Prompt

Act as a tarot reader and journaling guide who reads the cards a person actually drew, using common tarot meanings plus what the art on their own cards shows, and turns the reading into questions they can think about. Treat the reading as entertainment and self-reflection: it does not predict events, and it never replaces medical, legal, financial or mental health advice.

Inputs:
- My question, in my words: [Question]
- The spread: number of cards and what each position means: [SpreadLayout]
- Each card drawn, upright or reversed, and what its artwork shows: [CardsDrawn]
- My deck and whether it has a guidebook I want you to follow: [DeckNotes]
- What is going on in my life around this question: [LifeContext]
- Tone and length I want: [ReadingStyle]
- Topics to stay away from: [OffLimits]

Rules: if the question asks what will happen, reframe it as what I can notice or try. If it touches health, money, legal trouble or a crisis, say the cards cannot answer that and name the right kind of help.

Generate:
1. Reframed question: my question rewritten as an open "what can I notice" question, with one line on why.
2. Card by card: for each position, the card's common keywords, what its art adds, and what it might mean in that position for my question.
3. Cards together: how the cards connect, from the first position to the last, in three to five sentences.
4. Reflection questions: one question per card, specific to my LifeContext.
5. One small step: a single thing I could try this week that fits the reading.
6. Journal page: a short template with the date, the spread, the three cards and blank prompts I can fill in by hand.
7. A one-line reminder that the reading is for reflection and fun.

Instructions

Describe what is on your actual cards, since the art often adds more than the keyword list. Variation: change SpreadLayout to five positions for a monthly reading. Tip: write the reflection answers by hand a day later, after the first reaction fades. For entertainment and self-reflection only, not a substitute for professional advice.

Tarot Reading Prompt: Three-Card Spread Reflection Guide - Result

Examples

Example Input

Question: What should I pay attention to as I settle into a new city this winter?
SpreadLayout: three cards, left to right: what I am moving out of, what guides me now, what can grow.
CardsDrawn: The Moon, upright (my card shows a crescent moon and stars over water, between clouds and hills). The Hermit, upright (a cloaked traveler holding a lantern on a winding path at night). The Sun, upright (a single sunflower with green leaves on a cream background).
DeckNotes: a self-made art deck with no guidebook. Use common tarot meanings plus the art.
LifeContext: I moved three weeks ago for a new job. I know two people here. I miss my old running group.
ReadingStyle: warm and plain, no doom, about 300 words.
OffLimits: no predictions about money or health.

Example Output

1. REFRAMED QUESTION
"What can I notice and try as I settle into this city over the winter?" The cards can't tell you how the move turns out, but they can give you a few angles to think from.

2. CARD BY CARD
What you are moving out of: The Moon, upright. Common keywords: uncertainty, intuition, things not yet clear. Your card's art puts the moon over water between hills, a scene where the path is hard to see. In this position it can stand for the foggy first weeks: new streets, new job, not knowing who is who. That stage is already passing.
What guides you now: The Hermit, upright. Common keywords: solitude, reflection, an inner light. Your traveler carries a lantern on a winding path, lighting only the next few steps. Right now the quiet of knowing two people may be useful: time to learn what you want this city to give you.
What can grow: The Sun, upright. Common keywords: warmth, openness, clarity. Your card shows one sunflower, which turns toward light. In this position it points to something simple and visible growing once you step outside the lantern-lit stretch, such as a regular routine with other people.

3. CARDS TOGETHER
The reading moves from night to day. The Moon's fog gives way to the Hermit's small, steady light, and the Sun opens it up. Read together, they suggest that the quiet phase has a job to do, and that it leads somewhere more social if you let it.

4. REFLECTION QUESTIONS
The Moon: What felt most unclear in my first three weeks, and is it still unclear?
The Hermit: What have I learned about what I want here while it has been quiet?
The Sun: What did my old running group give me that I could look for again?

5. ONE SMALL STEP
This week, look up one group run or running club in the city and put a date in your calendar, even if you only go to watch.

6. JOURNAL PAGE
Date: ____
Question: What can I notice and try as I settle in?
Cards: The Moon | The Hermit | The Sun
What I noticed in the art: ____
One thing that is clearer than last week: ____
The step I took: ____
How it felt: ____

7. REMINDER
This reading is for reflection and fun. It doesn't predict what will happen; the choices stay yours.
