Past, Present, Future
The three card spread everybody starts with, and the one most readers come back to. One card for what brought you here, one for where you are, one for where it is heading.
When to use it
When you want a picture of a situation rather than an answer to a question. It is the default for a reason: three cards is enough to show a direction and few enough to actually think about.
