The last card of the deck carries one of humanity's oldest symbols. Many people fear the Cross – wrongly, as Britta emphasises: it is not a dark card but a sign of faith in the future and of hope.
General Meaning
The Cross stands for faith, hope, trust and confidence – it points towards the future. Britta tells of its extraordinary mystique: the symbol was used as far back as ancient Egypt; it was said to be able to drive away evil spirits and protect against the devil. Through its presence on gravestones, it also became an emblem of transience – yet even there, its task was to protect souls from evil. So it is by no means a negative or gloomy card, but a sign of faith in the future and hope of deliverance.
Love & Relationships
In love, the Cross speaks of trust and confidence: believe in your shared future – even if not everything is easy right now. It can indicate a fateful dimension: this connection carries a deeper meaning. Cards to the right of the Cross tell what the future holds for you both.
Career & Finances
Professionally, Britta names spiritual vocations – priest, nun, monk. Beyond that, the Cross advises trust in your own path: your work has meaning, even if the fruits take their time. In money matters, it is no harbinger of misfortune but a sign of confidence – with patience and trust, the situation will turn.
Health
In health matters, Britta associates the Cross with back pain and anxieties about the future. Those who carry too heavy a load – physically or emotionally – feel it in their back. Lay down what is not your burden, and strengthen your back as well as your trust.
Note: These health associations come from traditional card reading. They are not medical advice and are in no way a substitute for seeing a doctor.
The Cross as a Timing Card
As a future indication, Britta assigns the Cross about one year. And it has a special reading: cards lying to the right of the Cross can be interpreted as future events.
