The Harvest of the Heart tarot spread is a gentle way to pause and reflect on how far you’ve come. Whether you pull cards during the Thanksgiving season or anytime you want to reconnect with gratitude, this spread helps you notice the growth in your journey, even in the quiet moments.
Gratitude work isn’t just about saying thank you. It’s about noticing the small things you once wished for, the lessons that shaped you, and the things that are still unfolding. When we reflect with our cards, we open space for healing and new blessings to flow in.
How to Prepare
Before you begin, find a calm space where you can breathe deeply and center yourself. You might light a candle, hold your favorite crystal, or simply close your eyes for a few seconds to settle your energy.
How to Shuffle Your Cards
Shuffle your deck slowly and intentionally. With each movement, think about the past year and the energy of gratitude. You can repeat a quiet phrase such as “I am thankful for the lessons and the growth within me.”

How to Choose Your Cards
Spread your deck out in front of you or hold it in your hands. Let your intuition guide you toward the cards that feel warm, magnetic, or inviting. You can draw from the top, fan them out, or pick the ones that catch your eye first.
