[@danielx555]

Thank you for this. I just got a new tarot deck and I'm back to learning. I studied tarot when I was a teenager and it's so meditative and rewarding to sit with these cards and study them. Even without doing a reading, these cards are rich with meaning, and the time you spend with them increases peace and joy, I've noticed.

[@JennyLove1331]

I read with this spread but when I learned it back in the early 90’s lol the spots are so different. I have 1a which is the person I’m reading. Then 1 what’s going on, 2 crossing your path, 3 what’s above you, 4ths heart of the matter, 5 the passed, 6 the future, 7 is the situation , 8 how people see you, 9 hopes and fears, and the final outcome

[@rutalaa]

Can you do a sample CELTIC CROSS reading with the explanations of the Celtic Cross so that we can see how you bring it together using the positions?☺️

I’ve received the ten of pentacles upright for #8 can anyone please interpret what this means for me?

[@stevelenores5637]

I did my first Celtic Cross after watching this video. I took three pages of notes as I flipped over each card. The question asked was how successful I would be to learn how to read tarot for strangers. The random card I picked for myself (position one) was the wheel of fortune. The cards were eerily accurate and positive until last question. The indication was that I was going to be very successful in learning to read tarot for others except the outcome card said a burden and obligation keeps me from completely fulfilling my goal. In other words life gets in the way of our asperations.

[@TheSimpleTarot]

Steve, what card did you get as the Outcome? I'm just curious. Since I don't read predictively, I often read that #10 card less like "this will happen" and more like "this is what I want to happen" or "based on my effort/inputs, this is the likely output". 😘

[@stevelenores5637]

@@TheSimpleTarot It was the blindfolded lady who was bound and surrounded by swords. I interpreted that as taking care of my roommate who is a quadriplegic. I'm the primary caretaker right now because it is hard to hire someone to watch her. Right now I see that as what I will be doing for at least a few more months until we find someone. As far as my studies the cards say I will be highly successful, only that it might be delayed putting it into practice because of my obligations to take care of my roommate.

[@TheSimpleTarot]

@@stevelenores5637 Ah, I see. It does seem like you have a few current priorities that are holding you back. You'll be able to take that blindfold off soon, to see your way into a place where you have more options (and help!). Good luck with your studies & where this leads!

Hi Angie, I just wanted to say that I really really enjoy your videos and find them helpful. I’ve been reading tarot cards since 1994 and part of being passionate about something is being receptive to learning about it.

4:08 How funny I always wondered why they called it cross when it didn’t look like the Celtic cross to me because of the position 7,8,9 on the right hand side but now it makes sense that position 7,8,9 would be on the right hand side because our tables aren’t long enough to put it below position three☺️

[@TheSimpleTarot]

Yeah, that's my explanation, and I'm sticking to it! (It makes sense, though, right?) 😜

[@rutalaa]

@@TheSimpleTarot IT REALLY DOES !!!

[@moodymoonmaiden]

I greatly appreciate your explanations, because there is indeed SO much to learn and many different interpretations and representations. I found myself overwhelmed by my Celtic Cross reading today, which I am learning all the while which makes it more overwhelming. HOWEVER, my Crown card was Death and has me freaked out because I'm often worried my life will be shorter than I desire. Any insight from an experienced reader like you?

[@ScottStevenErickson]

I’ve always put cards 7-10 in the corners between 3-6 just because I thought it was more aesthetically pleasing to have a symmetrical spread.

[@ДаниелМоллов-р8т]

Most times when i use a significator the results are weirdly accurate 😀 not that i doubt the wisdom of the cards. There is a method where the reader cuts the deck where the significator card is and then uses the rest of the deck for answering the question. But to each their own. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Nice video! 🥸

[@nancymills1884]

I agree with you on the significator.

[@b.bondwilliams6847]

What can you tell us about drawing additional cards for clarification in the Celtic cross? Using two decks? Also, how about the "shadow" card on the bottom of the deck when doing a reading? Do you have any videos about these things?

Hi ! Very good explanation!

[@pseudonym033]

Just found your channel and am loving your vibe and presentation! Thank you for your work.

[@TheSimpleTarot]

Awww, thanks!

[@the_bob_147]

I've been using the one I found first and honestly it just works really well. But I've been thinking I probably don't need my number 9 to be hopes and dreams. Idk how it would be better to read it tho or if I really can read it differently and not miss it (perhaps I just don't know how much I actually use it? Idk).( The only thing I accidentally changed it that I put 7-10 up to down instead of down to up but I didn't change their meaning that means card 7 will still have the meaning of card 7 just will be placed on 10ths place...) My cards are: 1 situation 2 challenges/obstacles 3 (left) past from which this came to happen 4 (right) the near future the next step 5 (up) conscious goals (what you want) 6 (down) subconscious goals (what you need) 7 advice what you should do 8 how other people in your life can help you or mess you up in this situation 9 hopes and fears 10 outcome I think my 5 and 6 sum up hopes and fears pretty well so idk if I'm not just "wasting space" I can use for something else with my 9th card. You showed sk many possibilities. I've seen several different versions of the celtic cross but this showed all of those and even more. You are amazing it was very inspiring. But I must admit I don't really know how to choose what would fit. I can't believe I've only discovered your channel I love you so much already and this has only been the 2nd video I've seen! :D sorry this comment sounds chaotic its quarter to 4 am :)

[@TheSimpleTarot]

Thanks! If you're looking for a different way to read #9 instead of hopes and dreams, you could divide out #8 into two cards. One (#8) for people who will help me, and one (#9) for people who will hinder me. That might be fun!

