Three card tarot
The classic three card spread
The three card spread is the heart of tarot: simple, clear and surprisingly deep. Three cards tell the story of your question from beginning to end.
At Sandra’s Tarot the three places are Situation, Challenge and Advice. Shuffle, choose your cards and your reading opens straight away.
Your first reading is free · no sign-up needed
How it works
- 1Think of your question, or simply what is on your heart.
- 2Shuffle, then choose three cards from the fan.
- 3Read your reading, then go deeper into love, career, money or general.
Questions you can ask
- “What do I need to understand about this situation?”
- “What is my biggest challenge right now?”
- “What advice do the cards have for me?”
- “How can I move forward?”
The three positions
Situation: where you stand now and the energy around your question. Challenge: what is testing you or standing in the way. Advice: what the cards suggest you do next.
Other ways to read three cards
Some readers use past, present and future, or mind, body and spirit. We chose situation, challenge and advice because it always ends with something you can do.
Going deeper
After your reading, choose love, career, finance or general, and the cards go deeper into that part of your life.
