What is the significance of the first card of the Major Arcana which is drawn for the 3 card spread of the Eternal Tarot? I understand that the Major Arcana card that is indicated by the summation of the 3 cards is the predictive element but what about the very first card that we draw? The intuition I had when I did the reading was that the first card has to do with some sort of representation of the situation as it currently stands.

Thank you.
