Oracle Positioning Pt1: Advanced Intuitive Card Reading
Discover how foregrounds, backgrounds, and spatial details in oracle card imagery add powerful layers of meaning
Have you been feeling your intuition pulling you further, deeper?
Have you noticed that a card sometimes speaks through where its details are placed, not just what they are?
Do you find yourself drawn to what sits at the front of an image, what hides in the background, or how the scene is arranged?
If these questions resonate, your intuition may already be guiding you toward the next, more advanced level of your oracle reading journey.
This course will help you answer that call.
Why positioning matters
Most readers never move past the surface of a card; they lean on the guidebook or glance at a single symbol. However, positioning invites you to look deeper. Foreground and background, and subtle layers of placement all carry meaning when your intuition calls you to notice them.
By learning to recognise these cues, you’ll elevate your readings from flat interpretations into living, dynamic conversations with your cards. Positioning doesn’t replace your intuitive flow, it expands it, making your messages more personal, nuanced, and resonant.
What you’ll discover inside
This isn’t about theory alone. You’ll explore positioning through clear examples, drawing from a wide range of oracle decks, each chosen to highlight how placement shifts meaning.
You’ll learn how…
… foreground and background details can alter the emphasis of a card.
… everyday language, art, and symbolism reveal how positioning speaks.
… harmony and tension between elements create additional layers of understanding.
… the shadow side of positioning shows when details distract, overwhelm, or mislead.
… practical exercises will help you practise and grow confident in recognising when positioning feels relevant.
By the end, you’ll have not only new knowledge, you’ll also direct experience applying it to your own readings.
Is this course right for you?
That’s such an important question to ask yourself before moving forward. So, I invite you to pause for a moment and reflect on your answers to the following:
- Do I already feel confident interpreting cards and have plenty of experience and practice behind me?
- Have I mastered symbols and colours, and feel ready to take my readings to the next advanced level?
- Am I eager to refine my practice with subtle, nuanced techniques that stretch my intuitive ability?
- Am I open to personal discovery, building meaning that resonates with me rather than following fixed rules?
If you answered “yes” to all (or most) of these, then you’re ready for this course.
What happens after
By completing this course, you’ll have taken your readings into advanced territory where positioning adds dimension, depth, and subtlety to the messages you receive. You’ll know when positioning matters, when it doesn’t, and how to let your intuition guide you to what’s most relevant.
And this is just the beginning. With Part 1 complete, you’ll be perfectly prepared to step into Part 2, where we’ll take positioning even further into advanced techniques and applications.
So. If your intuition has been nudging you to look deeper, to see more than what’s on the surface, this is your next step.
Join me inside, and take the next step into this deeper, more intuitive way of reading.
