I love 3-card spreads — they give good insight without getting messy. Some other spreads I use:
Past, Present, Future:
- Card 1: Past influences
- Card 2: Present situation
- Card 3: Future outcome
Mind, Body, Spirit:
- Card 1: Mental state
- Card 2: Physical state
- Card 3: Spiritual state
Problem, Action, Outcome:
- Card 1: The problem or challenge
- Card 2: Action to take
- Card 3: Expected outcome
Strengths, Weaknesses, Advice:
- Card 1: Your strengths
- Card 2: Your weaknesses
- Card 3: Advice moving forward
They work well for quick questions and you can tweak them to fit what you need. If you try any, tell us what you pull.
