This is a spread I learned when I took the Barnes & Noble University class on Tarot for the first time. It is a particularly useful one and has proved useful to me in so many situations. Have fun with this one... I use it again and again!

Card 1: You - You in the situation, the energies surrounding you.

Card 2: The Other - The other involved person, group or entity. The Other can be a person, your job, an organization you work with, or a group of people such as your family.

Card 3: What you need to know - The area you may need to focus on, what undercurrents are present, advice or guidance... The what you need to know card can manifest as so many different things.
