Cross Spread

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

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

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

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

It Deals with This

King of Spades

Gemini: A dynamic master of communication and wit, he moves with agile energy and versatile skill. His clever mind and active nature drive him to explore multiple facets of any challenge, though his quicksilver approach can sometimes border on impetuosity. His presence inspires you to embrace duality—melding rapid thought with careful deliberation to achieve a well-rounded vision.

An active, skilful, witty, clever, fierce man.

 

 

 

 

Do NOT Do This

Eight of Spades

Interference (Jupiter in Gemini): Marked by the restless energy of Jupiter in Gemini, the Eight of Spades warns against the dangers of distraction and needless complexity. It speaks of interference—where attention to minutiae undermines the broader vision, leading to restrictions and unforeseen misfortunes. This card urges you to step back from over-analysis and focus on the larger picture, lest the clutter of details obscure your true objectives and sap your momentum.

 

 

 

 

DO This

Four of Hearts

Luxury (Moon in Cancer): This card delves into the realm of desire, exploring the allure of sensory indulgence and the seductive pull of excess. Under the soft glow of the Moon in Cancer, the Four of Hearts cautions against the overconsumption of pleasure, urging you to seek balance. It challenges you to distinguish between genuine emotional nourishment and the fleeting satisfaction of indulgence, guiding you towards a more meaningful fulfilment.

Giving in to desire. Excess, luxury, insatiability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It Leads to This

Jack of Diamonds

Taurus: The Jack of Diamonds embodies youthful practicality and a keen sense for the material world. Representing a person skilled in pragmatic affairs, he is dependable, resourceful, and attuned to the tangible aspects of life. This card may indicate a youthful figure—perhaps a messenger or a guide—who values stability and efficiency, yet may find himself at odds with more spiritual or abstract perspectives.
