Some examples of questions we can answer:

How to do the spread of 3 in the tarot?
For this spread, the cards are shuffled and 3 cards are placed on the table, from left to right.
Then a fourth card will be placed on the right, this card is hidden and will be revealed numerologically.
How to reveal the hidden card?
This spread has a secret card that is found numerologically by adding the corresponding number of the previous cards. If the sum results in a number greater than 22 (The fool), proceed to add each of its digits.
Example:
- Let’s suppose that Death (13), The Fool (22) and the emperor (4) have appeared.
- Adding their numbers will result in 39 because 13, plus 22, plus 4 is = 39.
- Then, if the result is greater than 22, it is numerologically reduced. Thus, if the number is 39, we make 3, plus 9, = 12.
- Then, we look for the arcane to which that number corresponds. This is the hidden card.
- Therefore, the fourth card will be the hanging. We can look for the card or have it in our mind.
How to interpret the spread?
The reading and interpretation of the spread will be, from left to right, as follows.
- The first card indicates the past, the cause. This card shows us why we are here.
- The second and third cards are the solution to your current situation. As the present is the product of the actions of the past, this card must be related to the previous card. Some tarot readers also interpret the third card as advice.
- Unlike the spread of 3 simple, what is clear is that the third card is referred and related to the present.
- The fourth card indicates the resolution, this is the hidden card that we reveal numerologically and is the card of the future. It reveals what is going to happen in a short period of time.
As we know the future is the sum of the consequences of the past and the present, and this card reveals the future, indicating the final trend.
