These three steps are in everything you do. When you read this, you get an impulse to read (past), you're reading (present), and you make a conclusion (future).

When you wake up in the morning, you do that because you first went to sleep (past), now waking up (present) to move further (future).

When you go to sleep, you have been awake (past); when you sleep (present), you will wake up (future).

All in life are in cycles, from the past present to the future.

You can't change the past, but you can be aware of how it was to change the past for next time. The present is how you experience things often; it depends on your beliefs. In the present, you can make a choice that will show the outcome for the future.

To get the answer to a question:

First, consider yourself if the question is for you or the person you're reading for.

Then the question for what time? Now, in a month or some other time.

At last, shuffle the cards, turn some reversed, shuffle, cut the deck once, lay the first card from the top to the left, the second after, and then the third.

Start with the first card, the one telling the past.

Is it a card from the Major Arcana? Look at the archetype and clues from the action of the card. It also means that the past is important.

Is it a card from the Minor Arcana? Look at what element.

Wands – fire -action

Cups – water – feelings

Pentacles – earth – security

Swords – air – thoughts.

Then the number:

1: A fresh start

2: Balance

3: Impulse

4: Structure

5: Stress

6: Achievement

7: Decision

8: Response

9: Realization

10:Fulfillment

From that, figure out the meaning of each card, from the past to the present, and finally, the outcome (future).

If you are in a situation where you can make choices, do the same, but after the first three cards, lay one pile below of three cards. Which of them will have the outcome you're looking for?

You find text on each card´s page with the past, present, and future meanings.
