The full 10-Card Celtic Cross Spread is probably one of the most difficult Tarot Spreads to interpret, yet when completely understood, this incredible spread offers more enlightenment than any other. Sure, the Celtic Cross is normally printed in each Tarot Deck booklet, and each interpretation is similar to the next. To the aspiring Tarot Reader this would seem a rather simple spread to take on with booklet in hand and just read each card in relation to it's position. However, delving into the relationships between the cards is where the mastery comes in.
Position One and Two relate to the inner 'circle', One pertaining to the issue at hand and Two pertaining to what is crossing or adding to the issue.
Position Three, Four, Five and Six then relate to the outlying circumstances.
Three relates to that which is the Root.
Four relates to that of the Past.
Five relates to that which you aspire to.
Six to the most likely near future. (Bearing that you continue the way you do)
These six cards together relate then to the feminine/passive side of your situation. So to understand the cross better, one would then look at the relationships between 3,1, and 5 - the root, the now, and what you're aspiring to. Then take into consideration 4, 2, and 6 - the past, present and near future.
The Staff, Position Seven to Ten, then relate to the masculine active side of your situation. Think of a staff and what one could accomplish with a Staff! That energy is yours to wield! Thereby Position Seven would then relate to you, the querent, how you see yourself!
Position 8 would pertain to the influence and impact you have on those surrounding you as well as how you are being impacted upon by others. The laws of causality play a strong roll here.
Position 9 relates to your hopes and fears. So many people are stumped here, "How can your hopes and fears be in one card?" I get asked this so many times. However, it is often said, "Be careful what you wish for!" Yes, very often that what we truly wish for is that which we most fear.
Position 10 then concludes that if we continue on the path we're on, bearing in mind that the future is not in stone, then position 10 is our outcome card.
To ascertain a complete relationship here, take a deeper look at the relationships of each staff card, 7 - earth, 8 - water, 9 Air, 10 Fire - how do they relate to each of the cards within the cross?
