a delayed or lessened effect. Some tarot readers ignore the reversals altogether and treat them as though they have the same meaning, as if they were the right way up.

If you do believe that reversals have an alternative effect, then you can use this method to discover the gender of your child. If the card comes up upright, it could symbolize a girl, if it comes out upside down, it’s a boy. Or you could do it the other way around.

Method two: Numbers

If you’re not a fan of reversals, then you can use the numbers on the cards to discover the gender of your baby. For example, an even number on a card could represent a boy, whilst an odd number would mean a girl. Given the simplicity of the spread, it is one of the best tarot card spreads for beginners.

Using tarot cards to find out what your child will look like

A fun little pregnancy tarot spread to have a go at before the baby is born, this spread will tell you about not just what your offspring will look like, but also the contents of their character.

The general method for this spread is to decide beforehand which one of you represents evens and which one is odds. If the father is evens and the mother is odds, then an even card will mean the child will be more like their father in this case.

A spread to prepare you for the baby’s birth

If you know for certain that a baby is on its way, then this is a great spread to get you ready for when the baby arrives. This will give you a clear vision of what preparations to make to ensure that the transition into parenthood runs as smoothly as possible.

It’s a seven-card spread, similar to a clock face, but with the first card placed in the middle.

Card one: What resources, materials and items do we need in preparation for the baby

This card will let you know what items you need to prioritize so that you have everything you need for when the baby arrives.

Cards to look out for include the Four of Pentacles, which would advise you to budget sufficiently for the baby’s arrival, the Ten of Pentacles values buying items with long-term durability, while the Queen of Pentacles represents creating a nurturing environment.

Card two: What books or educational resources do we need?

The cards will give you a range of responses to this query. The Hierophant will advise you to prioritize the traditional elements of education, as it represents the classic tenets of knowledge and intuition.

Meanwhile, the Queen of Cups has a different take valuing the need for emotional and psychological education over that of math and literacy.

Card three: What baby-proofing should we put in place?

Depending on what the cards say you should fit safety devices to doors and windows, add barriers like baby gates, especially around the stairs, lock away hazardous items like household chemicals, eliminate sharp edges to your furniture and secure so it never falls over.

Card four: How should we adapt our schedule for parenthood?

Having a baby disrupts every aspect of your life, including your schedule. The Temperance card will encourage you to find balance, moderation and a middle ground, to try and squeeze in enough time for self-care.

Meanwhile, the Emperor card stands for structure, authority and control. This card advises creating a solid and consistent routine for you and your baby.

Card five: What have we forgotten to prepare for?

In the rush of pregnancy, many things can end up being forgotten. If you do this spread and The Moon comes up, then that could suggest that certain aspects of your emotional and psychological preparation have been missed and that you have been focusing too much on the material.

Whereas the Six of Cups may suggest that your baby preparations have been fine, but you need to spend more time protecting and valuing your other family dynamics and relationships.

Card six: How well prepared are our family and friends for the baby?

A good result to get for this card would be the Three of Cups which symbolizes celebration, friendship and community, indicating that those close to you could not be more excited about the birth.

The Queen of Cups also should fill you with ease, as it suggests a preparedness from loved ones to provide you with empathy and understanding.

Cards that might cause you alarm include the Five of Wands, which represents conflict and competition and could be a sign that there’ll be tensions when the baby is born and that other family members may feel neglected or sidelined. The Four of Pentacles suggests that there may be a reticence towards change from some close to you.

Card seven: How will the baby affect the relationship between me and my partner?

Having children changes any relationship, often for the better. But if you’re concerned about how a new arrival could affect the bond you have with your partner, then see what the tarot cards have to say.

Cards that will put your mind at ease include The Lovers, for understandable reasons, along with the Ten of Cups and the Four of Wands.

Other cards that appear will require you to be more proactive in the relationship and prevent potential crises before they occur include The Chariot and the Six of Swords. Whatever cards do come up, any problem is solvable through clear communication and trust.
