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.
