One of the most in-depth tarot readings that can be done, either by you or a professional, is the Celtic Cross Spread. This particular spread is also one of the most popular spreads used in tarot readings today.
To do a Celtic Cross spread, shuffle the cards while thinking of your question. When you feel you are ready, split the deck into three piles with your left hand. Place the first one to your left, then the next one to the right of the first pile, and so on. Next, still using your left hand, take the pile on your right and place it on top of the middle pile, then place the middle pile on top of the last one. Now you are ready to begin your tarot card spread.
With your left hand lay down the first card, the second card will then be placed sideways across half of the first card.
Card number three will go beneath card number two, and the forth card will be placed to the left of card number one.
The fifth card goes above the first card, and then the sixth card is placed to the right of the first card.
To complete the cross, you will need to lay down the final four cards in a row on the right side of the cross. Lay down the seventh card, with the eight above that, then the ninth above that, and finally the tenth should be in line with card number five.
Tarot readings begin once this spread has been completed, and a specific meaning is assigned to each of the ten cards. This spread may seem complicated, and will more then likely lead to some confusion at first, but the more often you do the spread, the easier it gets.
Tarot readings done using the Celtic Cross spread are accomplished with ten cards laid out in the form of a cross. Besides being one of the most popular spreads used in tarot readings, it is also one of the most in-depth.
Once the Celtic Cross spread has been laid out, tarot readings using this form can begin. The common interpretations are derived from the meanings below.
There are ten cards in this spread, and each one represents the following:
Card one: The Significator - your current state of mind, and your main concern.
Card two: The Crossing - for the good or not, it is what opposes or influences you.
Card three: Foundation - what brought on the situation, the origin of your question.
Card four: Recent past – what is behind you, past issues and events, things that just happened.
Card five: Crown – your current issues and what may come to be.
Card six: The future – things that lie ahead of you, what may happen.
Card seven: Emotions – the state your emotions are in now.
Card eight: External forces – the influences of others around you.
Card nine: Hopes and desires – what you want the outcome of your question to be.
Card ten: The outcome – this is the result, the outcome of your question.
Tarot readings are commonly used for entertainment purposes, but for those who are seeking true answers to the issues in their lives, this card spread can shed light on the situation. However, all answers given as a result of tarot readings must be taken in stride and with the understanding that it can be changed by your own doing.
