    Versatile: Whether you are seeking answers to a specific question or general guidance, this spread adapts to all needs.

    Put it into practice

    Here’s how you can perform your three-card spread today:

    1. Clarify your question: Take a moment to reflect on what you wish to discover. Keep this question in mind throughout the spread.
    2. Shuffle and cut: With your question in mind, shuffle the cards and cut the deck into three.
    3. Draw three cards: Select three cards from the top of each pile and lay them out from left to right: past, present, future.
