Three Card
past-present-future · situation-action-outcome · mind-body-spirit
Layout structure
Three cards laid side by side from left to right. Classic meanings: 1st card past, 2nd card present, 3rd card future. Alternatives: situation-action-outcome, mind-body-spirit, you-relationship-partner. Interpret based on chosen theme. Quick but deep.
When to use it
Ideal when one card is insufficient but Celtic Cross-level depth isn't needed. Used for daily situation analysis, short-term decisions, momentary relationship evaluation, quick plan check. Beginners' first "spread" experience often starts here.
Example reading
Question: "Should I accept the new job offer?" Past: Ten of Wands (exhaustion). Present: Knight of Wands (leap). Future: Six of Wands (victory). Reading: after exhaustion, take the leap, success will come.
