Today's Tarot for Antonio Banderas
| 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 Fool: Act impulsively. Follow your feelings. Surprise. Wonder. Excitement. Take opportunities that arise. |
 | The second card, placed above the significator, represents Air. It describes your spirit, process of thought, and the influence of reason. The Hierophant: Tradition, community and teachings. Conformity. Marriage, or any solemn commitment. |
 | The third card, placed to the right of the significator, represents Fire. It describes your motivations, creative energies, and the influence of passion. Son of Swords (Osiris), when reversed: Weakness, possibly corruption. |
 | The fourth card, placed below the significator, represents Water. It describes your emotions, meditations, and the influence of love. Four of Swords (Truce), when reversed: Movement away from silence and peace. New beginnings or old troubles. |
 | 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. Ace of Cups, when reversed: Happiness is blocked. Trouble communicating. Value of life questioned. |
 | 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. Five of Wands (Conflict), when reversed: Personal and aggressive conflicts. Bitterness towards others. |
 | 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. Four of Wands (Perfection): New life. Take action at the right moment. Excitement and growth. |
 | 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. Eight of Cups (Failure), when reversed: Hidden joy. New happiness. Positive change. |
 | The ninth and final card, placed in the center bottom of the triangle, represents the final outcome unless you change course. Ace of Wands: Gift of fire. Energy. Optimism. Confidence. Desire. Beginnings. |
