Most of the readings I have done were in the Celtic Cross format. I have used the Celtic Cross both as a general life reading, as well as according to one specific matter/question/concern.
1. "This covers [one*]." Placed over/covering the Significator, this card will represent the general atmosphere surrounding the matter.
2. "This crosses one." Placed horizontally across #1, this card will represent the 'nature of forces opposing the subject'- I tend to look at this as what the subject will be up against (good or bad), or what they should look out for.
3. "This crowns one." This card is one I've recently had difficulty interpreting. I've seen it defined as the person's hopes on the matter, or as the general influences surrounding the matter. I tend to lean more towards the latter explanation, but am keeping an eye out for a clearer style of interpretation. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
4. "This is beneath one." This card represents the foundation of the matter, the past experiences that have built it up to what it is now.
5. "This is behind one." This card represents the influences that have just passed or are about to pass (past and immediate present).
6. "This is before one." This card represents the influences about to occur.
7. This card represents the attitude of the subject towards the matter.
8. This card represents the influence or opinions of the subject's friends/family.
9. This card represents the hopes and/or fears of the subject (hence why #3 is a little different)
10. This card represents the general outcome or culmination of all influences, etc.

*[one] represents the Significator- typically an item of personal value to the subject, like a bracelet, etc.
**This format was taken mostly from "The Book of Tarot" by [TBA] based on the Morgan-Greer Tarot Deck (what I use).
