Celtic Cross Layout

 

The Celtic Cross is the most well-known tarot spread and also the largest layout available here, involving ten dominoes. This layout begins with a pair of crossing dominoes at the center of the issue, essentially being two significators. When two significators are involved, they may strengthen or oppose each other, which speaks of the nature of the situation. Above and below the initial cross, we have two dominoes which are symbolic of the intellectual (top) and emotional (bottom) basis of the issue. The Before and After dominoes show the past and immediate future.

At the right, four dominoes are laid out, going upward. At the bottom you have a domino representing yourself, and the next domino shows how others may affect the situation. Card #9 indicates what you may be hoping for, or possibly, what you hope will not happen. Finally at the top is the outcome, meaning the distant or ultimate future.

The Significator represents what the main theme of the reading deals with, the initial situation.

 

 

Blank/Five

This tile suggests thinking about making some kind of sacrifice for the sake of family. It also suggests building upon the family, strengthening it as a group in some way. Have you or someone close been thinking about having children?

 

 

 

 

The Crossing Domino denotes an added impulse that compounds the initial domino, whether complimentary or contradictory.

 

One/Four

You may not be feeling yourself at this time. Times can be tough, but it is these times that show us what we are made of. Pay attention to the way you behave because this is what defines you as a person, your character. It might not seem like it, but this could be one of the good times you will look back upon.

 

 

 

 

The Crown stands for what the asker is aware of consciously.

 

Two/Five

This tile suggests that self-reflection is necessary. Look within. Perhaps you recently had a dream that is still on your mind. Analyse your dreams and look to your fantasies and daydreams to find the key.

 

 

 

 

Foundation domino reveals unconscious driving forces that the querent may not be aware of.

 

Three/Four

This tile is about sharing. You may meet or know someone who could benefit from your experience. This does not suggest offering unsolicited advice, but simply being willing to share. Your knowledge could be a lifesaver for someone even if you have no idea it could be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Recent Past represents past events and concerns.

 

One/One

It is a great time to pursue new ventures. Partnerships with like-minded people are favoured. The combination of energies drives the group to achieve impressive things. Sometimes these possibilities can get a little wild, so you'll have to weigh the risks vs rewards.

 

 

 

 

The Future depicts that which lies ahead.

 

One/Five

We all need a little help from time to time. This tile suggests to be humble but not ashamed. Be thankful and not prideful in accepting any aid. Remember that nobody owes you anything.

 

 

 

 

The Querent represents the asker and their attitude towards the subject of the reading.

 

Blank/Blank

You are an artist with a blank canvas. It is up to you to choose how you fill it. You will discover new abilities that you may or may not have considered. It is up to you, which talents to cultivate. You are capable of more than you know. Make what you will.

 

 

 

 

External Forces represents the influence of others in your life as well as trends in your relationships with others.

 

One/Six

This tile is a sign of completion. It's a great time to tie up any loose ends. You should complete old projects before starting new ones. Be wary of spreading yourself too thin. Focus completely on the moment so that you can proceed to the place you want to be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hopes and Fears shows the expectations you have concerning the outcome of your question.

 

Two/Four

This tile suggests a setback. Sometimes we need to take ourselves out of the game, perhaps to heal. Take advantage of this time in every way that you can, just remember to take it easy.

 

 

 

 

The Outcome of your question. Interpret this domino in the context of the entire reading and as an indicator of the path you are currently on, but not necessarily bound to.

 

Five/Six

Your troubles will soon wane. You will know true peace and harmony on both the spiritual and physical plane. Happiness and satisfaction will be yours.
