Short small spreads are all the rage these days. 

While longer, more in-depth spreads are where you build your reputation, change lives, and help serious (repeat) clients solve real-world problems, no one has time for those now! Everyone wants to give short readings, even though you get your biggest tips from expertly executed in-depth sessions that produce real results. SHORT READINGS ARE MORE FUN! (for the reader)

So how do we make any money from this? Even more important, how can we give our clients real value in 5 to 15 minutes? After all, we can't compress time (well . . .  can we? Come to school to find out how, but for the sake of this free lesson . . .)  HOW DO WE make a 5–15 minute reading stand out in someone's mind? That's what today's lesson is all about.

We go DEEP into what makes short and long readings work. This session isn't a simple "do this to make people like you" lesson. We want you to understand this instinctively so that ALL of your readings from now on are twice as good as they were before today. Long, short (but especially short) readings — all of these will be better. Too much to say here, but definitely take notes! Also, ask questions. That's what we are here for!

Thanks for being here. 

The eight of wands is easily one of the more confusing cards in the tarot. The visuals are simplistic: eight sticks are seemingly floating in air, and in the background is a small river and a house. The lack of people or determinable action gives this card something of a generic feel,, and as a result forces too many tarot readers to memorize keywords or key phrases in an attempt to make sense of this when this card comes up in a reading.

But it is the simplicity and synchronicity of this image that reveals much of its true meaning. This is what we discuss in today's tarot card meaning lesson.

notice how each stick is perfectly parallel with each other, and they are all approximately the same distance from the edge of the card. Given the nature of the rest of the sticks in the tarot we can assume (and correctly so) that all of these sticks are of the same or similar length. The variation in their horizontal location implies these were all launched (thrown or catapulted) at roughly the same time, given a slight allowance for human error and strength (force of throw). This implies both a human element, but also organization, teamwork, and a controlling factor such as a leader.
