For the Seasonal Circle Spread, the entire deck is spread out in a circle and key points along the wheel are read. Usually this spread is read from turn of season to turn of season (from start of spring to start of summer, for example), but it can be done at any time. I use my intuition to determine the best start and end points if this reading is done mid-season.
For this reading (done mid-May), I read a teeny bit back to hit May Day, then forward for the 1st of June, Solstice, 1st of July, 1st of August, and the potential rewards to be reaped in the upcoming season thereafter.

Read on for the full spread and interpretations
May Day
May Day brought you the energy of the Hierophant. A good time to get things in order, you may already have felt this season bringing focus for new projects and building new habits.
First of June
June comes in with the energy of the Ten of Pentacles. Goals you have been working towards for a long time are coming into fruition.
Solstice
Solstice (June 20th this year) will bring a shift in fortunes. If you've made good use of the Hierophant and Ten of Pentacles energy, you will be prepared to weather the storms and reap the rewards of fortune smiling upon you.
First of July
The Four of Pentacles warns us to be careful of being miserly. Perhaps you put something away in preparation for the turning of The Wheel; now is the time to reevaluate using it. What is held onto is never lost, but it never grows, either.
First of August
The Moon suggests that all is not as it seems. Beware of tricksters, or deals that seem too good to be true.
Upcoming Season
If you play this season right, you will be rewarded with a new opportunity in the next. A new friendship or partnership is on the horizon, provided you've not stretched yourself too thin. This summer’s lesson is discernment, being able to determine true gold from all else that glitters. Recall the ant and the grasshopper, and remember that there is a balance to be had between work and play. While the ant may be full all winter, we are not ants. There is bounty enough to store some away for later and also to use some of your resources now to live your life and enjoy it.

Hey :) I would love death star reading. I have been strugling to find an internship/job and worried how will things go once I got it and move abroad. Thank you - N
//Death Star//Your blockages seem like a stream of thoughts which eventually lead to emotional drainage followed by physical unrest. The kind of thoughts which say that if you don't have a certain thing at this point of your life you won't have it anytime soon. You really do crave your personal power and freedom, a safe space, an acknowledgement of your efforts and above all peace of mind. So best believe that you're equally worthy of deserving it. It seems as if, even if you're trying to put your best foot forward you don't have complete faith in it due to the worry of not being up to their standards or being perceived a certain way. In a way you know what you want, you also know what job can make you happy and satisfied but not being able to land the right kind of work or internship right now is robbing you of the happy and good feelings you have towards yourself and your line of work. In a way, you're focusing a lot on the struggles you're having. Yes, it is normal to do so. But don't dwell on it either.I sense that you need to pause for a while, not give up, just pause, reacess and reevaluate. Is there anything you can add to your resumé? Or edit out of it? Is there is a possibility that you'll land something way better? Yes. And I feel you know that too and because you do you are worried if you'll be able to handle it or would be good enough for it.Don't burden yourself with these thoughts for now because there's little to gain from them. You will land something eventually which is aligned for you. It will happen. Once you move out you'll get a clearer idea of how to go from there as well. Although I do sense you might drag a bit of emotional turmoil along or feel like you're taking on too much. Don't force it to change course but also know when to let go of them especially when they are interfering with your progress. You may have to multitask a bit and watch your finances too. I get the feeling you'll eventually land an internship first, you'll be determined to be your best and you will overcome your challenges after which more opportunities will open up for you. The only advice is to slow down, take it all in, allow yourself to grow and stop burdening yourself with the thought that time is running out.
For the ABOVE + BELOW Card Draw, a Signifier card is chosen to represent a key element of your query. I then shuffle and search for the Signifier, and read the cards above and below it. The cards below speak to negating forces, something holding you back, a struggle. The cards above offer help, advice, and a way forward.
For this read I used The Nameless One tarot and Oracle deck by Xia Hunt. Querant asked for a reading regarding mental health, so I chose to seek out The Star, a card of quiet voices and small lights.

Signifier
For this read, I chose The Star to serve as the focus for your query about mental health. The Star is the quiet place within us, a light that can only be seen when all others are dim. It takes deliberate effort to listen to it, and hard work to get to a place where you can hear it. It is private, unique to you, and something only you can truly know.
Above
The Above position is that which assists, a force that aids you, a path through. The Six of Blades offers this blessing: “I am safe and protected during both my spiritual and physical journeys.” It eases the way forward, offers closure and the chance to put the past to bed.
Below
The Below position is that which hinders, what holds you back, what makes the path difficult. Normally, the Four of Blades is a respite, a chance to rest. Here it is reversed, indicating that perhaps you have not had time to rest, or a safe space to do so.
Synthesis
In this read, I found the sheer depth of The Star’s placement to be significant. Mental health is a journey, and this placement suggests that on this particular issue, you have a long road ahead of you. The Above says the way is clear, but the Below urges you to clear up whatever obstacle is keeping you from getting the rest you need. Such a long journey needs places to stop along the way, a chance to put the burden down, to get away from it. Build yourself those safe spaces, those places to rest, and your healing can move forward.

