Since I'm only using one deck, I need no further information, thank you.
For the past, the Devil. In Christian tradition, the source of all evil, but that's not the case in tarot. It's more like something's gone wrong. Something you didn't know and should have known or needed to know, or something you were focusing on to the exclusion of more important things, or a situation in which you felt trapped.
For the present, the Eight of Pentacles. The image is an artist at work; one presumes from the card's standard associations that the artist is mastering a new technique. Whatever you're working on now, it's something that needs your best effort; if you're not working on anything in particular, it's a good time to learn something new. In either case, don't let the details slip.
For the future, the Five of Pentacles. Real cheerful card, this; one figure is elderly, the other leaning on a crutch, and both wearing patched clothes and crying. In front of a church, in the snow. In short, this card is for hard times, which I hope you will not experience, but preparing for them never hurts.
Two of your three cards are Pentacles, which suggests a need to focus on practical matters. Not to cut out creativity, emotions, intellectual pursuits, or the grand drama of life, of course, but perhaps you need more attention on your day-to-day.
