Your Past / Present / Future Draw of the Day

Meanings of the cards when read in their upright position:

1. The Past

Queen of Cups
The Queen of Cups knows what she wants, and takes the steps necessary to get it. She symbolizes the strength of the abilities of the imagination and the psychic self. Seated at the edge of the ocean, she dips into these powers. As water takes the shape of its container, the Queen assumes the moods of others. This may be what you are doing, or it may describe the actions of a person important to your current situation.

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

Four of Pentacles
The Four of Pentacles indicates that you are working to achieve stability through reliance on material gain. You may be blocking yourself from the world around you, symbolized by the character in the image who covers his head, heart, and feet with his wealth, protecting himself from interference from the outside world. What are you afraid of losing, so much that you are hoarding everything you can? You are proving that you are adept at saving money, and you deserve the hard earned financial success you are winning, but once in a while you must take time out to enjoy some of the bounty of your success.

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

Two of Wands
The Two of Wands represents opportunity, especially in business. Perhaps you are in the process of laying the foundation for a new venture. You have achieved some success, indicated by the wand fastened securely to the castle wall. Also note the lilies of purity balanced by the red roses of desire. This shows the balance with which you approach your goal. The wand in one hand represents your undertaking and the globe in the other suggests the tremendous potential for success. The character in the image, looking out to sea, suggests trade and could indicate strong partnerships and alliances. You are in the early stages of a prosperous enterprise.

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.
