celtic cross for men

I used the Celtic Cross for this, and there's a minor change in there between the 7th and 9th placement meanings as I've been using The Idiot's Guide to Tarot Reading as training wheels. Practice makes perfect right? =]

*(R) = Reversed*

I asked "How can I attract more men/love into my life this year?"

1. (Me) Justice Reversed
2. (Supporting/Opposing energy) 9 of Cups
3. (Foundation for the matter; Reason for asking) Judgment Reversed
4. (The Past) Queen of Swords Reversed
5. (Free Will) 5 of Pentacles Reversed
6. (Manifestation; Near Future) 9 of Wands Reversed
7. (Hopes and Fears) Knight of Cups
8. (How others feel & are connected to my question) The Hermit
9. (What I have to go through in order to reach the outcome) 6 of Cups
10. (The Outcome) The Tower

So upon first glance, I see there's a lot of resistance going on because of the 5 reversed cards. To me, this spread is saying I see my love life as unfair but it isn't (Justice Reversed + 9 of Cups), and that I've been afraid of rejection because I've been hurt in the past. (Judgment Reversed + Queen of Swords Reversed) I have the ability to accept my losses but I don't have the energy to? (5 of Pentacles reversed + 9 of Wands reversed. **I don't know whether the 9 of Wands is telling me I shouldn't be so guarded, OR if it's saying I need to rest in the near future). I've been hoping for and looking for a fairy tale romance (Knight of Cups in the 7th position + The Hermit) when what I'm looking someone from my past? (The Hermit + 6 of Cups) Or is it saying I'm living in the past? And then we reach the conclusion, that something unexpected will happen (The Tower).

I feel pretty confident about my interpretation of cards 1-7, but it's 8,9, and 10 I'm having trouble combining. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
What indicated studies besides 5 of Pentacles reversed? I wish I could see it that quickly!!

Okay well looking solely at cards 8-10 it looks like others wish you would concentrate on your studies rather than jump into a relationship, the 6 of cups deals with the past, you may need to tie up loose ends with someone from your past, you may even be dating someone from your past. The Tower as the final outcome is a warning for you to try to be better prepared. The are many unexpected things that could arise, but if you prepare yourself wisely then the Tower could bring good luck to you.

I've never known the 5 of Pentacles R to mean study it normally means a return to work after a time of unemployment or business picking back up. It also means to become emotionally stable and a feeling of security.

The Hermit means a time for study mainly SELF-study. A good time to take a class on a subject of interest or do some meditating.

I'm a beginner to using Tarot cards, and I recently did a Tarot Celtic Cross Love spread reading for myself. I am thinking about pursuing a new relationship (hence the love celtic cross reading). I am curious to see what your personal interpretations are of my reading. Here are the cards and their positions:
1.) Wheel of Fortune in Love & Me position
2.) Eight of Coins in Situation position
3.) Ace of Wands in Challenges position
4.) Six of Cups in Background position
5.) Ten of Swords in Recent Past position
6.) The Hanged Man in Higher Power position
7.) Ten of Cups in Near Future position
8.) Magician in Issues position
9.) Knight of Coins in Your Lover position
10.) Two of Cups in Love Advice position
11.) Ten of Coins in Long Term Potential position

Thank you soooo much!

Hello

You can post your Tarot spreads for interpretation in my forum, see profile, although you do have to give what you felt it meant!

If your new to the Tarot, Celtic Crosses are best left due to their complex nature! There are far easier spreads to learn with.

I've been living with my grandmother for 6 years. Recently she decided to move and leave the apartment for me and my boyfriend to take over. I know it's a big step because this is the first time I ever took on a responsibility like this. Im 11 weeks pregnant, so Im really excited and both scared. I need to know if me and my boyfriend will be able to do this? And will I be able to trust that he'll help with this responsibility? I love him and I want this to work. Will it work ?

Celtic Cross

1) Cover- Ace of Wands(reversed)
2)Cross- Sun
3) Beneath- 4 of cups(reversed)
4) Crown- Fool
5) Behind- Queen of Swords
6) Before- Hanged Man
7) Self- Star
8)House- 9 of Cups
9) Hopes and Fears- 5 of Cups
10) Outcome -Wheel of Fortune

Ace of Wands (r) - deals with relationships and adventures. False starts are indicated and this whole venture may not make your expectations. Be sure your boyfriend is ready for all the responsibility and work required to make this work.

Sun - You're happy and looking forward to the change and the chance of happiness it brings. Satisfaction that this will be what you want. You harbor hopes of marriage and being a recognized couple.

4 of Cups (r) - This is a definite risk. Yet, it is one you and he can do if you will both commit to it and to one another.