[@true_plays_games]

[@sherrischickler5713]

I wanted to know how the person we are reading for. When they cut the deck in three (or do they?) how do we grab back up the pile ? I make then cut with left hand to the left. In from the center and from middle pike another cut to left. Then I pick up with my left from far right to the left. I’d like to know what would be the best way

[@Arrian1111]

This is a really good video - I like to put the 3 at the bottom and the others in a clockwise rotation too. I'm lucky enough to live right by Cornwall's Celtic Cross monument. As an Aquarius ascendant - I particularly resonate with the star and I intuitively see the signifier as important. What I have done, is made a copy of the star card and laminated it - so I do not have to take a critical card out of the pack.

Beautiful! (And lucky you!!!). Thanks for sharing.

Newbie to tarot: I’d like to use the significator according to the Rider Tarot deck. Should it be from the Major Arcana or the Lesser Arcana? I’m not sure what you meant by “court card.”

[@taronewashington5954]

Thank You..

[@kristinastevens9649]

How do you decide not to use a significator? I read one book that said it was a third card hidden beneath 1&2 so 11 cards total, another is saying it’s something you pull out ahead of time before shuffling. How do you decide what card fits for what? Like if I’m asking about my relationship with someone else would it be the lovers card? Which would you pick for the question “what will my life look like in the next six months?” Sorry if this sounds dumb I’ve just read a couple different options and I’m confused.

[@TheSimpleTarot]

Great questions! I choose not to use a significator, ever. It's just a personal preference. There's no right or wrong way to read the cards, just whatever works for you! The significator card is pulled intentionally from the deck before the cards are shuffled. It represents the querant - which is usually the person asking the question. (It could also possibly be the person the question is about, if you're asking something like, "When will my dad get healthy?"). Most people pick the court card that most matches the querant, but you could honestly pick any card that you feel is a good match. Again, I don't use them, and you don't have to either! But they add another layer and dimension to your reading. Good luck!

[@alexserra9605]

Confused about 9 card.. how could 1 card show hopes and fears? What I'm afraid of isn't my hope... someone please clarify

[@TheSimpleTarot]

For me, sometimes it's an either/or thing (the card represents either a hope or a fear), OR - and this is very common - there is some aspect of my hope that causes fear, even if I have to dig deep to find it. Hope that helps!

@Koren - Team Simple Tarot Thank you so much x

[@veil5284]

Hi, I have a question about the celtic cross, lets say that the cards that is crossing is the ace of wands, does it mean that the querent could expect a new opportunity in the future and the challenge is to step into their power? Because I dont know exactly if the cards also have divination value or they just represent the querent and how they feel. Because for example if you ask about a situation that seems to be nearly impossible, and you get the ace of wands, it could mean a new chance in that particular situation or it could mean that the querent should redirect their energy to another beginning or it could be that the querent should have that energy in order to manifest (which implies that something is on the horizon, otherwise it makes sense to get something like death card). So, I dont really understand how to read the cards together with their divination meaning, because thats what people are looking, for a direction. For example, somebody could try to be the ace of wands when they are actually dellusioning themselves. Is the celtic cross showing this? Or it only shows the querent feelings and attitutde? Also how can you tell in the spread what cards represent the querent and what cards represent the other person or influences? Because I feel that not only the environment is the influence, but any other card can be related to somebody else...

[@veil5284]

@Koren - Team Simple Tarot Yes, I think this answers my questions, thank you very much for answering, that was helpful.

[@gwen8530]

My step mom and her mom would do this spread with three cards per position with three spreads. She would first do one whole spread for past, then shuffle and do the present then do the future she was extremely accurate

I was drawn to this one card and I flipped it over and oh my god I nearly had a heart attack! IT WAS EIGHT OF SWORDS. what does it mean?! Am I going crazy?!

I'm not familiar with numerology, so I'm not quite sure what you mean. I don't *think* there are similarities, but there might be!

[@pleiadecca]

I know. This is just me. But I feel absolutely compelled to read upside down cards in all iterations and spreads. I also find myself noticing within cards tiny things from time to time that seem significant, but I am warned are not. Are there birds? How many? Coming, going, perching? Where in relation to the figures in the pictograph and to the querent? It does make things harder and tedious, but ... I'm compelled.

[@TheSimpleTarot]

When it comes to what to pay attention to in a card or whether or not to read a card reversed, etc, you should trust your intution. If those details are what stick out to you, go with that and see where that leads you.
