The “Celtic Cross” Spread

Despite it’s complexity, the “Celtic Cross” is a spread that has been in used for many ages. And in it’s complexity, lays its charm. I find this spread to be the most helpful in complicated situations, because it’s versatile and it’s positions deliver vast amount of information that can be read in several ways depending on the combinations. It points to issues that are of the client’s own making, but also shows what outside influences are at play.

#1 – It presents your current situation.

#2 – This across card will either tell you what is helping you or what is holding you back.

#3 – It tackles your subconscious influences. What does your heart truly desire that you are unaware of? These influences you do not know have powerful effect in your everyday life.

#4 – This is your past card. What past events or issues are bugging your life until now? Bad past may have an adverse effect in your current situation that you probably need to let go real soon, and good past must be acknowledged as your life inspiration.
