A card in the left position indicates what has happened to affect your question in the past.

Meaning: The implication here is that you are on the verge of something new; this may instill some nervousness and not always a sense of joy. But change is often good, and the Fool suggests that not only is courage needed to take the leap into what is essentially unknown, the card may also be warning you against a lack of risk taking and spontaneity. Taking a leap of faith may be necessary for the question to become an answer, particularly if the question refers to a situation that is stuck, or where the plug needs a good sharp pull to allow good flow. You can overthink the situation and in so doing talk yourself out of a potential outcome. Stop doing that, have faith, and take heed that a new beginning is necessary.

A card in the middle position indicates what is affecting your question at this time.

Meaning: Your faith may have been tested, your ideas may have been attacked, and you have fought back. There may still be some fight left in you. But what has all this done to your spirit? Those wands may well be other people, some of which certainly had it in for you, and they also can be aspects of yourself that you have been in constant battle with, but the question begs to be asked: aren't you tired of fighting? This situation requires a slight shift in focus, away from open defensiveness and conflict to using and expressing your courage and also persistence in more useful and productive ways.

A card in the right position indicates your questions future.

Meaning: This is a card that is on the surface blatantly obvious in its meanings, whatever the question. To find the Lovers present implies that there are issues concerning relationships, love, connection, and the myriad of ways these can express themselves in human life—however our personal beliefs and values express themselves in relationships. The question may be asking you to evaluate self-love. To love thyself is essential for anyone else to love you. Sexuality raises its head here, too; look to the cards on either side to guide you into the evaluation of this card and its place in the reading.
