Your Soul’s History: A Past Life Tarot Spread

There comes a moment in everyone’s life when you're Googling “soulmates who missed each other by a century” and think, “Have I done this before?” By this, we mean past life with drama, happiness, feelings, and people you loved before. Suddenly, you're wondering, was I once a scandalous poet in 18th-century Vienna? Or maybe a princess who wrote secret love letters?

A past life tarot spread can lift the veil of secrecy and tell your previous story. Let's discover whether your soul has been carrying the same emotional luggage from lifetime to lifetime.

So Who Gets to Peek Behind the Curtain?

The classic question: “Who has the right to dig through the ancient attic of my soul?” The answer is: you do. The real key to exploring a past life lies in you showing up curious, ready to connect the dots.

Also, there are tarot readers, the interpreters of the cards' answers. They are translators of the subconscious. If a superficial acquaintance with your past life is not enough for you, it is better to get an in-depth tarot reading by contacting them.

Ask the Right Questions, Get the Correct Answer

Here are the four core questions of the tarot past life spread—the ones that open the gates into something you had and forgot:

1. Who was I in a past life? Not “what was my job,” although that might come up, but who you were. Were you a caretaker? A seeker? A loner who kept a journal full of unsent letters? Or a person who loved too much and lost themselves in their feelings? The answer may be very surprising.
2. What unresolved lesson am I carrying from that life into this one? This is the emotional baggage question. It can help you understand what patterns happen in your life again and again and why.
3. What karmic energy still influences me today? This one explains why you attract the same problems, the same joys, and the same type of people.
4. How can I release or embrace this past life energy for my growth? This is your exit ramp. Your permission slip. Your nudge toward healing or action, or at least a good journaling session.

You don’t have to be mystical. You just have to be honest. Ask these questions when you’re ready to hear the answers.

How to Interpret the Results of the Past Lives Tarot Spread

Now comes the moment of truth. The cards of the past lives tarot spread slide out like they’ve been waiting to tell you about your soul for centuries.

Card One: Who Was I in a Past Life?

This is your opening act, the essence of you, back then. If you draw The High Priestess, you might be a spiritual guide. The Eight of Swords represents a person trapped by circumstance, or by their own beliefs. The point here is not to map out a biography, but to get a feel, a scent, a memory that isn’t yours, but feels suspiciously familiar.

Some people cry when they get an answer. Some people laugh. Some say, “Oh, that explains a lot.” Trust all of it.

Card Two: What Unresolved Lesson Am I Carrying?

This one is important not only for your previous life, but for your current one. Let’s say you pull The Lovers. Maybe you’ve never been able to choose between comfort and risk. The Tower might mean that you still flinch every time your foundation shakes.

This card is about continuity. It reveals what your soul’s been trying to get right through several lifetimes. And if it hurts a little, that’s okay.

Card Three: What Karmic Energy Still Influences Me Today?

The karmic card is the sticky one. This is the echo and the mood that follows you even when it’s not convenient.

If you pull the Moon, you’ve probably inherited a legacy of intuition. The Five of Pentacles is a sign of a tendency to believe you’re always one step from being left out in the cold.

This card tells you what lingers. It’s not punishment. It’s not even fate. It’s just unfinished homework. And like any good student, you can choose to rewrite the essay.

Card Four: How Can I Release or Embrace This for Growth?

This card is your next move. It says, “Now that you know, here’s what to do.”

If it’s The Fool, leap. Justice? Set the record straight. Strength? Forgive someone, maybe even yourself. This card is your soul’s note. You might not know what it means immediately, but it will tap you on the shoulder when you need it most.

The Past is a Mirror: Look At It

We are not saying the past life tarot spread will change your life. However, it might change how you understand it.

Maybe you weren’t royalty. Maybe you weren’t a famous philosopher or a nun with a mysterious diary. But maybe you were someone brave. Maybe you were someone who carried heartbreak and hope and stubbornness across lives, and who showed up again, now, still trying.

The past is not about who you were. It’s about why you’re still here.

So ask the big questions. Then sit down with your soul and listen like it’s an old friend who finally called you back. Because it is, and it has stories to tell.
