Tarot spread · 3 cards
The Past, Present, Future spread
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.
Try it now — turn each card. The shuffle is real.
1Past
What set this in motion — the root that is still feeding the present.
2Present
The center of gravity right now.
3Future
Where the current line leans if nothing changes — a direction, not a verdict.
