Lately I've been thinking about how to incorporate elemental dignities into the Celtic Cross spread. I happened across this:
http://www.supertarot.co.uk/spread/10celtic.htm
on the very useful and informative supertarot site. However, I can't say that I agree with most of the elemental designations the author gives to the various positions.
Refering to the positions as numbered on the supertarot site:
1 and 2: I agree with these.
3: I agree that 3 is air, but it should be east, not north.
5: I agree with 5 is fire, but it should be south, not east.
4: This should be water, as water/cups rule over the subconscious. The direction should be west.
6: This should be earth, as earth shows the crystallization/materialization of the other 3 elements, and the past is that which has already materialized. This as opposed to fire, which in the position of 5 would show the "spark" of inspiration that will, in time, move downwards into physical manifestation.
7, 8, 9, and 10 should be reverse, in my opinion.
So that:
7 = Fire. Your impression of your-self
8 = Water. The impressions you leave on others, or what others think of you. This is the complimentary opposite of 7.
9 = Air. 7 + 8 produces your mental state or personality. Hopes and Fears.
10 = Earth. The crystalization of 9 and/or the entire reading. Outcome.
Again, this is all just my opinion. I was hoping that some other people have thought about this as well. If so, would you mind posting your own attributions here?
