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 were away from the clamor of the world. You stayed quietly in your own space, examining yourself. That solitary time became the foundation of your life.
Present — Now, it is a time when you must briefly reduce the noise of life. You are listening to the resonance deep within your heart rather than outward phenomena. You need a process of following your inner light.
Future — From here on, the answers to life will begin to appear clearly. The wisdom gained through solitude will light your path. You should maintain an attitude of moving forward while focusing on your inner voice.
Reversed
Past — In the past, you were lost in deep thought alone. You kept your distance from the world and sometimes hid in your own world. That isolated time made your current loneliness deeper.
Present — Now, you are lost in your own worries while disconnected from those around you. You are choosing isolation by avoiding reality rather than facing it. You need an effort to attempt a connection with someone you can trust.
Future — From here on, you will break out of your own framework. You will see yourself ending your isolation by communicating with others. You will learn how to solve problems by sharing your heart with people.
As your card of the day
