The 3-Card Tarot Spread for Past, Present, and Future

The 3-Card Tarot Spread for Past, Present, and Future

Written by Raven Moreno

As the veil between worlds thins during Practical Magic Season, we’re offered a chance to connect deeply with the energies surrounding us—and there’s no better way to do that than with a simple yet powerful 3-card spread: Past, Present, Future. This spread, like magic itself, cuts straight to the heart of the matter, offering a clear glimpse into your journey through the lens of time.

Tarot is all about tapping into your truth, both light and shadow, so let’s take a moment to explore this spread and what it can reveal for you.

🃏 The Past:
The Past card is where your story begins. The energy, the baggage, the lessons—they’ve shaped you. Think of this card as your guide to understanding the weight (and wisdom) of what you're carrying into this season. What lessons, cycles, or even scars have brought you here? The Past card calls out your baggage hard. What are you clinging to, and why? This is your chance to reflect and decide—are you gonna keep dragging those skeletons along, or are you ready to drop them and glow up? Your choice, but the season’s telling you to release the dead weight like dead leaves falling off a tree.

🃏 The Present:
Now this card is your wake-up call—what’s happening in the now? No filters, no distractions. This is where you’re at, for real. The Present card gives you a raw truth check. What’s demanding your attention? What magic is already unfolding, and are you even paying attention? Stop sleeping on your power. The vibe is potent right now, so lean in. Channel the energy of the season and own your moment. You’re not just existing—you’re creating your reality.

🃏 The Future:
This card offers a glimpse into the path ahead, but don’t think of it as set in stone—think of it as a direction, a possibility...a vibe. What’s next on your journey, and how can you align yourself with your highest potential? As the shadows lengthen and the energy intensifies, this card asks you: What are you willing to become? The future is just a choice away, and this season gives you the power to make that choice consciously, without fear of the darkness. This card is giving you a heads-up—so, what’s your move? Keep playing small, or embrace your inner baddie and go all in?

This 3-card spread is more than just a glimpse into time—it’s a mirror, reflecting the parts of you that are ready to evolve. The past reminds you where you’ve been, the present demands your attention, and the future invites you to step into your power. Use this spread as a tool for self-reflection, and trust the cards to reveal what’s waiting beneath the surface. Tarot doesn’t lie—it just reflects what’s already within you. If you’re bold enough to face it, the cards will tell you everything you need to know. 💀✨

So, are you ready to dive in? Grab your tarot deck and pull three cards. Let their stories unfold and illuminate the path you’re walking this season. You might be surprised by what you find when you really listen.

And if you’ve already drawn a 3-card spread, share your insights with me in the comments. Let’s talk tarot and the kind of magic that doesn’t shy away from the shadows. I want to hear about the truths you've uncovered.

Remember, the cards never lie—they just wait for you to listen. 🖤
