Three-Card Spreads

Three-Card Spreads

Three-card spreads are the workhorse of tarot. They're simple enough to do daily, powerful enough for serious questions. The key is choosing the right framework for your question.

Popular Three-Card Frameworks

• Past / Present / Future — Classic narrative flow
• Situation / Action / Outcome — Problem-solving
• Mind / Body / Spirit — Wellbeing check-in
• Option A / Option B / Advice — Decision making
• What to embrace / What to release / What to watch — Personal growth

Choose the framework before you shuffle — this sets your intention and makes interpretation cleaner.
