One of the most common tarot spreads is the three-card draw: past, present, future. It’s simple, intuitive, and surprisingly powerful. But what does it actually show you?
The past card isn’t just about history. It’s about context. It reveals what shaped the moment you’re in—what patterns, choices, or experiences brought you here. Sometimes it’s comforting. Sometimes it’s confronting. Either way, it helps you see the roots.
The present card is the mirror. It reflects what’s happening now—not just externally, but internally. It asks: What are you feeling? What are you avoiding? What are you carrying? It’s not always obvious until you see it laid out in front of you.
And then there’s the future card. This one gets misunderstood a lot. It’s not a prediction. It’s a possibility. A trajectory. A signal of where things might go if nothing changes—or what could emerge if something does. It’s not fixed. It’s fluid.
Together, these three cards create a snapshot of movement. Not just where you’ve been or where you’re going, but how you’re evolving. It’s less about answers and more about awareness. A way to pause, reflect, and recalibrate.
So next time you draw three cards, don’t rush to interpret. Sit with them. Let them speak. You might be surprised by what they reveal—not about your fate, but about your unfolding.
