| The Cross and Triangle spread is a powerful means of understanding complex situations, developed by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This spread is rich in occult and mystical symbolism, and one of our favorites here at Facade. The Cat People Tarot paints a picture of faraway lands trod by mystical archetypes and their feline companions. This deck is a perfect tool for dreamers and idealists, and is a great choice for divining the nature of human imagination.

 | The first card, the significator, is placed in the center of the cross. This card represents the prime energy manifest in your life. King of Wands, when reversed: Severity. Austerity. Somewhat excessive and exaggerated ideas. Dogmatic, deliberate person. |
 | The second card, placed above the significator, represents Air. It describes your spirit, process of thought, and the influence of reason. Ten of Pentacles (Wealth), when reversed: Poor risk. Bad odds. Possible loss. Hazard. Robbery. Loss of inheritance. Dissipation. Gambling. |
 | The third card, placed to the right of the significator, represents Fire. It describes your motivations, creative energies, and the influence of passion. King of Pentacles, when reversed: Corruption. Using any means to achieve the desired end. Vice. Avarice. Unfaithfulness. An old and vicious man. Peril. Danger. Thriftlessness. |
 | The fourth card, placed below the significator, represents Water. It describes your emotions, meditations, and the influence of love. Two of Swords (Peace): Balance force. Harmony. Firmness. Concord. Offsetting factors. Stalemate. Affection. |
 | The fifth card, placed to the left of the significator represents Earth. It describes your physical presence, position in life, and the influence of the material world. Nine of Pentacles (Gain): Accomplishment. Discernment. Discretion. Foresight. Safety. Prudence. Material well-being. Love of nature. |
 | At this point the cross is complete and the triangle is formed. The sixth card, placed on the bottom left of the triangle represents one of two opposing forces. Seven of Swords (Futility), when reversed: Arguments. Quarrels. Uncertain council or advice. Circumspection. Slander. Babbling. |
 | The seventh card, placed on the bottom right of the triangle represents the force that opposes the bottom left card. These forces may be external, but they are frequently one's own inner archetypes in conflict. Ten of Cups (Satiety): Home. Abode. Happiness. Joy. Pleasure. Peace. Love. Contentment. Good family life. Honor. Esteem. Virtue. Reputation. |
 | The eighth card, the reconciler, is placed below the cross in the third vertex of the triangle. This is the force that will resolve the conflict between the bottom left and bottom right cards. By meditating on this force and bringing more of it into your life, you can bring the matter at hand to a swifter conclusion than would naturally occur. Three of Cups (Abundance), when reversed: Excessive pleasures. Overabundance. Superfluity. Loss of prestige. Delays. Unappreciation. |
 | The ninth and final card, placed in the center bottom of the triangle, represents the final outcome unless you change course. The Fool, when reversed: Faulty choice or bad decision. Indecision. Apathy. Hesitation. Failure to diligently proceed. |
