Today's Tarot for Uma Thurman
| 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 Haindl Tarot weaves a tapestry of haunting beauty from the traditions of Native America, the Holy Grail, the I Ching, Kabbalah and the Norse Runes, and is the deck of choice for mystics and those seeking enlightenment.

 | The first card, the significator, is placed in the center of the cross. This card represents the prime energy manifest in your life. The Magician: Power. Strength. Being in control of one's life. Transforming old situations, bringing in new ones. A burst of energy. Creativity. Focused will. |
 | The second card, placed above the significator, represents Air. It describes your spirit, process of thought, and the influence of reason. Seven of Wands (Courage), when reversed: Loss of nerve. Hesitation. Seek an alternative, possibly reconciliation. |
 | The third card, placed to the right of the significator, represents Fire. It describes your motivations, creative energies, and the influence of passion. The High Priestess, when reversed: A time for action, for involvements with others. Commitment in romance. |
 | The fourth card, placed below the significator, represents Water. It describes your emotions, meditations, and the influence of love. The Hierophant: Tradition, community and teachings. Conformity. Marriage, or any solemn commitment. |
 | 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. Three of Stones (Work): Work. Satisfaction. |
 | 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. Six of Wands (Victory), when reversed: Loss of belief. Negative attitude can lead to failure. |
 | 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. Five of Cups (Disappointment), when reversed: Coming out of disappointment. A realistic view of the past. |
 | 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. The Hanged Man, when reversed: Being overly influenced by outside ideas. Pressure to conform. Demands. Sacrificing something to get passed hang-ups. Lack of purpose. |
 | The ninth and final card, placed in the center bottom of the triangle, represents the final outcome unless you change course. Mother of Stones (Spider Woman): Serene, probably an older woman. Self-confidence. |
