Your Past / Present / Future Draw of the Day

Meanings of the cards when read in their upright position:

1. The Past

Three of Cups
The Three of Cups indicates the celebration of friendship, and the joy of being together. You are enjoying time with close friends and remembering the good times that you have shared. Great achievements are toasted among you, suggested by the bountiful harvest at the feet of the women celebrating. This is a time of appreciation of the deeper sense of understanding that you share with your closest friends. It is said that we find few true friends in our lifetime. Treasure yours always.

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

King of Cups
The King of Cups directs his creative powers to achieve success. He practices self discipline, sometimes even at the expense of his dreams, to rise to power. The water seen rolling in waves denotes his emotional powers, as he is a caregiver, capable of manifesting harmonious situations and feelings. You, or one close to you, channels creative energy into something to benefit more than yourself, or him/herself.

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 Pentacles
The person in the Nine of Pentacles has made her own way, and enjoys freedom within the boundaries she has created for herself. The wall of Pentacles she touches has been created and nurtured by her. She is alone but for her falcon, symbol of the intellect, which she has trained. The bird, like her, enjoys a modicum of freedom within the boundaries of its responsibilities. This person is self-sufficient, and cherishes her private time, her 'space'. She has sacrificed adventure and reckless abandon to achieve her goals, and she knows she made the right choice.

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.
