In this spread, there are three different positions which can be changed by to your preference, Past – Present – Future (or Situation – Action – Outcome, Situation – Obstacle – Advice and etc.).
The meaning of the card you choose varies according to it’s position.
This opening provides a GENERAL perspective to the period you are in. Or you can evaluate the comments in the frame of your question.
The Empress
Upright
Femininity, beauty, nature, nurturing, abundance
The Empress implies a strong connection with femininity. Femininity is explained in many ways, such as elegance, sensuality, fertility, creativity, nurturing – and is necessary for creating a balance between your masculinity and femininity. Create beauty in your life. Connect with your senses through taste, touch, hearing, smell, and sight. Be drawn on these senses to experience pleasure and joy. Explore different methods for expressing yourself creatively, be it through painting, music or other kinds of art.
You are in a period of growth; your all dreams and purposes could come into fulfillment. When the Empress appears in your Tarot readings, take a moment to think about the generosity that surrounds you and offer gratitude for all you have created so you can continue to build on this energy and create even more wealth in your life.
Like the Mother Earth model, the Empress urges you to be in nature to be in flow with the earth by grounding your energy. Take a trip to your favorite places such as forest, beach, mountain or lake and explore beauties, breathe in good energies. Receive the grounding spirit of nature into your heart and mind. So, you can reach higher planes of consciousness.
By being are in tune with the energy of the Empress, you will simply take on her mothering nature. You feel a strong urge to nurture and care for others, with deep compassion and care. You see it as a gift and an honor to help others. You may step into the role of ‘mother’, perhaps as the mother of a newborn, caretaker of other people’s children, or spending more quality time with your kids.
The Empress can also hint pregnancy or birth. This may be an actual pregnancy or childbirth, or a metaphorical ‘birth’ of a new idea. Bring your creative ideas into being by nurturing them and supporting their growth. Allow those designs and their demonstration to flow through you, acting with compassion and love.
Reversed
Creative block, dependence on others
Reversed, the Empress inspires you to make self-love a priority. Now is the time to bring your loving energy and focus to yourself, especially if you have been giving away your power by placing too much weight on another person’s emotional or material needs, therefore ignoring your own needs.
You may also need a more powerful connection with nature. Now is the perfect time to spend even just a few hours in a natural setting such as a beach, park or garden.
The Empress reversed can suggest that you are feeling a creative block, creating a new idea or expressing yourself.
The reversed Empress may call your awareness to problems around body image. Are you very critical when it comes to how you look and the shape of your body? Learn to love your body again and rediscover your beauty, inside and out.
Or you may take the ‘mothering’ role too far in your relationships, by becoming overprotective, co-dependent and controlling. If this resonates, it is time to shift your focus from the mother-child relationship to an adult-to-adult relationship by creating freedom and trust.
Judgement
Upright
Judgement, rebirth, inner calling, absolution
The Judgement card is a wake-up call for you to welcome a greater level of consciousness. You are experiencing an awakening and understanding that you are destined for so much more. You hear the signal and are ready to tune in to a higher frequency. Let go of your old character and step into the greater.
The Judgement card often means that you need to make a transformational decision, but unlike those connected with the rational Justice card, this decision needs a combination of feeling and mind. You may be at a crossroads, conscious that any option you choose will bring an important change with long-term consequences. Trust your judgment and you are on the right path.
Judgment appers in a Tarot reading when you are close to attaining a significant step in your journey. You have learned from your past experiences. All the parts of the puzzle of your life are finally coming together to form one, combined picture of your story. This integration has fixed deep wounds.
The Judgement card hints that you may find support in sharing your struggles within a group environment. There could be other people who have encountered related experiences and who can show you the way to freedom from your problems. Let them help you, so you can grow together.
Reversed
Self-doubt, inner critic, ignoring the call
The Reversed Judgement requests for a time of contemplation. Through quiet contemplation, you may come to a deeper understanding of the common themes forming throughout your life and what you can do to not to experience these situations. You may have kept them a secret because you fear how the judgement of other people. To clear these regrets and guilt, work on your self-acceptance and freedom.
The Reversed Judgement often shows up when the Universe is trying to send you a message to call you to something more significant, but you’re not hearing. You are doing your best to pretend you didn’t get it and are moving on with your everyday life, believing it will go away. But the ‘call’ never just goes away; it just gets louder until you hear.
Sometimes, the Reversed Judgement symbolizes your inner critic is too loud and harsh. You may doubt yourself or think negatively. Hear it out and accept its fear. With concentrated discipline, you can break the cycle of over-analysis of yourself and replace it with positive thought patterns.

Playing small, lack of foresight, unexpected delays
The Reversed Three of Wands suggests that growth is possible for you, but you are choosing to play it safe. As a result, you are blocking yourself off from new possibilities by limiting your potential.
The Reversed Three of Wands shows that you have tried to start on your journey of individual development but did not fulfill your goals.
