The Celtic Cross Spread is one of the oldest and most commonly used tarot spreads in tarot reading.

The layout is uncomplicated, yet powerful. It is particularly useful for general questions and outcomes.

This is the spread I prefer to use for an overall tarot reading.

While at first glance the Celtic Cross Spread may appear to be one of the more complicated tarot spreads to interpret, it is in reality very simple to master with just a little practice.

It is also a great tarot spread for a beginning reader to learn from because of its many interrelated cards which provide a great opportunity to understand how the tarot card meanings build upon each other during the course of a reading.