This four-card draw helps shed light on a point of confusion or conflict. I shuffle the deck, draw three cards, and lay them at an angle around the center deck. The first card speaks to how an outside force is influencing your perception. The second shows how an internal bias is at play. The third reveals something about the situation that is hidden to you. Finally, I flip a card from the center deck, which offers an objective truth about the matter.
For this sample spread, I used the Children of Litha deck. My querent asked for clarity regarding “a mental health situation (burnout and questioning if I'm on the autism spectrum) and stuff feeling very confusing”
I asked “Would you like me to focus more on the burnout and how to possibly relieve it, or more on the autism angle? Is it more important to you to alleviate the burnout or to know why you're burnout?”
Querent: “Autism angle please!”

Outside Influence
The King of Wands in the external position indicates someone in a position of authority, someone whose opinion you trust.
Internal Factors
The Internal position is the All Inverted. This suggests an imbalance internally, a sense that your internal world is literally upside down.
Hidden Aspects
The Devil in the Hidden position speaks of an underlying cause, restless whispers that distract you and drain your energy.
Objective Truth
(image rotated for ease of viewing)The Ten of Swords in the objective position says Enough is Enough, it's time to seek outside help.
Synthesis
All together, these cards speak of an outside force suggesting to you to seek out solutions related to autism. Maybe a friend with autism, maybe research you've done on your own, maybe a family member or even a doctor. But someone who is able to speak with authority on the matter. You should trust them. Their advice resonates with the upside down feeling inside, a gut sense that something about your inner workings just isn't right or is out of balance. Whatever that something is is currently hidden from you, but it is very real. There is actually something inside your body that drains your energy faster than it should, that chips away at your ability to focus and meet your goals. You've felt it, even if you haven't been able to name it. These all support the Ten of Swords telling you it's time to seek out help. Whether that's seeking a diagnosis, or simply doing your own research for coping strategies and talking with friends and family, it's time to reach out to your support group, and build up new ones. You've suffered long enough. It's time to make life easier for you, in whatever shape that takes.

Hello and congrats on your grand opening! I hope your page grows well. I'd like a free draw from The Children of Litha set if you don't mind?
Thank you!
Thank you so much! Let's see what Litha has to say for you today:
The abundance before me I've worked hard to achieve. Now I enjoy what I've got and have no reason to grieve. - Children of Litha
The Nine of Pentacles is a very "treat yo'self" type of card. The hard work you've been putting in is finally starting to pay off. Take a moment today to indulge in a little luxury, you've earned it!
Interested in a free reading? Come help me celebrate my grand opening!
Ah, let me try again! Sorry! May I ask for a general life reading? Thank you so much and sorry to clutter your inbox! -MA♈️🐻☕️
In the past you may have uncovered how deceitful some people and situations can be. There was manipulation of some form in your past. Please forgive yourself for it. I see that presently you're healing, you want to focus on your well being. I see a lot of green, white and a spot of yellow . Definite focus on the heart, crown and solar plexus chakra. And symbolically - health, growth, clarity and joy. I see you out in nature, near a river bed and I see a faint rainbow too. I believe your guides are telling you to simply rest and rejuvenate now and focus on other aspects of your life later.
I see planning in the near future but I also sense you probably cutting ties with someone. I see an end of a very tough cycle for you. It will come suddenly and might make you feel lost. But I sense around night time somewhere you'll have this realization that you're free.I see a new found sense of self and value. There might be a moment you may feel alone and lost but you're going through a change. I see you working hard in your academics or finances. I also see you moving/travelling or that maybe you should consider a vacation? You need to unwind a bit. I see a boost in self esteem later on I think maybe in the next 5 months or so.
It is likely there is a romantic prospect if you're single but I see this person values you deeply and is someone you've been waiting for. There will be a period or bliss and your heart + intuition will be very aware of it. As of now just give yourself time, breathe, keep your plans (whatever they maybe) to yourself. Period. Its okay to be selfish in regards to it
Hey girl! I am being drawn to seeking job in the fashion industry. I am wondering how will it unfold, will I be successful and satisfied with it. Thank you <3
Hey, love!
Okay so for you I do see an offer perhaps more than one. I sense indecision on your part, I still feel you are hesitant to step out or venture into something unknown or something you're not used to. Perhaps in hindsight you don't know how is this going to and where this will lead. Maybe you fear that you might feel out of place. I feel if you choose to go for this it'll break a cycle you have always wanted and hoped to break for a significant period.
I sense travel, fulfillment because you enjoy doing what you're doing regardless of the efforts and hard work you're putting into it. You don't mind. There were be moments you'd feel confused or feel like a novice but your curiosity and willingness to learn will take you a long way.
Speaking of which, in the long term I do see this will benefit you.
You'll find yourself being more in charge of your career as well as expression yourself creatively the ways you've always wanted to. I heard the word, "colors"
Things will progress quickly I think in a few months. You'll get to use and show off your skills. Just do not let past circumstances hold you back from this. Be it things which didn't work out, people who did not support etc.
I feel you might start off in the sales or promotion department, modelling as well (since I heard bold) you'll be working hard and luck will be on your side. This will help you find your sense of independence and financial stability. You'll see movement and progress in your life. You don't have to conform to things not alinging with you.
Also, communication will help you immensely right now. Put those skills to use! A new start is definitely coming you'll feel the energy strongly after this new moon 💙
