Your Past / Present / Future Draw of the Day
 |  |  |
Meanings of the cards when read in their upright position:
1. The Past
Knight of PentaclesFrequently, the Knight refers to you, or someone who strongly influences your life in the situation in question, but does not have to be male. The way the Knight of Pentacles sits upon his horse, upright, and the way his steed appears to stand, steadfast, epitomizes the essence of this card, and the person in question. He stares out beyond his pentacle, which can indicate that he is so busy working that he has neglected or forgotten what he is working for. The Knight of Pentacles signifies a person who gives his greatest effort in all he does, but can sometimes be so driven and so determined that he loses sight of what is most important to him.
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
Ten of CupsThe Ten of Cups suggests the success of family and emotional fulfillment. The rainbow is the promise of stability and protection, and in the Bible, the rainbow was used as God's promise that he would never again send a flood of destruction to the earth. You may be in the process of realizing how strong your family is, and what they have done to help create who you are and give you strength. Your current family, if you have one, is growing closer, perhaps after a very trying time. This card can also signify the start of a new family, like a young tree sending its first roots into the ground.
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 WandsThe Nine of Wands indicates a pause, a time to 'wait and see.' You have seen many battles relating to your situation, and you have fought hard. Like the man in the card whose head is bandaged but unbowed, your Will shall remain intact. These conflicts have strengthened you, but they have hardened you, making you better able to weather life's struggles, but at what price? Be aware of your defenses and when they are triggered...they may make you seem unapproachable. Someone will try to earn your trust, which is hard won at best. Don't pick fights, or see trouble where there isn't any; you can keep your thick skin, but don't build walls. In the end, you will only block yourself if you do.
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.
- Reading Guidance -
Before you draw: Hold a question or situation lightly in mind — not a yes/no, but an open one. What do I need to understand about this? works better than Will this happen?
Reading the spread: Look at each card individually first, then step back and read the spread as a sentence. Cards reinforce each other, contradict each other, and sometimes one card explains what another one seems to be hiding. Trust what strikes you immediately before you read the description.
If a card confuses you: Sit with it rather than pulling a clarifier right away. The card that doesn't make sense now often makes sense by the end of the day. If it still doesn't land, a single clarifying card drawn separately can help focus the energy.
Reversed cards in this deck speak to inward energy, delay, or a quality that needs to be reclaimed — not necessarily a bad omen, but an invitation to look more carefully at what is blocked or turned inward.
