In the past, present and future positions

When you draw three cards and read them as past, present and future, this card reads like this in each position.

Upright

Past — In the past, you had a firm attitude in finding the center of your life. You strove to establish fair standards by following the principles you set for yourself. That decision became the foundation for your life's framework.

Present — Now, you are establishing authority in all areas of your life. You are making judgments in every moment based on fair standards. You must stay centered so that the principles you set for yourself do not waver.

Future — From here on, the flow of your life will follow a clear order. Your life will be organized orderly according to established principles. You should be careful to maintain your decisiveness without losing fairness.

Reversed

Past — In the past, your attitude toward life was very firm. You lived strictly by following the rules you set for yourself. That attitude became the basis for creating order in your life.

Present — Now, your way of life has become somewhat cold. It is good to keep principles, but you are losing people. You should find balance by listening to the stories of those around you.

Future — From here on, the flow of your life will become much more flexible. If you look into people's hearts, better decisions will be possible. You will determine the direction of your life by accepting the opinions of others.

As your card of the day

Upright — Today, it is good to uphold principles while also considering exceptions. Instead of just saying, 'This is the rule,' try listening to the circumstances behind it to make a more accurate judgment.

Reversed — It is better not to make decisions arbitrarily today. Decisions made together last longer than those made alone.
