BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Tarot Practicing tarot reading using the celtic cross spread...

Hiya, i was wondering if i might practice some tarot readings please? If i may, i don't want to know the question. I want to practice the celtic cross. Or anyone want to swap readings?

Sure. You can read me.

And if you want, I will read you.

Hiya lori, great. Ok give me a few and i will be back with your celtic cross k. I am using the tarot favole deck. And the positions will be... 01. You 02. Covers you 03. Crosses you 04. Beneath you 05. Behind you 06. Crowns you 07. Ahead of you 08. Shows what you fear the most 09. Family & social enviroment 10. Your hopes 11. Final result after that, we do some comparing of the cards. 1 with 11, 2 with 10, 3 with 9, 4 with 8 and so on to give you a complete celtic cross with card 6 as the theme of reading. I start out with all cards upright, so if 1 or more happens to show up reversed, its meant to be that way. Thank you lori, be back in a few... hugs, Diana

Hiya again lori, sorry it took me a while longer than i wanted it to. Unexpected company arrived and then i was debating my approach to your reading... I have decided to myself to treat it as i would if you were right here in my room with me. :) i have not done this particular celtic cross before and your my very first online reading too so here goes... 01. Justice - 11. Ace crosses 02. Knight of masks - 10. 9 of flowers 03. 7 of masks - 09. King flowers 04. Knave of butterflies - 08. 4 of butterflies 05. Judgment - 07. 5 of butterflies 06. 7 of crosses ok, i wrote spread out like that so you could see what cards are being compared. But first i will just say i havent thrown any clarifiers yet, but may on a couple to give me the direction i should take the reading. I think with that said, not having a clue what your question is i think 01. Justice which is suppose to be the questioner is like a principal of a school and the 02. knight of masks is someone like a teacher, i feel she either doesnt know the whole truth herself, or may be trying to cover something up. 03. 7 of masks means rethink your options and to me that is what justice is doing. She doesnt seem to be too sure she has disciplined the appropriate person nor correctly. She seems a bit sad. Or i should say disappointed by what she has heard or done. But, she hasnt got all the truthful information. The 04. Knave of butterflies looks a bit down too like she took the blame for the girl in judgment which so far has got away with something. But i think judgments conscience is bothering her as shown in the 07. 5 of butterflies - getting away with something but not sure it was worth it. Seeing how the 04. knave of butterflies is getting like a 'time out' as shown with the 08. 4 of butterflies. As far as the 09. king of flowers goes he is a kind hearted person whom i think will do a bit of counseling given the 03. 7 of masks. Now the 10. 9 of flowers is like your yes card as well as make a wish card. Followed by 11. Ace of crosses which is the a spark that is needed to raise awareness to this situation. So to speak so that its worked into the 'game plan' or 'books' so not to be repeated. Now the 06. 7 of crosses here is the competition card. Which means to 'follow through' and you will succeed! Having the faith to believe in yourself or situation will end satisfactory for all who are involved. Another meaning for that justice card we started out with. I had another idea about this spread, but i chose this 1 so... Let me know about how far in left field i am...lol i enjoyed doing it either way. And yes would love to have my cards read by you. Let me know what you need from me, k. hugs diana

Thank you, Diana, for doing this for me. I'm unfamiliar with that deck, but how symbolic it was that you chose it since it includes butterflies. Butterflies have a significant meaning for me.

In any case, I did not have any particular question in mind when I posted this request. I need to reflect on the cards you pulled for me...

As for your reading, I prefer if you provide me with a question!

Goodmorning lori, ok, here goes... This is a concern of mine... I am in a 5yr relationship with someone he - 06/06/77 me - 04/04/67. This is sort of 2 parts to the same thing... July 2010, was it a spirit guide or guardian angel that sent me an instant knowing of my boyfriend? And while i waited with others outside in car for 25 min... Was he faithful? I basically want to know is he trust worthy? I will send you a message later if you want to let you know what my message was from what i call my instant knowing... Thanx lori, look forward to your response. hugs, diana

Hi Diana,

First, let me explain that I am rusty at this. I'm using a virtual deck (Diamond deck) with a five-card spread that is called Love's Revelations.

There are no clear and direct answers to your two questions but you can interpret the following as your intuition guides you:

1. Yesterdays: Ace of Cups. My interpretation of this card in
this position is that in the past, you seemed to trust your heart and intuition in love, and that you offered your heart without restraints or conditions so you were able to make a joyful love connection. Your "cup runneth over" was the feeling.

2. Influences: Wheel of Fortune. Someone helped you turn things around in your life.

3. Todays: Seven of Pentacles (reversed). This card suggests there is a lack of trust. Picking and nagging. Suspicions. Jumping to conclusions. Impatience with situation. Pushing for resolution too quickly.

4. Knowledge: King of Swords (reversed). Time to reconsider your hard stance on a matter that is affecting your love life. Do you want to be right or do you want to be alone? Facts may not add up to happiness and you could end up with a cold bed. Pick your battles. Avoid temptation to retaliate. If he sees no way out, he could get indifferent, sarcastic, vindictive.

5. Great Expectations: Temperance (reversed.) Conditions in your love life could turn messy. What started as a romantic or passionate relationship could be disturbed by careless mistakes or explosive tempers.

You could feel unbalanced by this.

**

I implore you to trust your own intuition on this, diana. I only pull the cards. But I can tell you my overall feeling on this is that YES to the spirit guide (Wheel of Fortune) help. I did a one-card reading for your question about his cheating:

Empress. How would interpret that in regards to your question? My interpretation of this card in this situation would be that YOU (or perhaps a mother figure in your life) know the answer.

But I did another one-card reading for clarification:

1. Page of Pentacles (reversed). To me, this card implies that if he didn't cheat, it could be an idea he is flirting with. This card suggests he is somewhat of a playboy.

Does any of this make sense to you?

Lori, thank you for taking the time out to do this reading for me. It makes sense and i will move forward knowing that i can trust myself more than i have been lately. Thank you again, hugs diana

Hi diana, I only pulled the cards on the virtual reader and shared some of the comments that came up. They weren't "my" interps (in the beginning portion of the post).

I'm glad they made sense for you.

As for my reading, I'm unfamiliar with your deck. (I use the universal Rider-Waite deck.) I'm still thinking and reflecting on the reading. It may be relevant to someone very, very close to me and what is going on with her employment situation. I have been worried about it and for my friend.

There is a school principal involved and the part about someone taking the blame for someone else--that relates to this work situation. Also, a cover-up (someone trying to protect someone else) and a "time-out" is taking place.

It's good to know that there will be a successful outcome for her and all involved.

How odd that this reading came through like this. I didn't have my own question for you, really, but I had been very worried about this situation even though I am not involved at all. Thank you for shedding light upon it. As I said, I'm very relieved to know that all will be well for everyone.
