A 3-card tarot reading: How to Read the Three Card Spread

Thank you for your support over the years! I have retired from teaching tarot, but want to leave these videos as a resource for anyone who would like to learn.
The cards used in all of my videos are from The Simple Tarot Deck Starter Kit, which is now permanently out of print.
The free PDF tarot cheat sheet mentioned in the videos can still be found at www.AngieGreenTarot.com. All course materials mentioned in the videos were exclusively for paid students and are no longer available.
The books are still available, through your favorite local bookstore or from the following links:
Simple Tarot Card Meanings (for all 78 cards): www.amazon.com/Simple-Tarot-C...
The Daily Tarot (365 days of tarot inspiration, with journaling prompts): www.amazon.com/Daily-Tarot-36...
Happy taroting, and I hope you have wonderful adventures as you learn and explore the cards!

    I try to interpret my readings like this.... i think of it like a children’s book that just has pictures no words and you are reading to a child/your child and u use the pictures to make up a story literally from one picture to the next and use every thing in the picture to make the story interesting ..... the story will always change for each reader because each reader will see the pictures in the book/cards differently from another reader... that is how i do it 😌

    The Universe reveals truth. Reading the cards is not meant for character assassination, gossip or fear mongering. Tarot Reading expands, opens your mind, heart, spirit. Learning tools. The 3-card reading is very powerful and you can add more cards to (m)any of the three to clarify and expand the message. My Readings are free. Our abilities are not for sale. :--)

    Yay! Welcome to the wonderful world of tarot! Some people give extra meaning to jumpers. Personally, I'm such a terrible shuffler that cards jump All The Time, so I just ignore them. As a beginner, I suggest ignoring reversed cards for now - just turn the card upright when it shows up in a spread. There's plenty of time to learn the reversed meanings later!

It's super flexible, and can be used for a lot of different situations. Hope that helps!

I hope that question makes sense. Maybe different people do it different ways? I am used to just doing one card pulls because I am not sure the correct way to form the question for 3 cards
