The Celtic Cross

The Celtic Cross

The Celtic Cross is tarot's most famous spread — 10 cards giving a comprehensive view of any situation. It's intimidating at first, but once you learn the positions, it becomes second nature.

The 10 Positions

1. The Heart — Core of the situation
2. The Cross — What crosses or challenges you
3. The Crown — What's possible, your potential
4. The Root — Subconscious influences, what's beneath
5. The Past — What's passing away
6. The Future — What's approaching
7. Your Attitude — How you see the situation
8. External Influences — What others/environment bring
9. Hopes & Fears — What you wish for or dread
10. The Outcome — Where this leads if current path continues
