Classic Celtic Cross Spread

A classic tarot spread -- best used when answering a specific question

Card #1 represents the present.

You've drawn the Ace of Wands which has a theme of Creative Strength and shows up in concepts like beginnings, inspiration, potential, courage, enthusiasm. This card indicates the present heart of the matter. It includes your present environment (both internal and external) and primary factor or dominant characteristic of the situation.

Card #2 represents immediate challenge.

You've drawn the Reversed Queen of Cups card. This means you're getting a reversed version of Intuitive energy, so it's manifesting as Co-Dependency and shows up looking like unreliable, inefficient, moodiness, lacking confidence. This card indicates the immediate challenge you face. Even if your seems positive, keep in mind that it represents a challenge that must be overcome.

Card #3 represents the foundation.

You've drawn the Three of Pentacles which has a theme of Teamwork and shows up in concepts like learning, new skills, studying, apprentice, competence, planning. This card represents the distant past, the root cause, and the foundation upon which the present was built.

Card #9 represents hopes & fears.

You've drawn the Chariot which has a theme of Direction and shows up in concepts like victory, self-control, willpower, ambition, focus. This card can be confusing because so often our hopes and fears are tightly enmeshed. It can be what you are afraid of, a secret desire, what you suspect is true, what you long for, or what you’re avoiding.

#10

Card #10 represents overall outcome.

You've drawn the Reversed Strength card. This means you're getting a reversed version of Fortitude energy, so it's manifesting as Weakness and shows up looking like self-doubt, egoism, lack of self-discipline, suppressed urges. This is the most likely result, or where everything is leading. If this card is too ambiguous, consider drawing three extra cards to clarify.

Card #4 represents the recent past.

You've drawn the Eight of Swords which has a theme of Restriction and shows up in concepts like lacking direction, powerless, trapped, limiting beliefs. This card indicates events that have happened in the recent past, though not necessarily related to the question. It can also be something that is complete or something of now fading importance.

Card #5 represents the best outcome.

You've drawn the King of Wands which has a theme of Leadership and shows up in concepts like innovation, business, action, risk taker, charismatic, results. This card represents your conscious goals and purpose, and the best outcome of those goals. A negative card may indicate it is time to cut one’s losses.

Card #6 represents the immediate future.

You've drawn the Reversed Page of Pentacles card. This means you're getting a reversed version of Practicality energy, so it's manifesting as Bad News and shows up looking like unfulfilled promises, missed opportunities. This card indicates events upcoming in the next few days or weeks. It signifies what is pending or what is gaining in significance.

Card #7 represents internal influences.

You've drawn the Four of Swords which has a theme of Recuperation and shows up in concepts like recovery, retreat, de-stress, solitude, time out. This card indicates you as you are presently or how you could be. This includes inner feelings and underlying internal forces that are affecting the situation.

Card #8 represents outside influences.

You've drawn the Ten of Cups which has a theme of Happiness and shows up in concepts like family happiness, blessings, love, contentment, children. This card represents external forces that influence the situation and are beyond your control. It could be the outside environment, how others see you, or others’ expectations will affect you.
