Cross Layout

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

The Cross Spread is good for questions asking for advice. It can also be used to determine the meaning of a confusing tile from a previous reading, or for that matter, to shed light on other points of confusion.

In questions asking advice, this layout is self-explanatory. The main thing is to determine the difference between tiles #2 and #3. #1 is the topic and #4 is the result.

In questions regarding confusion, such as: "What was the meaning of Tile (X) in the last spread?" the main thing is also to determine the difference between tiles #2 and #3. In this case, #2 will show what the tile was not referring to, and Tile #3 will show what was really meant. Tile #1 is the topic and #4 represents the purpose it serves.
