Your Past / Present / Future Draw of the Day
 |  |  |
Meanings of the cards when read in their upright position:
1. The Past
Ace of CupsThe Ace of Cups in your present situation suggests that you are experiencing a wellspring of emotions, especially love. Perhaps you are in the process of finding a new love interest, or discovering renewed feelings in a relationship you already have. The dove, representative of spiritual love, symbolizes the depth to which this emotional renewal is touching you. It has given you a new emotional perspective. The water flowing from the cup suggests that your emotional being (represented by the water below) is becoming recharged from this outpouring.
The concept of the past sounds like an obvious one, but often there are subtleties involved. While this can include the Querent’s past, it can also include events or the feelings of others that have had an impact or influence on the current situation. Does it necessarily mean things that took place long ago? Maybe... or it could be a conversation that took place last week.
2. The Present
Six of SwordsThe Six of Swords represents a retreat that you are in the process of taking. You have been dealing with heavy stress, signified by the choppy water behind the boat. This card can also indicate that you feel 'haunted' by someone or something, and you seek closure. You are in the process of leaving this behind, setting forth for the calmness of still waters. You are learning to balance your mental state, evidenced by the swords that do not fall though the boat is in motion. You are also the protector in the situation. Your loved ones are relying on you to carry them away from troubled waters. You won’t let them down.
The center card symbolizes the present–the things that are happening right now around you. Because this spread contains only three cards, many things can be read into this card that might normally be seen in several cards in other spreads.
3. The Future
The FoolThe Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, and is given the number zero to indicate that it is the very beginning—before everything. Many people misinterpret the Fool, believing its message to signify absurdity or moronic behavior. On the contrary, the Fool is a symbol of the Creator, the 'All That Is', or however you envision deity. He symbolizes the trickster aspect of divinity: God’s sense of humor, if you will. The Fool seems to be stepping off a cliff to certain doom. He turns his face and eyes upward, not noticing the fate that awaits. In his satchel, he has what little he needs for his journey. His companion, a little white dog, runs along at his heels. The dog can be seen as humanity’s most extreme attitudes toward divinity: either seen as following blindly along, or lacking the firmness of belief necessary to take the step the Fool is about to make, and therefore, trying to hold him back.
The real message here is one of optimism. You must make a leap of faith, taking only the baggage that benefits you, with the ultimate trust that you will make it alright. The Fool encourages you to go beyond your boundaries, to work past your fears, and to believe that anything is possible.
Our last card represents the final outcome. It could be a long-term goal or an immediate resolution, depending on the question and the situation that the Querent is facing.
