The Celtic Cross is the most well-known tarot spread and also the largest layout available here, involving ten dominoes. This layout begins with a pair of crossing dominoes at the center of the issue, essentially being two significators. When two significators are involved, they may strengthen or oppose each other, which speaks of the nature of the situation. Above and below the initial cross, we have two dominoes which are symbolic of the intellectual (top) and emotional (bottom) basis of the issue. The Before and After dominoes show the past and immediate future.
At the right, four dominoes are laid out, going upward. At the bottom you have a domino representing yourself, and the next domino shows how others may affect the situation. Card #9 indicates what you may be hoping for, or possibly, what you hope will not happen. Finally at the top is the outcome, meaning the distant or ultimate future.

Blank/Two
New friendships and opportunities will soon be yours. It is possible you will meet a new love, or the love you already have will deepen. However, you must be open to change and dare to take risks.
Blank/Blank
The Double Blank is perhaps the grandest of dominoes. This domino often symbolises a major change. It is the domino of fate, destiny, providence, and karma. Several new paths will open for you, and you are spiritually and intellectually ready to take them on. However, if this domino is drawn in a single-domino reading, it simply means to ask the question again at a later time.
Blank/Four
Remember that you will reap what you sew. Do not allow yourself to become greedy or totally self-absorbed. To do so will leave you isolated and unhappy, even if you had all the money in the world.
Blank/Six
You now have the opportunity for material gain. New ventures are on the horizon. You must make a decision which of these new ventures best suits your ambitions for the future.
One/Four
Like inheriting a fortune, there is great prosperity, wealth, and well-being. This sign is as money falling from the sky directly into your hands. You have been steady in the long run, and your prospects for success are very bright. Friends will increase, and even enemies will fall under your control. If someone is ill, they will recover in time, the cause being that they have displeased a certain deity.
Blank/Five
Now is a time to strengthen your family ties. You may even want to consider having a child. Your family life should take precedence. Works involving spiritual communication with ancestors will be tremendously beneficial.
One/One
The time is at hand to pursue new ventures. Your wishes will be accomplished, exceeding all expectations. The study of logic will bear tremendous fruit, as would diligent meditation upon your special deity or spirit guide. Partnerships are extremely well-favoured. Opportunities may seem too good to be true, but hear them out fully before ruling anything out.
Two/Six
The mind is clear like a bright lamp that dispels darkness. You are at a stage in which the potential for personal growth is almost unlimited. Follow your inner light, and you will know what is right for you and those around you. Allow no obstacles or faults to hinder your actions.
Two/Four
There will be no results, as a dried-up tree produces no fruit. This sign indicates that your reach may have exceeded your grasp. The constantly afflicted mind cannot achieve its desires, and therefore continues to suffer. Too many, or too lofty wishes will not be fulfilled. This sign also suggests performing rituals to ancestors and earth spirits to rectify disturbances.
Blank/One
A new life's path is unfolding before you. Opportunities abound. You will do well if you have the courage to move down this new path, as long as you do not stray from acting morally.
