Features of Tarot fortune telling “Three Cards”

The presented layout is one of the simplest. But they turn to him in cases when it is impossible to answer asked question definitely. Remember how we learned to make a forecast for the day. We pulled out one card from any deck the day before or in the morning on the same day that we were going to live. By general appearance the map and its position could immediately tell what color we would spend the next 24 hours with.

The positive color certainly worked best, and the mood that day was wonderful. The card, which carried a negative charge, was alarming and kept me in suspense all day. Warned by the map, we no longer reacted so violently to troubles and always tried to find the right way out. We drew one card over a long period so that we could get to know the cards better and clarify the situation. But there are days when the day cannot be characterized as purely positive or negative. Additional meanings appeared in the middle of the phenomenon, which required additional clarification.

This is how we came to the Three Tarot Cards layout:

1. First they will try to explain to you what happened in the past and how it affected you. Many impatiently demand to move on to the next positions, since they themselves know the past well. This is the first mistake of a person who comes to make a layout. Your vision of the past may not coincide with how the three cards see it, and therefore you should not interrupt the fortune-telling. If you believe that there was a tragedy in the past, then the cards will call this situation a problem that you have not fully resolved, and which is still awaiting your intervention.
2. The second card of the layout will reveal the situation on at the moment.
3. The last card will show you how the situation will develop in the future.

Make sure that everything told above is clear to you - and then you can proceed to this simple and very useful layout.

Types and schemes of Tarot layouts for today

Usually the Tarot layout for today is used to find out about the main events of the current day, it is something like an individual forecast for today, it can also be compared with a horoscope for the day, but not a general one, but an individual one, prepared for you personally. Let's look at the options with which you can find out the events of the day.

One card

Prognostic. Determines the main energy of the day, and also describes the nature of the events that will happen to you today. You simply draw one lasso from the deck and interpret it.

Educational. Suitable for people studying Tarot cards. But in this case, instead of a forecast, one card will set the tone today. In this case, the card can be pulled out open and closed. In the case of the first option, during the day you analyze the events that happen to you and connect them with the meaning of the card, so to speak, you live it through experience, without really trying to change the course of events.

In the second case, in the evening of the current day, you open the map and, based on the events of the day, as well as your internal feelings and moods, analyze what happened to you during the day.

Three cards

WITH different options positions. For example, I have come across similar Tarot layout diagrams for today, for the day:

For various areas of life. For example:

1. relationship
2. career

Eventful and atmospheric. For example:

1. events of the first half of the day
2. afternoon events
3. third

And also, using the same principle, you can divide today into equal time periods and analyze in advance how the day will develop. For example, provided that you make yourself a schedule in the morning:

1. from 8 to 13 o'clock
2. from 13 to 18 o'clock
3. from 18 to 23 hours

Layouts with different, convenient for the fortuneteller, combination of questions. For example:

1. what awaits me today
2. what to pay attention to today
3. what will be important today

1. what feelings will I have today
2. what will I think about
3. what actions will I take

More than three cards

These options are suitable for lovers of complex analysis. And also for those days that, for one reason or another, seem important to the person asking the question (birthday, wedding, dissertation defense, etc.). In this case, the tarot layout for the day may have something like this:

1. what will I think about on this day
2. what feelings will I experience
3. possible events of this day
4. what will go well on this day
5. possible consequences of this day

You can also add items:

6. what you should pay attention to on this day and 7. what you should be wary of.

When to do it

There is no fundamental difference; you can do the layouts in the morning of the current day. Or in the evening. If you do it in the morning, you should structure your request to the Tarot something like this:

Schedule for today for Maria

If you are telling fortunes in the evening the next day, you can say:

Schedule for tomorrow for...

You can make the layout in advance, in which case you will need to indicate in the request the date for which you are making the layout, or the day of the week.

What to pay attention to

"Bad" cards

If there are “bad” cards, attention should be paid to neutralizing situations that contribute to the development of bad scenarios, if opportunities exist. For example, you saw the 5 of swords, foreshadowing a conflict. First, evaluate your mood; if you are in a bad mood in the morning, you may need to adjust it so as not to encounter trouble. And if you are peaceful and complacent, at the beginning conflict situation, the initiator of which, I hope, is not you, do everything in your power to avoid a collision.

