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 managed your life with what you built yourself. You developed the strength to endure without help from others. That strength created your current composure.

Present — Now, you are living through what you have built yourself. You have gained composure in life and are enjoying your own time. You should manage your mind well within this peace.

Future — From here on, things will move toward a life of ease. You will see yourself living peacefully within what you have built. You should cherish your current composure.

Reversed

Past — In the past, things you saved were steadily accumulating. You always focused on collecting something while preparing for the next step. However, you were in a state where you could not enjoy what was right in front of you.

Present — Now, you are in a situation where you only watch the things that have accumulated. Your hands are still empty, so it is easy to act pretentiously. You need to make an effort to grasp what is in front of you.

Future — From here on, what you have built will flow as actual strength. You will see yourself grasping things that are truly yours, rather than just appearances. You should prepare to fully enjoy the fruits before you.

As your card of the day

Upright — Today, use one of the things you have set aside. Whether it is saved money or saved time, it is okay to spend it on yourself for this one day.

Reversed — It is better not to show off today. If you try to emphasize what you have, it may actually become a burden.
