The 3-Card Tarot Spread for Past, Present, and Future
Written by Raven Moreno
As the veil between worlds thins during Practical Magic Season, weâre offered a chance to connect deeply with the energies surrounding usâand thereâs 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 letâs take a moment to explore this spread and what it can reveal for you.
đ The Past:
The Past card is where your story begins. The energy, the baggage, the lessonsâtheyâve 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 decideâare you gonna keep dragging those skeletons along, or are you ready to drop them and glow up? Your choice, but the seasonâs telling you to release the dead weight like dead leaves falling off a tree.
đ The Present:
Now this card is your wake-up callâwhatâs happening in the now? No filters, no distractions. This is where youâre at, for real. The Present card gives you a raw truth check. Whatâs 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. Youâre not just existingâyouâre creating your reality.
đ The Future:
This card offers a glimpse into the path ahead, but donât think of it as set in stoneâthink of it as a direction, a possibility...a vibe. Whatâs 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-upâso, whatâs 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 timeâitâs a mirror, reflecting the parts of you that are ready to evolve. The past reminds you where youâve 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 whatâs waiting beneath the surface. Tarot doesnât lieâit just reflects whatâs already within you. If youâre bold enough to face it, the cards will tell you everything you need to know. đâ¨
So, are you ready to dive in? Grab your tarot deck and pull three cards. Let their stories unfold and illuminate the path youâre walking this season. You might be surprised by what you find when you really listen.
