There are a huge number of Tarot layouts. Some better show the situation in personal life, others are focused on viewing the negative, while others allow you to see the situation as a whole.
Undoubtedly, the gem is the "Celtic Cross" layout. Despite the fact that it is quite simple to learn and it is recommended to start studying Tarot cards with it, it often gives the most accurate answer to the question posed. Let's consider some features. Let's start with the fact that the "Celtic Cross" layout is one of the most ancient. During fortune telling, the cards are laid out as follows. A card is selected that will indicate the one to whom they are guessing. In the "Celtic Cross" layout for women, this is the High Priestess, for men - Mage. Then it is covered with a map that reflects the essence of the problem, and on top - a map that tells you how to solve it. Then we put the third card over the client's cards and the first two. This is what one already knows aboutProblems. The fourth card is under the first two. In the broadest sense, it shows what caused the problem, so to speak, the root cause, what is "under the heart".
Next, place the card to the right of the Mage Priestess card. This past. The card to the left of the Priestess Mage is the future. Thus, we formed a kind of Celtic cross. The layout is further supplemented by 4 cards, which are placed to the right of the cross construction, either from the bottom up or from the top down. Of course, these are the general rules for reading the "Celtic Cross" layout. The meaning of each card should be interpreted in close interweaving with others and not contradict the laws of logic. Let's dwell on a more detailed decryption.
1. The first card is a description of the situation right now, so to speak, the general state of affairs. From it you can immediately understand how serious everything is.
2. The second is an external influence that can influence the situation.3. The third is the level of consciousness, that is, what the client himself understands about the problem.
4. The fourth is the level of the subconscious. These are the roots of the situation that a person himself may not even be aware of, attitudes that are difficult to correct and change precisely because they lie in the subconscious.
5. The fifth is the past. That is, what was both in a general sense and regarding the issue.
6. The sixth is the future. This is what will happen soon, within a week or a month.
The "Celtic Cross" itself is complete. Now let's look at additionalcards.
7. The seventh is the client himself, his attitude and thoughts regarding the situation, regarding what cards 1 and 2 show.
8. Eighth - external influence, the influence of other people on the situation. May also warn of false advice and dishonest friends.9. Ninth - fears and fears, as well as hopes, if the card itself is favorable. But if the client wants to break off relations with a man and the Major Arcana Empress falls in the 9th position, then it should be interpreted as fear.
10 The tenth card is how it all ends. This is an analogue of the existing mosaic. You need to understand that this last card alone is a compressed version of the alignment, therefore, it should be interpreted, given this feature.
