How to Give a Three Card Tarot Reading

Here is how you can give a short three card reading using the tarot cards.

The Three Card Tarot Reading

Would you like to read the tarot cards? Start with a short reading with someone you know.


If you have a set of tarot cards and have not yet given a reading to someone, then why not try this quick three card reading to get you started.

The Reading

First, you need to have learned each of your tarot card's meaning, so that you will understand your cards thoroughly. Look at the pictures carefully, as intuition will become more enhanced each time you give a reading.

Next you will need a friend to try the three card reading on. Ask any of your friends to begin with and let them shuffle the cards. Let them pick three cards from the deck. 

Spread each card out on a table and turn over the first card. Look at this card by concentrating on it. Let your mind accept thoughts that may come into your head. This is your intuition working. 

Tell your friend whatever thoughts are in your head along with the meaning of each card and what you can see for their future or present. Past may come out or things that you have not been told about. 

Just repeat to your friend what is in your head and put the meaning of all three cards together, which will give you a story of some kind for your friend's past, present and future.


This can work if you just let your intuition do all the work and try to understand what you are seeing in the cards and with your intuition.
