celtic cross
Below I have a list of what meanings I give to the positions in the Celtic Cross - however position 7 never really means emotions for me, I can't quiet put my finger on it.... Any suggestions? 1. present position 2. immediate influences 3. most apparent in life 4. root of the reading 5. Past influences 6. near future 7. ....emotions? 8. outside influences 9. hopes/fears 10. what is to come The other positions work well for me....except 7. Any advice appreciated. Thanks. Bright Blessings, Evie |

When I first started reading, the 7th position was 'you doorway from the past to the future' ... ie what you have to do to get there. It seems odd now, so I rarely use the CC anymore, and if I do, I allow my intuition to tell me what is the meaning of the position, if any. Moreso these days, there is a story in the cards that wishes to be told, and therefore the positions have barely any significance. allibee |

For me (and others I'm certain) this card represent you, your 'self', how your attitudes, bahaviour and emotions impact on the question at hand. It is sort of your reaction to the small cross (positions 1 and 2). By comparing and combining this position with your positions 4 and 9, you may find you have a more complete picture of your impact on the reading on an emotional, attitudinal and experiential level.

Here's the version I follow. It's been modified as I learn more. 1. Significator - the querant. I usually let them pick this card out for themselves 2. "What crosses you" - immediate opposition, could be internal, external or a combination of both 3. "What is beneath you" - the root of the problem, why the question was asked, situation around querant, very immediate past 4. "What is behind you" - also immediate past that the querant may or may not still be influenced by. 5. "What is above you" - also why the querant asked, what s/he wants, aspirations, goals, desires 6. "What is before you" - immediate future 7. "What is within you" - how the querant views themselves and their environment, where they percieve they fit into their environment 8. "What is outside you" - outside influences, how others view the querant and their situation, how others think the querant fits into their surroundings. 9. "What is before you" - future complications, further oppostition, how to deal with oppositions 10. "Ultimate outcome" - along with #6, this is what will happen |

I always thought that the meaning was represented by it's location: Current path(1) Against(2 cross) Base/support(3) Past actions/decisions(4) Desires(5) Possible outcome from sitters' actions alone(6) Summery of quarent's situation(7) Known influences/friends & family(8) Unknown influences/behind the scenes(9) Possible outcome + new variables(10) ____5____10 ____2____9 _4__1_6__8 ____3____7 But then my Faery Wicca tarot book has it different also. 1. The base of the situation 2 (cross). The energy the querent is bringing to the situation 3. What could come or will eventualy happen 4. The strength or foundation of the situation 5. The element of change, what might be leaving or entering #3 6. The unexpected, what needs to be considered 7. Other people and how they relate to the querent 8. Self;how the querent is relating to others involved in the situation 9. What element needs to shift between the querent and others 10. Possible future if all positions are worked with ____3_____10 ____2_____9 _6__1__5__8 ____4_____7 Also does anyone use the last four positions? (11-14) Or is that just unique in that only my deck book has them listed. (And quite honeslty they seem redundant)

10 9 8 7 the position is use: 7 -this card is the person in question and their proper perspetive in teh reading 8 - this represents other people and how they relate to the person related in card 7 9 -inner feelings, emotions, hidden influences, the reading is coming to a conlcusion 10-conclusion, immediate outcome, what is coming to be, what is probably unavoidable it is this grouping of 4 cards that make the celtic cross the celtic cross, it takes the information from the cross part and establisihes an independent set of interpretations based on other issues that may need to be addessed.
