The Simple Cross Layout
The Simple Cross layout has been identified as a pre-Christian, pre-celtic layout that aids meditational focus through examination of basic elemental influences. With a card selected in each of the four elemental directions representing earth, water, air, and fire this spread offers insight into material resources, communication issues, emotional factors, and physical or spiritual capacities effecting the outcome of the question at hand.
1 - Air (communication)
2 - Water (emotions)
3 - Fire (spiritual impulses)
4 - Earth (physical and financial resources)
This is a simple all-purpose layout that examines primarily present influences over the querents inquiry and functions very well as a daily meditation.
Now that you have the layout and the meanings of the cards, you may want to give it a go with your own cards... Go ahead... try the spread on for size and see how it works for you. If you have specific questions about a reading you have attempted for yourself, feel free to e-mail us with your questions. We are always happy to offer what insights we may have and there is absolutely no charge for asking for our help interpreting a reading you have already begun. After all, we firmly believe there is much greater value in a Tarot Reading you do for yourself than one you simply pay someone else to interpret for you
This is why we spent so much time and effort in giving you all the information you need to interpret your own Tarot Cards. Go ahead, give it a whirl... remember... if you get absolutely stuck and you need a little help to get... well... unstuck, send us an E-Mail. We are happy to offer advice. You see, we feel it is far better to... um... inspire folk to do it themselves instead of having us do it for them.
