Tarot: Threes

In these third of ten articles focusing on the Ace through Ten Cards, Michelle Crandell reviews four Threes.

By Michelle Crandell
In Tarot, threes represent initial completion, creative growth, synthesis, or a sequence with a beginning, middle, and end. Often seen as a magical or sacred number, many religions have meaningful sets of threes: father-son-holy ghost; virgin-mother-crone; man-woman-child. Three corresponds with the Empress, signifying fertility and creativity.

THREE OF SWORDS: This three indicates sorrow in the mind: the reworking of old wounds. Negative thoughts about the self, others, and the world cause heartache. The seeker may experience difficulty sharing a loved one with another person or an activity.

THREE OF CUPS: Play and love as well as work. Happiness and joy come from positive social events with friends and family or doing something you love with others.

THREE OF WANDS: Alignment of mind, body, and spirit leads to success in business and creative ventures. Walk through the “open doors,” opportunities or ideas that are free of obstacles.

THREE OF PENTACLES: Your hard work pays off. You know how to practice time management based on “important, urgent, and sequential.” As a result, your job, finances, or home management improve. Working smarter not harder is the lesson learned.
