Your Past / Present / Future Draw of the Day

Meanings of the cards when read in their upright position:

1. The Past

Knight of Pentacles
Frequently, the Knight refers to you, or someone who strongly influences your life in the situation in question, but does not have to be male. The way the Knight of Pentacles sits upon his horse, upright, and the way his steed appears to stand, steadfast, epitomizes the essence of this card, and the person in question. He stares out beyond his pentacle, which can indicate that he is so busy working that he has neglected or forgotten what he is working for. The Knight of Pentacles signifies a person who gives his greatest effort in all he does, but can sometimes be so driven and so determined that he loses sight of what is most important to him.

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

Page of Pentacles
Frequently, the Page refers to you, or someone of either sex who strongly influences your life in the situation, and tends to be young or have a youthful semblance. In this card, the Page’s garments of brown and green demonstrate his connection to the earth. He gazes at his pentacle with pride and reverence; he does not take what he has for granted because he has worked so hard to earn it, and he knows he deserves what he has. He is the student, mezmerized by each mystery his studies reveal. The pay-off matters very little to this person: he does what he loves to do. His success stems from his passion for his chosen field.

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

King of Wands
The King refers to you, or someone who strongly influences your life in the situation in question, but does not have to be male. The King's throne bears the totems of the element of Fire: the salamander and the lion. His command of this element, which signifies the Will, is further supported visually by the tiny lizard at his feet. He is a strong-minded individual, sometimes manipulating others through his Will. This forthright person is honest, fiery, and optimistic, and may feel like a natural leader. This energy could be better channelled away from others and into the pursuit of long term goals, especially career-oriented ones.

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.
