3 Card Spread


The three card spread is a very quick way to get insight into a particular problem, issue or concern.

Shuffle the cards as usual. Shuffle until you feel comfortable, making three piles with your left hand. Shuffle each pile of cards individually. Put them back into one pile in any order you wish with your left hand.

You can either make three piles of twelve cards and interpret the top cards or you can draw the first three cards and interpret them.

You can interpret them as:
The left card is the past (which is yesterday back one year) and perhaps what you could not do to make things better.

The middle card is the present. It will depict the way you are handling and seeing the situation from your perspective.

The right card is the future or the outcome of the situation.

Remember: If you don't like the outcome or situation, change it. You have free will and can change anything you don't like. Take a risk, change things that are negative and move forward to the outcome you desire.
