The Spring Equinox is one of my favorite times of year: regeneration, emerging life, the air of possibility – oh yeah, sign me up for some of that!
This year even more so than usual, the spring equinox energy feels conducive to cultivating a growth mindset. Far from being a woo-woo concept, the impact of living with a growth mindset has been documented through traditional psychological research. The hallmark of a growth mindset is believing that transformation and evolution are always available to you. Contrast this with a fixed mindset, which is anchored in the belief that your potential is pre-determined and beyond your realm of influence.
It makes sense to focus on living with a growth mindset during spring, as spring is quite literally a time of new growth! In order for growth to happen (in the natural world as well as in your inner world) debris needs to be cleared away. Now is a good time to make the conscious decision to shift any stagnant energies within you.
With this spirit in mind, I’ve created a Growth Mindset tarot spread for you to try. The spread positions are inspired by the parallels between growth in the outer world and growth in your inner world. Set aside some sacred time. Take a few deep breaths. Get out your cards and see what comes up. I hope you find something useful here!
If you try this spread and would like to share your thoughts, please do! Leave a comment and let me know how it goes.
PS: Last year I shared some spring cleaning journal prompts for the equinox. If you’re craving even more spring-inspired reflection, check it out!

Hi Carrie,
Just wanted to say Thank You for the lovely Spring Inspiration lay-out; Growth Mindset. How fittingly delightful. I hadn’t pulled a card for myself in a while…(sadly so) and decided to just do it. It was amazing. I used the Wild Wood Taro Deck which I absolutely love & it was beautiful… so perfect for me. On my e-mail You had mistakenly left out #6 and put #7 instead for the spread and I was a bit confused. I decided to just add a 7th card so I read the 6th &7th pull together as one. It was the 9 & 10 of vessels which was SOOO cool. Lots of heart energy flowing through to me in that spread so I just had to share with You and THANK YOU again. Hope it comes back to You in equally generous proportion.
Happy Spring New Year Renewal !!!
Hi Melody! I’m so glad you liked the spread. 🙂 I realized after I sent the email that I had ‘7’ on the graphic and it was supposed to say ‘6.’ I fixed it here on the blog but unfortunately the wrong version went out via email! Either way, I’m glad you found a way to adjust it that worked well.
Hi Melody, having just read your comment I have to tell you that as I chose my 6th card a 7th card jumped out with it! Meant to be 🙂
Thank you Carrie! This surprised me as this piece really came for what has been gnawing at me and answered questions head on. I was startled by this layout because all of the cards unblocked a cloud in my mind allowing me to think more clearly.
