Celtic Cross 10.1.2018 This is a sample reading of the Celtic Cross spread. When you order this reading, this is what it will look like. Present Heart of the Matter: You are in a stable situation right now. Your everyday life is in balance and you feel secure most of the time. You do however have a nagging feeling things cannot stay the same for very much longer... Something is approaching you and you feel the need to try to protect your life as it is now. You are drawn towards trying to preserve your life, to hold on to your routines and possessions for dear life. The need to keep everything static is holding you back and blocking your progress. You do know this is going on, but your need for stability and security is so strong that you are fearful of taking steps to any direction. You are stuck and you know it. You also know something is already happening, you can feel the undercurrent moving below you. This gives you a feeling of unease and even dread. Past how did you arrive here: Not so long ago you were in a situation where you lost a great deal. When you look back at that time it fills you with dread. You felt helpless and choiceless... In the end you were able to work through your hardships but the sense of loss you experienced has stuck to the back of your mind and still creates fear and uncertainty. This was not the first time you were up against it in your life. Think back: how did you handle the demanding situations before? You didn't get where you are now all on your own. There were people around you who helped you and even carried you when you most needed it. If you look around right now you will find you are not alone. There are still people around you and they are still more than willing to catch you if you should fall.
Future what is waiting for you: Deep down inside you are ready for a change. Yet again this is not a new situation for you: if you look back in your life you'll find you have been here before. Now you have a chance to make a new choice, to head to a different direction from the one you chose the last time. A whole new cycle is ready to start for you and you are ready for it, if this is what you decide you want. Getting there requires care, stealth even. If you decide to go forward in life it is not a good idea to charge forward guns blazing. Small steps and vigilance will start you on your new journey and the progress will be slow at first. When the Wheel turns, it starts off slowly. But the momentum will grow and events in your life will speed up. All you need to do right now is to reflect on where you currently are and decide you want to go forward. Life will come along and carry you to the next phase of your life. Your own influence: Your current situation cries out for assessment. You need to sit down and really look at yourself and your everyday life. Objectivity is your best weapon now: is the life you are leading really what you want? Does it really fulfil your hopes and desires? Glancing back to your past is also important. We do usually scorn hindsight but in your situation the past is an invaluable tool and offers life lessons you can learn from. You yourself are the key to unlocking the standstill you are now experiencing. External influence: Your environment and the people in your life will pose no obstacles for you on this transition. Quite the opposite: when you feel lost and don't know which way to turn, the people around you will offer clarity. Does this sound familiar to you..? It should, as this is another thing that has happened before. You can trust the people around you just like you did before. You will find that the circumstances around you will support your new decisions and the new journey opening up before you. Your hopes or fears: Even though you think you are right where you should be in your life right now, you do hope you could find new ways to find fulfilment and a sense of achievement in what you do. You probably haven't been aware of this, but it is an inner wish you have been manifesting for quite a while. You could say you have ordered this upcoming change and now it is ready to be delivered should you decide to embrace it. Change is always scary at first, but the rewards waiting for you along the road are well worth it. Where you are headed: With the path the cards are now showing you, you have the possibility to become the Emperor of your own life. From the stagnated place of forced security you have built for yourself it is possible for you to move on to a more fulfilling and empowered position in life. You don't have to feel stuck
in order to feel secure, you can be free to fulfil your ambitions and creativity and still maintain stability in your life. Please note: your future is not carved in stone. You are free to choose whatever you feel is right for you. If you decide to go forward on the path the cards are showing for you right now, it is possible for you to change your life permanently. If however you feel you are not ready to take the risks involved, you don't need to feel forced to do so. The opportunity for change will come along again and you will find yourself in a position to make new choices also in the future. Nothing is ever lost for good in life, new opportunities will arise.
