What is the 10-Card Spread?

The ten-card spread is the deepest reading on Tarotena short of the Celtic Cross. Ten cards cover the timeline, your role and theirs, your strengths and challenges, the environment, your hopes and fears, and the outcome. The same depth as the Celtic Cross, just without the cross-shaped layout — easier to read at a glance, equally rich underneath.
