Krystalida Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 I hope I'm posting to the right place! I have been wondering lately about the position on the Celtic Cross, the external influences, because of a particular card I got so I have decided to open a thread about it and see what you think. So all these years I’ve been reading this position as what is the tone of the environment that affects you, who or what is affecting you. Now with the Minor Arcana I never found myself to wonder, for the Majors, some can be tricky so I listed the ones I think of them as abstract, vague or being as “Divine interference” I’d be happy to hear your ideas and addings 🙂 0 The Fool - i see it as an abstract card as an external position I would see as people around may be pushing you to adapt a “Fool” behavior like be more carefree or care less, there is an actual Fool who is affecting the situation 6 Lovers - I find this tricky cause I could only see it as a couple or someone in the sign of Gemini 8 Justice - the Law would be the first to come to me, a Libra, Karma like it comes from an outer force because this is the way it has to be 9 Hermit - someone who is deeply concerned with the situation of your reading, a Virgo but as an agency? A monk in special cases 🙂 10 The Wheel - This Major along with the Star I find them so abstract! There are no other cards that can be so vague as external influences, I can only think of this one as luck is on the spin , there isn’t anyone actually who is affecting but Divine interference 12 The Hanged Man -this Major along with Death and Moon I came to see them as maybe the situation itself that we are reading, The Hanged Man, the subject is in a mode of waiting and taking things under consideration, the decision for the course of the subject is not being made, again it strikes me as something really abstract. 13 Death - the subject is being affected by the change that happened, if it is a loss then the loss is still upon the subject, or your environment is forcing this change upon the subject, a heavy environment that its dragging you, changes in your environment thaat affect your situation, a Scorpio 17 The Star - This is where I got the idea of making this thread, I got it in this position, so how more of a vague external influence can this be? Healing, wishing thoughts, spiritual progress are these something forced upon the subject? But again what kind of influence is that? I put it along with the “Divine interference” Also an Aquarius, maybe a woman 18 The Moon - I came by this card in this position in a reading a while ago, it was a heavy matter, I was very depressed but being depressed its an internal situation so I took it as the confusion the others created to me by being insensitive with the matter. I would also see it as an environment the is depressing and emotionally heavy. Judgment - This I find weird, last year I had it in a reading about a couple who broke up, a month after the reading her guy returned and they reconciled. I dont understand though what the external influence would be, again Divine interference? World - ok, the End! As an external influence I would see it as the situation has done its circle so what happens should be this way, again like Justice.
