Tarot

Celtic cross

The deepest classical layout: ten positions that take a situation apart from several angles at once. Slower to read, and worth it when a question has more than one moving part.

Drawn here and not saved. Nothing is tied to you.

The positions

  1. The present Where the situation stands.
  2. What crosses it The tension running through it.
  3. Foundation What this grew out of.
  4. Recent past What is on its way out.
  5. What you hold What you are consciously aiming at.
  6. What is near What is approaching in this stretch.
  7. Your stance How you are standing in this.
  8. Around you What the people and setting add.
  9. Hopes and fears What you want and what you dread, often the same thing.
  10. Where it leads Where this is heading and what you influence.

Good for a tangled situation you have already thought about. The tenth position asks where this is heading and what you influence, which is why it is not called an outcome here.

What this spread will not do

It gives themes to think with. It does not answer yes or no, name a date, or tell you what another person will decide. Those layouts are absent here on purpose.

How the shuffle works

Cards are drawn with a cryptographic random source and a uniform shuffle: every card is equally likely in every position, and orientation is a separate coin flip. Nothing is picked to fit your question or to sell you anything, and a spread is fixed before it is interpreted.

Keep your spreads

With an account the card of the day is drawn once and stays put, spreads are saved with your notes, and the reading over them is one step away.

Go to tarot

Cards are prompts for reflection. They describe themes, not events.

For self-reflection and entertainment — not a prediction of fate and not professional advice.
