Waite advised Tarot readers that the Celtic Cross was best suited for \u201cobtaining an answer to a definite question,\u201d but also said that it will \u201cserve all purposes\u201d. He then went into a fairly detailed guide of when and how to use the Celtic Cross. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example of when to use the Celtic Cross spread, Waite asked, \u201cWill a lawsuit be necessary,\u201d and suggested using the Major Arcana card of Justice as a significator card to represent the law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Waite\u2019s classic Celtic Cross spread the cards are laid out as shown in the illustration.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many modern-day Tarot readers have adapted Waite\u2019s version of the Celtic Cross to suit their purposes and you can too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarot Reading, 5-Minutes Free!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve recently started working with an online psychic reading company and I’ve received some great feedback.

(Although, like all things Tarot, the clearer your question is, the clearer the answer will be). <\/p>\n\n\n\n The key to properly interpreting this spread \u2013 and knowing when to use it \u2013 is to remember that the cards reveal a narrative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll drive yourself nuts trying to interpret each card on its own, one at a time, so it\u2019s really important to be familiar with the Tarot cards and their meanings before delving into the Celtic Cross.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out these 2 articles that provide details about the meanings of the Major and Minor Arcana and some strategies to quickly learn how to read these cards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you want to know if that handsome hippy who DM\u2019ed you on Instagram is a potential soulmate, whether or not your current relationship will work out, or even for insight into a business relationship or friendship \u2013 the Celtic Cross can shed light on the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While every Tarot reader has their own code of ethics \u2013 it\u2019s best to make these kinds of questions about you and what\u2019s in your control (eg. \u201cWhat will my love life look like over the next month?\u201d) vs. how the other person feels about you (\u201cWill Mo fall in love with me?\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve written a couple of articles related to Tarot and love:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes you don\u2019t know what you want to know, and that\u2019s OK. You can use the Celtic Cross for general readings \u2013 or Tarot forecasts \u2013 of what the near future holds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, you could ask what life will look like over the next six months. When you use the Celtic Cross for general reading \u2013 look to the Tarot suits to guide you on major focus areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if pentacle cards dominate the reading, then your focus will be on money and material things. If there\u2019s a mix of suits, look for what is missing to guide you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if you don\u2019t see many (or any) cups in your Celtic Cross it could mean that your love life will take a backseat in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Major Arcana cards<\/a> dominate the Celtic Cross spread \u2013 it means that you should pay attention as life-altering events will likely occur soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it\u2019s mostly Minor Arcana Tarot cards<\/a> then it will probably be a fairly uneventful period. (Which isn\u2019t a bad thing! Most of daily life is accurately represented by the Minors). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know that you can use the Tarot to help you to manifest your goals and make your dreams a reality? With a few modifications, the Celtic Cross can even serve as a life path map. This is truly a unique way to use the Celtic Cross Spread that I haven\u2019t seen anywhere else!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choose the version you like best (or create your own). The only difference in the method is that you will intentionally choose each card to represent the position and lay it face up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example – if your goal is to build lasting wealth for generations to come – you may want to choose the ten of Pentacles for the outcome position to represent that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s important to be deliberate and intentional about each card you choose. Once all the cards are laid out in the Celtic Cross and modified for manifestation – you’ll have a road map for achieving your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more details about manifesting your desires, read these articles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the Celtic Cross is one of the most insightful spreads available to you \u2013 there are times when you should consider using another spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re new to the Tarot and still need to look up every card meaning then this ten-card spread can be overkill. You\u2019ll be better off practicing with simple 1-3 card spreads until you know the cards so well that you don\u2019t need keywords or anything to jog your memory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That said, you can still use it to practice by recording the cards and their meanings in a diary. As you gain more experience you can look back and see if your interpretations were right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You definitely should not use the Celtic Cross spread when you\u2019re feeling anxious, depressed, angry, or otherwise out of sorts. Actually, it\u2019s best to avoid any divination tool when you\u2019re feeling emotional as the cards will more than likely reflect your mood and fail to give you an accurate reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you want to see the Tower<\/a> as the outcome in a relationship reading when you\u2019re already in a funk? <\/p>\n\n\n\n For times like this, you could cleanse your cards and your space. Here are a few examples of when to use the Celtic Cross Spread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Doing some of these activities can help you to get centered and feel better.\u00a0 Sometimes, just shuffling your cards, and looking and studying the cards can have a meditative effect.\u00a0 Try it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned earlier, every Tarot reader has their own code of ethics and subject matters they will and won\u2019t read on. For many, questions about health, life or death, pregnancy, and legal matters are big no-nos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While this is a no-judgment zone \u2013 if you do decide to read on taboo subjects or ask questions you don\u2019t really want answers to \u2013 then prepare yourself mentally for the worst-case scenarios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a professional, be very careful using the Celtic Cross \u2013 or any Tarot spread \u2013 for questions, your client may be better off not knowing answers to.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related to some of these questions, I\u2019ve written a few articles for further review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, the Celtic Cross spread is too much to use daily. It also doesn\u2019t work if you keep asking the same question until you get the answer you want. It\u2019s best to ask once and then let the situation unfold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If it\u2019s something long-term \u2013 you shouldn\u2019t use the Celtic Cross on the same question more than once a month.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember, we all have free will. While the Celtic Cross can be a valuable tool to help us gain insight into our lives \u2013 as long as we know\u00a0when to use it<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 the cards that fall are not set in stone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all spreads, the Celtic Cross tells us what\u00a0may\u00a0<\/em>be, based on our current life path. If you change your situation, you can change the outcome and your fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in getting a tarot reading, then as a VekkeSind reader, you can get 5 minutes free<\/a>.
