How to Do a Celtic Cross Spread

Now, this is where the magic starts. The Celtic Cross has 10 cards, and each one tells you something specific. I don’t use a “significator card” like some folks do; I just dive right in. Here’s the order I lay them down:

Card 1: The Heart of It All. This is the very first card. I place it right in the center. This card just screams “this is what’s happening right now.” It’s the core of the whole situation, what’s directly on your mind or affecting you most.
Card 2: What’s Crossing You. I take the next card and lay it horizontally right across the first one. This one always feels like it’s saying, “And here’s the snag.” It’s either an obstacle, a challenge, or sometimes, something that’s actually helping or complementing the situation. It’s what’s messing with the first card.
Card 3: The Foundation. This card goes right below the center card. Think of it as the roots. It’s the subconscious stuff, the past influences, the things you might not even realize are driving the current situation. It’s what’s been building up underneath everything.
Card 4: What’s Behind You. This one goes to the left of the center card. This is pure past stuff. What’s just happened, what’s fading away, what experiences led you to this point. It’s history, but history that’s still got a bit of a tail on it.
Card 5: What’s Crowning You. Next, I put a card right above the center. This is your goal, your potential, what you’re aiming for, or sometimes, even what could be distracting you. It’s what’s on the horizon, what’s coming into focus.
Card 6: What’s Coming. This card goes to the right of the center. This one shows what’s coming up soon in the near future. It’s the next immediate step or event that’s headed your way.