If you are a quarrelsome person and are charged with energy from conflict, this recommendation, of course, will not work. I dare to hope that you are inclined towards self-improvement and see in the Tarot an assistant for your own spiritual or personal growth. There are situations, of course, that are difficult to avoid, but some of the bad omens can be smoothed out.

Major Arcana

If you see a predominance of cards with Roman numerals, it means that the day will be significant for you, not necessarily significant in a global sense (although this is possible), but, for example, more important than previous days.

Predominance of suit

For example, all the Tarot cards in your three-card daily layout belong to the suit of swords. This means that on this day you will pay more attention to intellectual activity, your thoughts, and the logical side of life.

Face cards

If you saw a figure in the layout (often a card of the same gender as the questioner symbolizes himself and some aspect of his personality depending on the suit), let’s say, of a different gender with the questioner, and who does this personality mean specifically, in Tarot layout for today, you can always clarify the “yes-no” (or “daat”) method by going through the names of people who may fit the description of the card. Then this person is assigned one of the main roles during the day, and perhaps the main one. Often this figure card can foretell who you will have an interaction with during the day, and the arcana surrounding it, if there are any, can tell what kind of interaction there will be.

As a conclusion, I will draw out a card of advice for the reader of this article for the current day, and if you are reading this text in the evening, then for the next. And this is in a straight position. So the advice is this: allow yourself to be a child on this day, do not burden yourself with serious adult problems, solve all the tasks that confront you on this day, playfully, enjoy the current moment. Have some fun.

The most simple layout on tarot cards to view the near future is fortune telling on three cards. The near future is a period of approximately a month to one and a half from the day of fortune telling. You can also set your own frames and spacing.

The prediction on three cards answers frequently asked questions and mainly relates to a layout that helps to understand the current situation, obtain additional information and find a way out of a difficult situation.

These methods can be used to clarify events in any area of ​​life; we can say that this is a universal layout for all occasions. Also, this type of mantle is general characteristics the current situation. Questions regarding the three-card spread should be specific and clearly formulated.

In one question there should not be hidden meaning or questionable. If there are several topics of interest, it is better to make several layouts to avoid confusion.

Fortune telling can be done both on the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana, you can also use full deck 78 cards. For any prediction, it is not prohibited to pull out additional and explanatory cards. As already mentioned, the layout consists of three cards, which can be laid out according to the following schemes and interpretations for them.

Option 1

1 – the past and its influence on the present state of affairs or on the question asked.

2 – the present and how it manifests itself, the influence of the present on the current situation.

3 – result, answer to the question asked. Summarizing the information received in positions 1 and 2. Advice on what to do with the information received, and what actions should be taken.

Option 2

1 – the current state of affairs, the true vision of the situation. It’s how the Universe and Tarot cards see the situation, not you.

2 – past, describing all events before the day of fortune telling. Also here you can see points that you did not pay attention to.

3 – the future, what awaits in the near future, the answer to a question or resolution of a situation.

Option 3

1 – the source of the current situation, why it happened.

2 – current state of affairs. The answer to the question: “What situation am I in now?”

3 – estimated future, if everything is left as it is.

In some layouts, final card 3 can give advice on what to do to correct the situation or course of events.

Option 4

A layout to clarify the situation in your personal life or relationships.

1 – characteristics of the situation, proposed actions in the current situation.

2 – warning – something you shouldn’t do.

3 – result – advice – question for turning inwards, analysis of the situation.

Three-card layout “Mood of the day”

general mood for a given day, your emotional state. Also this map can serve as a meditation card for the day.

2 – obstacles and difficulties that may arise on the set day.

3 – results of the day, what can be learned from the path traveled, what positive aspects await you, what is worth paying attention to.

Also for this position of cards: 1, 2, 3, the following interpretations can be used:

If you need to know the feelings and actions of a specific person.

1 – a person’s sincere thoughts about the fortuneteller.

2 – a person’s feelings for the fortuneteller. The feelings that a person experiences and those that he shows can be reflected here.

