What is Celtic Cross Tarot?
The Celtic Cross spread is the most famous and widely used tarot card spread, dating back at least to 1910. The reason for its popularity is its ability to deeply analyze the querent's current situation and obstacles, past and future, goals, self-perception and external perception, hopes and fears, and all of these aspects from various angles through 10 cards.
Each card has a unique meaning according to its position.
- 1st Card (Present): Current situation and the querent's state
- 2nd Card (Challenge): Current problem faced or obstacles hindering you
- 3rd Card (Foundation): Root cause of the current situation or strong past influence
- 4th Card (Recent Past): Recent events or experiences directly influencing the question
- 5th Card (Goal): Highest potential you can reach or achievable goals
- 6th Card (Near Future): Situations or outcomes that may appear in the near future
- 7th Card (Querent): Querent's attitude, emotions, or position regarding the current situation
- 8th Card (Environment): Surrounding environment, influence of others, or external perception of you

- 10th Card (Outcome): Final outcome or solution expected when all factors are considered
When interpreting the Celtic Cross spread, it's crucial not only to understand the individual meaning of each card but also to read how they connect to form a cohesive narrative. The cards reveal a flow from the past to the present and into the future, offering deep insights through the interaction of inner and outer environments.
