A few people have asked me about a three card tarot spread that I sometimes use to get quick insights into a client’s question.
In my private practice I generally do a 12-card hybrid astrology / tarot spread that I developed years ago and which has evolved over time.
But for quickie sessions or to provide added insight into a question that needs a bit more clarity, I highly recommend a 3-card spread. By this I simply mean laying down three cards and reading them from left to right (or left, right, center — in that order).
By the way, I didn’t invent this spread. There are numerous variations out there and many — like the comprehensive system developed by Robert M. Place and outlined in his book The Tarot: History, Symbolism and Divination — have proven themselves to be relevant.
There are a few ways to approach doing a three card spread, depending on the nature of the questions involved:
Ask a Psychic: Will I Reunite With My Ex?
This week’s question comes from woman (whom we’ll call Teresa) whose boyfriend broke up with her during the most recent Mercury retrograde.
She knows enough about astrology to know that things can go haywire during a Mercury retrograde, but probably doesn’t know enough about it to have understood that there were far bigger transits at work during this period, namely Saturn and Pluto transits.
She says she was blind-sided and didn’t see this coming. She’s wondering whether there is a chance for reconciliation and if so when.
