Acceptance Tarot Spread for Navigating Life Transitions with Clarity

Some transitions arrive without warning. Plans shift, identities evolve, and life moves in a direction you did not expect. In these moments resistance can feel natural, yet acceptance creates the stability needed to move forward. This spread helps you understand the transition you are experiencing and meet it with awareness.
