Three-position Spreads.

 I'm going to use the term "position" instead of "card" because you know I like to use more than one card in a position from time to time. More on that here.

Three-position spreads are popular because they are flexible, and can be adapted to any situation or question. The possibilities are endless. Simply laying them out left to right is fine, or you can place them in a triangle, or inverse triangle, or maybe even a starburst pattern. Sky's the limit. Find what feels right for the reading you're doing, or the question you're asking.

Past - Present - Future is probably the most-used reading using three position. The first position is past influence, the second position is what's happening now, and the third position is a future trend or result.

Some other 3-position spreads are:

  • Mind - Body - Spirit
  • Idea - Implementation - Result
  • Querent - Partner - Relationship
  • Desire - Challenge - Advice
  • The Known - The Unknown - Guidance
  • Step 1 - Step 2 - Step 3 (toward a goal)
  • Strengths - Weaknesses - Direction
And so forth. You can create as many spreads as you like for 3 positions, but just make sure you have the lay-out and position meanings firmly in your mind before drawing the cards.
