Tarot insight?

Not that I put much faith in tarot readings, but this one made me smile.  I find it more interesting and more useful to see what or who I feel the card may represent... I got this off http://www.facade.com/tarot.

The Celtic Cross spread is one of the most popular Tarot spreads, providing varied insight into many aspects of a complex situation and your role in it.

The card not shown but at the center of the cross, represents the atmosphere surrounding the central issue. Five of Staves (Strife), when reversed: A cautious step ahead without the aid of others.

The card visible at the center of the cross represents the obstacle that stands in your way - it may even be something that sounds good but is not actually to your benefit. Knight of Cups, when reversed: Fraudulent emotion. A charming, but irresponsible person.

The card at the top of the cross represents your goal, or the best you can achieve without a dramatic change of priorities. Five of Coins (Worry), when reversed: Reversal of a difficult situation. Gradual improvement. Encouraging news.

The card at the bottom of the cross represents the foundation on which the situation is based. Six of Staves (Victory), when reversed: Fear of failure and fear of success.

The card at the left of the cross represents a passing influence or something to be released. Nine of Coins (Gain): Balance. Compromise. Security. The cycle of nature. The protection of family. A season of dormancy which makes later fertility possible.

The card at the right of the cross represents an approaching influence or something to be embraced. Four of Cups (Luxury), when reversed: New faith. New hope. A return to trust.

The card at the base of the staff represents your role or attitude. Six of Coins (Success), when reversed: Refusal to help others. Pomposity. Stinginess.

The card second from the bottom of the staff represents your environment and the people you are interacting with. Seven of Coins (Assessment): A step forward, accomplished with grace and skill.

The card second from the top of the staff represents your hopes, fears, or an unexpected element that will come into play. Queen of Cups: A person of generous and loving nature, graceful and sparkling as a mountain stream, or deep and serene as a country lake. A poetess, musician or actress.

The card at the top of the staff represents the ultimate outcome should you continue on this course. Ace of Coins: Prosperity. Security. Well-being. Material riches and spiritual richness.
