The Lion, the Lady, and the Lemniscate Spread by Ellen Lorenzi-Prince and Diane Wilkes
In the month of August, one's mind naturally turns to Leo and the Strength card. On one hand, we have the rapacity of the Lion, who wants to devour everything whole, especially during the last days of summer, when all is lush and ripe. On the other hand, this is also a time when we prepare for more serious matters. In the fall, students return to school, and summer vacation ceases. We begin planning for a new season with a desire to accomplish things before the end of the year, which is now in sight.
How do we honor both of these forces? The lemniscate creates a mandala of interweaving that bridges the two.

Temperance Spread
Temperance Spread by Sherryl Smith
This is a spread I invented to address the issue of balancing your life.
Take the Temperance card out of your deck to use as a significator. If it's a traditional card, the figure will have one arm higher than the other as she pours water from one jug to another.
You'll draw two cards for this reading.
Put one card on the side of the Temperance card with the higher arm. This card tells you about an area of your life that is over-developed, or where you have an excess. It could be a trait or talent you rely on to get by at the expense of developing other areas of your life.
Put the second card on the other side of the Temperance card. It indicates an area where you are under-developed, or lacking energy, or that you have suppressed or deni4ed.
Can you pour energy from the abundant card into the deficient card to balance your life more?
Go through the deck until you find an Ace. Put it above the Temperance card. This is the area of life where the balancing card needs to happen most.
