Tarot - Celtic Cross

Tarot - Past, Present and Future

Present

The Five of Swords can be interpreted as either retreat or as conquest. As a conquest card, this card represents winning a battle against the odds. The battle is a metaphor for any of life's many struggles. If the card is being interpreted as representing retreat, then the card is all about accepting your limitations.

Past

As the Star represents upcoming success, being in a past position is usually a really good sign. While it may mean that you are realizing your dreams, in an otherwise negative layout, it could mean that your ideas or expectations are too high. In either case, success lies ahead of you as long as you trust in yourself and your capabilities.

Future

The Nine of Wands tells you that you are ready to move on. This card is a good sign in a future position as it suggests that you will find a way to solve your problems. While you may still be worried about what is coming, you are ready to defend yourself if the need arises. This card is all about perseverance. If you keep on trying, eventually you will find a way to reach your goal.
