Celtic Cross Online Tarot Reading

The classic ten-card spread, in use for over a century. It lays out the whole of a situation — where you stand, what crosses you, what it rests on, past and future, yourself and your surroundings. Read the 1–2–10 spine first, then let the other seven fill it in.

What questions does this spread suit?

  • What is really going on here, and where am I stuck?
  • How did this relationship get here, and where does it go next?
  • Should I make this decision — and what am I not seeing?