Fool - Beginnings and choices; lots of them to make. Do not over extend yourselves and make a plan to follow especially for expenses.

Queen of Swords - Try not to fight and argue between you. If you demand too much, the relationship may fall apart. This is a time to come together and work together; not fall away from each other. And don't let those around you define your relationship...that's between you two alone. Those that pick at you or talk behind your backs are not friends.

Hanged Man - Take time to enjoy your plans and what you two have accomplished. Your life together does not have to be all about work and worry. And be sure to take care of yourself during your pregnancy; do not over due.

Star - This is a new beginning for you and a chance to make a new life for yourself. Its exciting, fill of hope, and fears. Keep courage and keep your goals in sight. Stay calm and don't go to pieces when little annoyances come up...plan that they will since nothing ever goes 'perfektly'.

9 of Cups - Card of Wishes. Your wish or desire is for this to work which you believe leads to your happiness. Wishes are good things and feed the soul (as well as relationships). Keep a positive attitude.

5 of Cups - You fear loss and disappointment. You fear this will not work. This is a complete opposite to your last card. Don't give in to your fears. Looks like you're in the driver's seat with the relationship so don't let your own fears or what if'ing rule you. Your own paranoia or positive attitude will greatly affect the relationship and the outcome of your wishes.

Wheel of Fortune - hard card to get as outcome because of timing. It is in your favor for now - use it to your advantage. Do what you can now to cement the relationship and set your plans in motion so they succeed. Do not play it by ear or as it happens as you will not be able to affect change in time. If you will get your stuff together, your wishes have a good chance at success. If you wait, I doubt you will have what you want.

Blessings and congrats on your baby,

I drew these tonight... I have a pretty good idea of what's going on with the overall message and the energy. But I would love to hear what some experts on here may read out of it?

I had a very rough 2007 and still am going through some hard times - careerwise, my living situation and with my personal relationships. But I feel like I am heading for a clearing. I hope to protect myself, become smarter about life, work on my relationships/spirituality and get into grad school.

I'm not sure if they are labeled in the right order (sorry if they're not), but here it goes:

1.) Recent past - 3 of wands
2.) Situation - Page of cups
3.) Self - King(Ace?) of cups
4.) Foundation - 8 of Cups
5.) Higher Power - The hanged man
6.) Challenges/Opportunities - 6 of wands
7.) Near Future - King(Ace?) of Swords
8.) Blocks - The World
9.) Allies - Ace of Swords
10.) Advice - Empress
11.) Long-term potential - 5 of Pents

Thank you very much - I'm grateful. :)

Present is the pain of loss which is also rebirth.

Immediate challenge is to be conventional and reserved, pulling in close to home, and being smart about finances.

Distant past compares strongly to the immediate challenge: minor misfortunes regarding social, health or finances.

Recent past was a time of introspection and reevaluation -- being withdrawn to find the truth.

Outcome is a warning: The bitter woman who values money and material things over true connections with others.

Immediate future is disagreements, competition, annoyances and hassles. Identify who you are struggling with and what are the points of contention.

Influences are suspension, supported by the 4 of cups, meaning learn from the recent past and suspend action: pausing to reflect, feeling outside of time, taking time to just be, giving up urgency, living in the moment, waiting for the best opportunity.

External influences are people acting unfair; taking what one hasn't earned, corruption, greed, money can't buy happiness, stubborn, confused, carried away by passion, materialism, clinging to the past, fear of death, inability or refusal to understand cause and effect, overlooked for promotion, extravagance.

Hopes and fears involve rescue and liberation through power and passion. A warning not to be hasty or one-sided, but to be balanced with reason and passion. Love life, assert yourself, but do not be callous or impractical. Caution against allowing a man to be your boldness, but be your own power.

Ace of pentacles is Physical Description - Dark brown hair, gray/hazel or blue eyes. Tall, lots of charm and wit. Dark eyes. Lots of sex appeal. Charismatic, powerful, intelligent.

Personality Traits - Focused on making a point, committed to ideas. Very strong person. Initially helpful, but actually self-seeking. Makes a good friend, but a dangerous ally. Eloquent, confident, fast moving, easily bored. Breezes into life and then out again.

Outcome is success followed by bad news, and warning of an enemy or rival.

>>> A series of disappointments threatens to make you bitter and cold. Learn from the past instead of saying "this always happens." Be deliberate and disciplined in friendships and finances, not allowing others to take all from you, but avoid letting your fears and the many annoyances take all your time and energy from your passions. You must enjoy life, but be more practical and conservative --- NO EXTREMES. Caution about giving your power away to others. Balance trust with wisdom from experience.

Focus on your path ahead, not the trail behind, or the annoyances of the present.
