Past, Present, Future

The oldest three-beat in tarot: where this began, where it stands, where it leans. Not a forecast — a way of seeing one situation as a moving line instead of a frozen point.

When it helps: When a situation feels stuck and you need to remember it has a direction.

The positions

  1. 1

    Past

    What set this in motion — the root that is still feeding the present.

  2. 2

    Present

    The center of gravity right now.

  3. 3

    Future

    Where the current line leans if nothing changes — a direction, not a verdict.

Ways to ask

  • Where is this project actually heading?

  • Help me see this friendship as a whole.

  • What is the arc of this year so far?
