1.3) The Line Spread (#5, C1, L)

Layout:
  5  4  3  2  1

Deal:  Right to Left

Reading:
Cards 4 and 5 represent the future
Card 3 represents the prenysent
Cards 1 and 2 represent the past

Variation: A simple, and very commonly used, variation of the Five
Card Spread works as follows:  instead of placing two cards on each
side of the present card, place three our four, yielding a seven or
nine card spread (or go higher if you wish).  The further you get
from the center card, the further into the past/future you are
looking.
