Each card position in the Celtic cross layout has special meaning. The meanings of these positions combined with the meaning of each individual card will allow you to provide an accurate reading.

· Position 1 – This card represents the basic theme of the individual’s problems, concerns, or questions. It provides insight into the asker.

· Position 2 – This card expresses the obstacles which stand in the individual’s way. It shows what he or she may have to overcome.

· Position 3 – This card illustrates what the asker is thinking or wanting consciously. Whatever this card says should not come as a surprise for the asker.

· Position 4 – This card shows what the asker is thinking, feeling, or wanting at a subconscious levels. These are things the asker may have been hiding from him or her self.

· Position 5 – This position represents the asker’s past.

· Position 6 – This position represents the asker’s future.

· Position 7 – This card illustrates the asker’s attitude toward the current situation or towards the question.

· Position 8 – This card represents the attitudes of the people around the asker, including friends and family members.

· Position 9 – This card demonstrates either what the asker is hoping or fearing regarding the outcome of the situation.

· Position 10 – Final outcome. This is a fairly self explanatory card. However it is worth saying that if the card comes up somewhat ambiguous, once again it may be worth drawing three extra cards to clarify.

Remember that as you are interpreting the Celtic Cross, you must take into consideration the meanings of each of these positions.
