When to use this spread
The general-purpose spread. Best when you have one clear question and no specific angle you need to isolate.
Why this spread
Three cards are the minimum that can hold cause and consequence: what sits at the center, where it may develop, and what there is to learn from it. The spread does not force you to pick an angle in advance, which makes it the right choice when the question is clear but the way into it is not.
What sets it apart
Unlike Past · Present · Future, the axis here is the situation itself and the lesson within it, not time.
