A three card spread can be used in many ways …  past, present, future; desires, obstacles, aids; the high road, the low road, the middle path.

Draw three cards and keep an open heart.

YOU DREW THREE CARDS:

The Devil

An unexpected, last-minute challenge or temptation. Unbridled passion. Gross sensuality. Greed. Materialism. Unreason.

Ravage, violence, vehemence, extraordinary efforts, force, fatality; that which is predestined but not for this reason evil. Reversed: Evil fatality, weakness, pettiness, blindness.

 

The Empress

An idealized feminine spirit. One’s home, nation, or land. Nurturing. Protection.

Fruitfulness, action, initiative, length of days; the unknown, clandestine; also difficulty, doubt, ignorance. Reversed: Light, truth, the unravelling of involved matters, public rejoicings; according to another reading, vacillation.

 

Ten of Swords

Swords: Defending. Self-defense and setting boundaries. Think of drawing a line in the sand with a sword point.

Ten: Enough already. You’ve attained your goals, but find them unsatisfying. Time to begin something new.

A prostrate figure, pierced by all the swords belonging to the card. Divinatory Meanings: Whatsoever is intimated by the design; also pain, affliction, tears, sadness, desolation. Reversed: Advantage, profit, success, favour, but none of these are permanent; also power and authority.
