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. This is a simple all-purpose layout that examines primarily present influences over the querents inquiry and functions very well as a daily meditation.

Select to see the layout	The Celtic Cross Layout The Celtic Cross Layout is practically the gold standard of tarot readings. Having purportedly survived since the Middle Ages it is a ten card spread that offers opportunities to review the past influences that have lead to the present position of the querent, and provides insights into the outcome of any particular situation taking into account the querents subconscious influences, environment, and hopes or fears. This is a good all-purpose layout and may reveal insight into daily influences as well as energies and influences reaching several weeks or months into the future.

Midnight Moonchild Mailbox	Ask for Advice You know, there are a lot of places you can go to get a free tarot reading and we have even listed some of them (back there on the "Tarot Page") because we know that sometimes you just want the objectivity of some viewpoint other than your own, Right? Well we are still sticking by our opinion that the greatest insight you can get is by, as much as possible, reading your cards for yourself. It is in the interest of this "Do It Yourself" philosophy that we also offer our own advice and consultancy if you have just gotten a little "stuck" with a read you are doing on your own and you need to bounce an idea or two of another noggin. That is what the E-Mail link to the left is for! If you would like to send ask for advice or help with your own tarot reading, please use the E-Mail link to your left
