What is The Heart of the Matter Tarot?
This 3-card spread goes straight to the essence of a situation. While many readings look at the past or future, The Heart of the Matter Tarot is about the present moment. It reveals the root of the problem, what is visible on the surface, and what truly deserves your attention right now.
Why Choose This Spread?
Life often feels confusing because we focus on details instead of the core issue. This spread strips away the noise. It shows you:
- The hidden root of the matter.
- The way the situation looks from outside.
- The real focus you need in order to move forward.
Unlike the Past/Present/Future spread, which highlights progression over time, this reading offers instant clarity about where you stand today.
The Three Positions of The Heart of the Matter Tarot
- The Root – the underlying cause or foundation of the situation.
- The Surface – what appears on the outside, how others might see it.
- What Matters Most – the key focus or priority to address right now.
