The Forth are your adult years from your current age to 50. and, The fifth card represents The Golden Years from 51 on up.
3. The Astrology Wheel Spread
The Astrology Wheel Spread combines the use of the Astrology Wheel with the tarot. Starting at the Sun sign of the person you lay the twelve cards out going counterclockwise into each of the 12 houses of the zodiac and interpret them in relation with the house and the sign under which each card falls. This I have found to be a very accurate and interesting spread.

It represents the way we percieve the events surrounding the body of the situation. The right wing is the wing of abilities. It represents the tools we can use to achieve the goal of the body.

The Celtic Cross spread is the old standard spread of the tarot that you will find in most of books and even in the instructions on tarot reading that come with your tarot cards. It's basically a very easy spread to use however I personally have found that sometimes I have to use a more advanced spread in order to get more out of it.

This is a fairly easy spread to use and is relatively accurate when it comes to answering questions or trying to determine the events in your life that are having a current influence.
7. The Rainbow Spread
The Rainbow Spread is another reasonably simple spread which uses 7 cards and the defined seven colors of the rainbow to determine the current events in ones life, and what is influencing or affecting them. This is a really accurate spread and one that I find to be a pleasure to use.
