I'm new at using tarot cards but so far I've found them to be really accurate. Last night I decided to do a reading on a general state of our nation (US), inspired by HP Maxine's astrology reading.. I used the celtic cross format because that's the only one I know right now. I found it interesting but would like more insight into it.
Position 1 (general environment): 4 of Wands, facing up. Concord, peace, prosperity
Position 2 (obstacles): The Moon, facing left (the name at the bottom was facing left). Hidden enemies, danger, deception.
Position 3 (ideals of situations, hopes): Temperance, facing up. Economy, moderation, frugality, accommodation.
Position 4 (what there is work with): 6 of Pentacles, facing up. Presents, gifts, vigilance.
Position 5 (past): 5 of Pentacles, facing up. Material trouble, not harmonized.
Position 6 (coming into action): 9 of Wands, facing down. Obstacles, adversity, calamity.
Position 7 (himself/herself): The Chariot, facing up. Succor, providence, war, presumption, vengeance, trouble.
Position 8 (environment, house/family): Justice, facing down. Law in all, bigotry, bias, excessive, severity.
Position 9 (hopes/fears): Knight of Pentacles, facing down. Inertia, idleness, stagnation, carelessness, discouragement.
Position 10 (future): 8 of Cups, facing down. Great joy, happiness, feasting.
The definitions came from the little book included with the cards. Just writing it down again got me all giddy! If any of you have any other interpretations or something I overlooked let me know! That's how I learn.
Hail Father Enki!!
Hail Lord Dagon!!
Hail Lord Andras!!