3 – actions of the person of interest to the fortuneteller.

If you need to find out who did what about you.

1 – who did something.

2 – what was done and in what form.

3 – why this was done, and how to correct the current situation.

Fortune telling for the near future:

1 – what is going to happen or happen.

2 – how it will happen or happen.

3 – how to react to the situation, your actions.
1 – where something happened or in what area.

2 – who is involved, who is involved, who is participating.

3 – why did this happen.

1 – what happened.

2 – why did this happen.

3 – how to react to this or how to solve the problem.

To obtain information about what is being done wrong in a given situation.

1 – the situation has been formed in the center, the state of affairs at the moment.

2 – circumstances of the situation.

3 – actions that are worth taking or things that should be abstained from or abandoned.

1 – the essence of the issue and the current situation.

2 – incorrect actions. This should not be done.

3 – correct actions. Something that needs to be done or done.

1 – the essence of the problem, the true state of affairs.

2 – solution to the problem option 1.

3 – solution to problem option 2.

You can also draw up your own interpretations based on these provisions and diagrams, thereby making your own layout.

The most common layout option is to place the first card in the middle, thereby forming the essence of the issue in the center, and focusing attention on the current situation. And on the left and right are the answers to the questions of what led to this situation (past) and how it will all end or what should be done (future).

Since divination on three cards foretells the near future, then the interpretation of the cards should be assessed at the moment. For example, if fortune telling was carried out after a quarrel with any person (no matter in what area) and the card of the Major Arcana Tower of Lightning fell out, then the meaning should be regarded as a violation of the relationship now at the moment, something has collapsed and gone right now, and not relationship collapse or breakup in the future.

Despite the fact that the cards speak of the near future, you can voluntarily set a period of time during which the result of the layout will be valid.

Examples of interpretations

Let's consider an example of the interpretation of the same cards, but in response to different questions. Three cards are given: 4 of Swords, 5 of Cups and 8 of Swords.

Question: it was, it became and how it will all end.

1 – past (4 swords) – a decision was made in the past.

2 – present (5 of Cups) – now there is a difficult state of affairs due to that very decision.

3 – future (8 swords) – the situation will not improve, the situation is fixated, you are captivated by the current situation.

Question: Need advice.

1 – advice given by cards (4 of Swords) – a decision needs to be made, action is needed.

2 – precautions (5 Cups) – do not follow the lead.

3 – result (8 of Swords) – you may have to go into conflicts to avoid repetitions and captivity. After we have learned the essence of the situation, we are ready to solve the current problem.

Question: characteristics of the current situation.

1 – characteristics of the situation, the essence of the issue, the key to understanding what is happening (4 of Swords) – the need to make a decision.

2 – commentary on the situation, the source of the current situation (5 of Cups) – you should not follow the lead.

Question: personal relationships.

1 – what is worth doing or what has already been done (4 of Swords) – the decision has been made, the crisis situation has passed.

2 – what has been done (5 of Cups) – the next step has been taken, the choice has been made to stay in the relationship

3 – result (8 of Swords) – this is the future, which leads to the next stage, captivity has been chosen, which means there is readiness and strength for further battle.

Thus, from this example it is clear that the same cards mean the same thing, but call for various actions and describe the situation in different ways, adapted to the question asked.

It is believed that if you want to get a true prediction, then you need to guess only on a new deck of cards, and no one except the fortuneteller can touch it. The only exception is when a person must move the deck or choose a pair of cards from it, for example, such a situation involves fortune telling with 3 cards.

Layout

Formulate the question you want answered, shuffle the cards and move them towards you, then take out any three cards and place them on the table. These cards contain the answer to your question. How to decrypt it?

It’s quite simple - look at the interpretation of each card. If you have any more questions along the way, you need to shuffle the remaining cards, move the deck and again take out three cards, placing them on the table. Thus, you can pull out cards three times, but no more! In total, there may be nine cards on the table, which will reveal the full picture. The cards must be interpreted in the same sequence in which they were drawn, the first three cards are the basis, the solution, the answer; the following cards allow you to delve deeper into the situation and its resolution; the last three cards depict and complement the essence of the picture as clearly as possible.
