Abundance Blocks Tarot Spread

BY NICOLE LAU

Abundance is your natural state—the universe is infinitely abundant, and you are part of that abundance. Yet many people experience scarcity, struggle, and lack, not because abundance isn't available, but because unconscious blocks prevent them from receiving it. The Abundance Blocks Tarot Spread is designed to help you identify what's blocking your abundance flow, understand scarcity patterns, and clear the way for prosperity to enter your life naturally and easily.

This guide teaches you to use tarot to identify abundance blocks, shift from scarcity to abundance consciousness, and open yourself to receive the prosperity that's your birthright.

Understanding Abundance Blocks

Abundance blocks are unconscious beliefs, patterns, or behaviors that prevent you from receiving, creating, or maintaining abundance.

Common Abundance Blocks:
• Scarcity mindset ("There's not enough")
• Unworthiness ("I don't deserve abundance")
• Fear of success or visibility
• Guilt about having more than others
• Difficulty receiving
• Self-sabotage when things go well
• Poverty consciousness from family/culture

Signs of Abundance Blocks: Chronic financial struggle, difficulty receiving compliments/help/money, self-sabotage when success comes, guilt about prosperity, fear of asking for what you're worth
