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, there was a pure side to your childhood. You lived while steadily building precious memories in your heart. Those memories became the foundation that supports your life today.

Present — Now, you are in a time when old memories are resurfacing. You are organizing your thoughts while remembering old places or people. You should discover the value of the lessons hidden behind the longing.

Future — From here on, past memories will determine the direction of your life. Past experiences will flow into your current choices. You can use the realizations you gained then as a standard for your life.

Reversed

Past — In the past, you stayed in a good moment from before. You could not let go of those memories and kept holding onto them. That mindset made your current steps heavy.

Present — Now, you are in a situation where you are staying in an old stage. You are leaving your heart in the past while longing for those days. You must confirm that your current situation is different from back then.

Future — From here on, you will move toward a new stage. You will break away from your old self and realize your current position. You will leave past memories behind and live your current life.

As your card of the day

Upright — Today is a good day to look at an old photograph. If you ask yourself whether you still want to do what you loved back then, the answer will come naturally.

Reversed — It is better not to repeat the thought 'how was it back then' today. Simply finishing one task in the present will create space that the past used to occupy.
