Celtic Cross Tarot Spread: A Guide to Its Ten Positions
The Celtic Cross is a wide-ranging reading for questions with context, influences and several possibilities. In Oráculo it's available within voice consultations.
Quick answer
In short
The Celtic Cross is an advanced ten-card spread for questions with a lot of context. Oráculo recommends it when you need to see influences, environment and likely trend — not for a quick yes or no.
How to use this reading
It's worth using when a three-card table falls short. It needs a well-defined question and time to connect the ten positions; it's not the best choice for a quick yes or no.
Card positions
- Current situation.
- Immediate influence.
- What crowns the matter.
- Root of the issue.
- Recent past.
- Future influence.
- The querent's attitude.
- Environment.
- Hopes and fears.
- Possible outcome.
