you’re right — i re-mapped it off the photo. here’s the actual celtic cross positions as your layout shows:

Positions
# Present / Significator (Center): The High Priestess
# Crossing (Across Center): Five of Wands
# Above / Conscious Goal (Top): Eight of Pentacles
# Below / Root (Bottom): Five of Swords (Reversed)
# Past (Left): Ace of Wands
# Near Future (Right): Two of Swords
# You / Self (Bottom of Right Column): Ten of Swords (Reversed)
# Environment / Others (Next Up): Judgement
# Hopes & Fears (Next Up): Eight of Wands
# Outcome (Top of Right Column): Justice (Reversed)

now the read, with that corrected:

===== high priestess says you already know. you’re not lacking information — you’re refusing to fully accept what you know because it creates consequences. =====
five of wands crossing = too many voices, opinions, impulses, or people pulling at you. conflict isn’t “out there,” it’s also internal: part of you wants peace, part of you wants to fight for something.

message: stop debating your intuition with your anxiety. your gut is the quiet one; that’s why it’s getting outvoted.

===== you’re trying to improve the situation by working harder / doing better / being more consistent. classic “if i refine myself enough, this will stabilize.” it can — but only if the other side is also doing the work. =====

shadow: perfection as a coping mechanism.

===== this is big. five of swords reversed is the “i’m done with messy victory” card. it’s conflict fatigue + regret + wanting to disengage from mind games, defensiveness, or emotional sparring. =====
it also signals: you’re ready to stop participating in a dynamic that makes you feel slightly gross after.

===== ace of wands in the past: the spark started it. attraction/idea/drive/new beginning. =====
two of swords near future: decision freeze. not because you don’t know what to do—because choosing means you can’t keep both options (or both narratives).

practical truth: the next phase is you pausing contact/effort or emotionally stepping back until you can choose cleanly.

===== you’re climbing out of a mental/emotional bottom. this is recovery mode: “never again.” it’s also the card of learning the lesson without re-living the trauma. =====
you’re more resilient than you feel, but also less willing to tolerate nonsense. good.

===== something is being revealed or called. an awakening, a confession, a reckoning, a “we need to talk,” or your own moment of: “wow. i’ve been excusing this.” =====
judgement is accountability energy — it pressures everyone to be real.

===== you want fast resolution, fast truth, fast movement. you’re also afraid of how quickly things can escalate once the truth is spoken (or once you act on your knowing). =====
this card says: once you decide, events speed up. so the fear is understandable — but delaying doesn’t actually reduce the speed; it just postpones it.

===== this is the headline: something is not balanced or not being handled fairly. =====
justice reversed can mean:
* unfairness / double standards
* someone avoiding accountability
* a situation where “the truth” is being bent (by them or by you, to yourself)
* paperwork/agreements/boundaries not being respected

best use of this card: correct the imbalance yourself. stop hoping the system (or the person) self-corrects.

==== this spread is you moving from spark → conflict → inner knowing → decision → truth/reckoning → restoring balance. ====
but justice reversed says balance won’t happen by vibes. it happens by boundaries, receipts, and choosing what’s fair to you, even if it disappoints someone.

if you tell me what this was about (love / work / family / friendship), i can translate the same spread into very specific “do this, not that” steps.
