Deep Self-Discovery

“What is actually going on with me?”

The 10-card layout

1. You, in this
2. What crosses it
3. What it grew from
4. What has just passed
5. What is at the top of your mind
6. What arrives next
7. What you bring to it
8. What the people around you bring
9. What you hope for and dread
10. Where this is going

Hold your question in mind, then shuffle.

Turning the deck is why cards come out reversed. A reversed card is not a bad card - it is the same card at a lower ebb, blocked, or on its way out.

The Celtic Cross: ten cards, a cross and a staff. The longest and most demanding reading here - the situation and what crosses it, the past under it, what is conscious, what is coming, and the long outcome.

What each position asks

These meanings belong to this spread. A card is read for the place it lands in, so the same card says something different in position 1 than it does in position 10.
