A spread is a preset pattern or a template guiding the placement of the cards. It defines how many cards to use, where each one goes, and what each one means. It is within this template that the meanings of the cards come together.
The most important feature of a spread is the fact that each position has a unique meaning that color the interpretation of whatever card falls in that spot.
