The vertical line is your consciousness moving from your unconscious on the bottom to your conscious mind on the top. The horizontal line shows time moving from your past on the left into your future on the right. The larger cross consists of two lines that overlay the mini-cross. It is the hub around which the wheel of your life is turning. The smaller cross represents the heart of the matter - what is most central to you at the time of the reading. The Circle/Cross section is made up of two crosses - a central one (card one and two) nested within a larger cross (six cards).

The Celtic cross is probably the oldest and most popular pattern for reading the tarot. Some readers prefer a laying out the middle card first and then the cards on the left and right, but the cards are still read right to left as past, present, and future. It has much in common with modern rune divination layouts. It is especially useful for confirming a longer reading. The three card draw is Tarot “quick and dirty’. Below are several layouts for reading the tarot cards.

There are many different ways to use the tarot cards.
