Your Past / Present / Future Draw of the Day

Meanings of the cards when read in their upright position:
1. The Past
The StarThe Star is the eighteenth card in the Major Arcana, and is given the number 17 to indicate the conscious mind represented by the Magician (1) opening up to the many directions possible with the control over his Chariot (7). Below one giant yellow star (1), and seven smaller white stars (7), a beautiful woman kneels with one knee on land and one foot on the water. With a jug in each hand, she pours water into both. She is taking inspiration from her creative, intuitive side (water), applying it to her surroundings and daily life (earth), and using the power it gives her to replenish the source of her creativity (water), making a complete cycle. In essence, she is healing herself with water, the source of all life. Her nakedness is symbolic of her purity and honesty, to others as well as to herself. She is in her most natural state, indicating that her task comes with ease, and her calm, serene expression gives her work a meditative quality.
The Star represents your hopes and dreams. If you have ever wished that you could do meaningful work that you could actually enjoy, the Star indicates an opportunity. It is time for you to pursue your dream. Go to the source within your mind and heart, and replenish yourself by freeing your spirit. Allow your true self to shine through. Immerse yourself in the things that bring you joy, and inner peace. If your situation indicates health issues, this is a card that indicates a replenishing and healing of the physical body as well.
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
Three of SwordsOne of the most disquieting cards of the Tarot is the Three of Swords. The images show three swords penetrating the heart, which implies that you may be going through a state of intense sorrow. This card shows separation, divorce, and perhaps even the harmful intrusion of a third party, as in an extramarital affair. The falling rain seems to enhance the dismal nature of this card, but fear not. From the fall of rain comes growth. You will become stronger from this experience, and your own inner love will shine through.
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 WandsThe 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.
