The 3-card tarot reading: understanding a situation completely

Tarot reading is one of the most renowned forms of clairvoyance. It has captivated crowds for several centuries now and continues to intrigue just as many curious enthusiasts wishing to learn a piece of their destiny. Richer in predictions than astrological horoscopes, tarot reading draws on numerous card decks such as the Rider Waite or the Belline Oracle.

But the most famous of all, ever since the fortune tellers of old made it popular, remains the Tarot of Marseille deck. The latter is moreover available in several types of reading, including the one that uses only 3 cards.

What is the 3-card tarot reading?

When a tarot client wishes to have a session performed, it is because they want to know the ins and outs of a situation they are facing, or are about to face. It is a feeling of extreme curiosity, but one that is part of human nature and is therefore quite legitimate.

Because living in doubt has never been very cheerful, especially when an upcoming event can have many repercussions on our close everyday life. What a divinatory reading offers, through the interpretation of the cards of a tarot deck, is the ability to realize in advance the outcome of a present or soon-to-come situation.

While there are complete readings that emphasize the personality and mental psychology of the subject before predicting their future, others, simpler and quicker to perform, will merely answer a question asked about a situation casting doubt in their mind. This is the case with the 3-card tarot reading. Still more complete than the 1-card reading, though quite close to it, this one offers a small panel of visions regarding a piece of the consultant’s past, present and future.

It is also one of the most widely used readings after the famous cross reading. It requires a certain effort of concentration and above all a question asked concerning important subjects such as love, work, health and money.

Unlike the 1-card daily tarot reading, the 3-card reading is performed with the entire set of cards of the Tarot of Marseille deck.

How does the 3-card tarot reading work?

First of all, you must begin by shuffling the cards of the complete deck, that is to say mix them carefully together. After spreading them out in front of you, you will gaze at them at length, all the while thinking intently about the question you are going to ask them once they are turned over. You will now need to draw 3 from the lot, face down, and lay them on a flat surface. Their arrangement in a horizontal line is an important step.

Thus, the 1^st card drawn will go to the left and will represent the past and therefore all the events that led you to this situation troubling you. The second will be placed in the center and will represent the present and what you are at this precise moment. As for the 3^rd card, it will be placed to the right and will represent the consultant’s future, but also the direction the event that led you to do this divinatory reading is going to take.

Now comes the crucial moment of this reading, which consists of turning over these 3 cards one by one and interpreting them according to what they represent and symbolize. You will need to reread them several times and with great attention to best capture their various meanings and especially the nature of the message they are going to convey to you.

Note that this 3-card tarot reading is also considered a daily tarot, meaning it can perfectly well be used every day of the year, provided it is performed only once a day.

Why do a 3-card tarot reading?

The aim in performing such a reading is to be able to take a little step back from this upcoming event. Whether the interpretation of the cards is favorable to you or not, it should be of precious help in being able to consider how to follow up on this event that will have made you doubt for so long.
