Your Past / Present / Future Draw of the Day
 |  |  |
Meanings of the cards when read in their upright position:
1. The Past
Ace of PentaclesThe hand in the Ace of Pentacles bestows its blessings in a garden full of a variety of delights. Earth’s bounty is physical and comes in the form of tangible pleasures. Patience brings prosperity, and the one who has worked hard on this garden now takes pride in its beauty and abundance...good tending yields good results. The floral gate in the background, reminiscent of the ring surrounding the self-actualized person on the World card, can indicate a door of opportunity for new business, property, or other practical assets opening up for you.
The concept of the past sounds like an obvious one, but often there are subtleties involved. While this can include the Querent’s past, it can also include events or the feelings of others that have had an impact or influence on the current situation. Does it necessarily mean things that took place long ago? Maybe... or it could be a conversation that took place last week.
2. The Present
Ace of SwordsIn the Ace of Swords, the crowned sword of intellect is held over the mountains, literally denoting the triumph of mind over matter. Truth and honesty prevail, symbolized by the palm of victory, and peace is found, symbolized by the olive branch. Violent acts of force are not necessary to achieve your goals. Your determination and strength of Will have surmounted the obstacles in your path.
The center card symbolizes the present–the things that are happening right now around you. Because this spread contains only three cards, many things can be read into this card that might normally be seen in several cards in other spreads.
3. The Future
Nine of CupsEnjoying the fulfillment of desire is indicated by the Nine of Cups. You may be in a place in your life where you are comfortable and happy, and are able to enjoy the many rewards of your past actions. Contentment and luxury are suggested by the imagery of the man, sitting comfortably, enjoying the nine cups arranged on the banquet table. Life is your banquet, and you’ve earned the right to enjoy it. In old tradition, the Nine of Cups is the 'Wish Card' and was always thought to mean the fulfillment of one’s innermost desires.
Our last card represents the final outcome. It could be a long-term goal or an immediate resolution, depending on the question and the situation that the Querent is facing.
