Now although the spreads are useful and diverse, many of them can be found in other books. If you're looking for large spreads, you'll be disappointed, since these spreads max out at eight cards. (Which means there's no discussion of either the Celtic Cross or the Horoscope spread. I don't think the book is diminished one whit by those omissions.) The strength of this book is in what Fiorini says about these spreads.

I think all these questions are a wonderful tool, because if your intuition is skipping a bit during a reading, thinking about the questions may jump-start some answers.
