Cards 7 through 10
I've been studying the Tarot for two months now and of course have been exposed to the Celtic Cross spread. In the literature I've read, there are two lines of thought as to the meanings of cards 7 and 9:
First Method
Card 7 - Yourself
Card 9 - Your hopes and fears
Second Method
Card 7 - Your hopes
Card 9 - Your fears
I know that ultimately, with practice, my intuition should tell me which method will work best for me (just as it did with respect to the various positions for cards 3 through 6), but I was wondering if anyone who has more experience using the Celtic Cross spread could give me some insight on either or both methods of reading cards 7 and 9.
Thanks,
Hal
