Celtic Cross Reading – September 3, 44 (08 c.c.)
Posted in The Tarot Arcana on September 3rd, 2008 by thetarotI’ve decided to place a Reading today here on The Tarot Arcana using the Celtic Cross Formation.
Card #1 – Present Position Of Client (Myself)

This is the Tarot card of SUCCESS.
I’m succeeding then, although I don’t yet ‘feel’ successful my movements and actions are on target.
Card #2 – Conflict Or Continuation

This is the Tarot card of REFLECTION.
I will be Reflecting then upon present matters now and into the future of this Month especially, considering that I haven’t yet seen the Success that is present in my life, so Reflection is a wise approach for me at this time.
Card #3 – Destiny

This is the Tarot card of HONESTY.
With this Honest card the Ace of Swords in my Destiny, it will be wise for me not to circumnavigate the truth. Meaning that I must be Honest throughout this month regardless of circumstances. If I was to ‘Bend’ the truth, as it were I’d be only hurting myself during this month… So I won’t be forgetting this card anytime soon.
Card #4 – What is Past

This is the Tarot card of BURDEN.
This card is the first card that is reversed, and it is a good sign for me in this position, since reversed this Burden Card, The Ten of Wands, here is the books definition of this card reversed:
UNAWARE. You are likely unaware that there is something in your life that is not quite right. There is likely another source to the trouble but you are as yet unable to put your finger on it.
That I am Unaware of this Burden in my life is an even better sign for me in this Past Position, as the trouble will be resolved soon and no longer be a concern to me as it has become a part of my Past.
Card #5 – The Cause

This is the Tarot card of RESOLUTION.
Here is the complete Cause of the entire reading, just under the surface of my life then, indeed it shows that I am Resolving all my past troubles and that the outcome this month will be Resolution to any and all difficulties. A very fine card for me to receive in this most important position.
Card #6 – The New Future

This is the Tarot card of CELEBRATION.
Here now is my Near Future in this month, and this Four of Wands is reversed:
HEDONISM. Well there is that saying about that candle. It having two ends on fire. This is the warning of this card reversed. You are likely (if not already) into some heavy enjoyment.
In this case this is a very good sign for me as Hedonism is very popular with myself, any Revelry for me is a sure Plus, as I enjoy Excess to a great degree, here’s hoping that my month will turn around with these Good Times Promised.
Card #7 – The Client

This is the Tarot card of SOLITUDE.
This card had ‘Nailed’ me quite completely as I have been in Solitude for going on Ten Years now. So as you can see my hope is to end my Solitude with something more ‘festive’ with the company of many others hopefully. This is my biggest Hope to break this Vicious Circle that has plagued my life for so long now. Although Solace has become my life, my Personal Life has been troubling as I don’t yet have a sturdy and firm life to look to at this time. Maybe things are finally ‘breaking’ up and I will finally see some Good and Great Change that I’ve been awaiting nearly all my life.
Card #8 – Others – How Will They React And Or Influence The Client

REVERSALS
In its reversed guise the tower is generally not as frightening of an arcana card. In this reversal the card is reminding you of the many troubles you are experiencing or are about to encounter. It is indeed a poor omen to have the tower in reversal. Yet don’t get to down as the just is that it is nothing monumental which may have you thinking that you’re glad you don’t have the tower straight up! All joking aside you would be smart to play it safe for awhile and allow The Tower (reversed) to pass you by. It is important that you allow for caution as the warning is one that can predict bigger unpleasantness in your future. It is best not to rock the boat at this time in other words. Indeed the tower reversed is bad luck.
This reversal shows that my continuing troubles with others spiritually and physically in life still has a long way to go for me. So these unhappiness’s may surely continue on into this month. I must then try to Relax and hope for these unpleasant occurrences to hopefully pass me by.
Card #9 – What is Hidden In The Client (Myself)

The most Obvious Card in the Tarot Arcana, here it is reversed showing my Very Close Relationship with Death itself, that it is reversed only shows that I am right on target, since Death itself is nothing new to me personally. So therefore Death this month will not be all that visible to others. Giving me a ‘Leg Up’ on difficult matters.
Card #10 – The Final Outcome – The Result

REVERSALS
You’re likely not too happy in love at this time and could be rather disagreeable to others. You are likely very distant to those who usually love you the most. Unrequited love is not unlikely in this position and if you are suffering from this malady then at least the tarot arcana is aware of your plight. You are likely experiencing feelings of rejection in general. You are most likely not giving much of yourself to others and they don’t have much to go on lately.
Well, thanks! I won’t have much Love to look forward to this month then, as Reversed The Lovers shows me that I’m not exactly doing very well in this most important area! And actually I haven’t felt much Love in my life, for many years now. On the better side of this Reversal is that at least Love has shown up and hopefully this card is showing that at least I may be having at least a bit of Love entering my life, even if it is, at first unsuccessful! I always did enjoy Unrequited Love in my early years, and wouldn’t mind ‘falling’ for ’someone’ in the near future, so I’ll at least be hopeful about this during this New and Hopefully exciting Month.
CULMINATION
This reading has been very positive for me, for a long time now I’ve avoided Reading my own cards and have let much time go by, as I found it extremely difficult to get a ‘New’ look into my life, with my great troubles of the past circling my very life for so very long. I feel a good change coming with this new reading however and see now that my instincts were correct to wait for these many months, and hope rather completely that my life has turned a corner, finally, that was indeed not my own fault but a Curse of Circumstances and lack of Knowledge of my very own Surroundings. I refuse to Blame others however, and simply continue to live as long as I breathe with the hope that I may yet one day may enjoy the Larger and Wider World which Awaits me.
