A Simple 3-Card Tarot Spread for Clarity

The Tarot is not a rigid tool of prediction. It is a mirror, a set of 78 symbolic keys that help unlock the quiet wisdom you already hold. When you feel clouded or seek a gentle nudge, a simple three-card spread is often the most grounding practice.

This spread is not about a fixed future but about the flow of energy. We call it Past • Present • Path.

It offers a simple narrative, allowing you to see where you have been, understand where you stand, and reflect on a supportive way forward.

The Spread

Draw three cards from your shuffled deck, placing them from left to right.

• Card 1 (Left): The Past. This card reflects the root of your question. It is the foundation, the past event, or the core energy that has led you to this moment.
• Card 2 (Middle): The Present. This is the heart of the matter. It reflects your current situation, the immediate challenge, or the central energy you are working with right now.
• Card 3 (Right): The Path. This is not a fixed "future." It is a potential, a reflection of where the current energy is leading. It may be seen as a challenge to overcome, a path to embrace, or simply advice offered by the cards.

How to Reflect

Hold your question, but keep it open. Instead of "Will X happen?", ask:

• "What do I need to understand about this situation?"
• "What energy can support my growth right now?"
• "What pattern am I invited to see?"

Look at the story the cards tell. Does the energy flow from conflict (Swords) to emotion (Cups)? From potential (The Fool) to action (The Magician)? The insight is found in the connections.

The cards do not dictate. They reflect. You hold the power, the agency, and the final choice.
