Three of Pentacles

​

 

​

The Three of Pentacles is associated with careful planning and preparation towards your goals and aspirations. It indicates that you're on the right track, and if you continue to work diligently, you will create something superior that will be of practical value in the future.

 

The number three represents expansion and growth and the success that comes to us when we express ourselves with creativity.

 

When the Three of Pentacles appears, you may be in training or perfecting your skills in a project or career. You're at the beginning stages of mastering your craft or profession.

 

Help and guidance are at hand, but you must ask for it to progress forward. It could be a mentor, teacher or work colleague who offers support somehow. Teamwork is also indicated with this card. Watch and learn from others and listen to the advice provided, as their expertise will benefit you in the long run.

 

The foundations are being built, and with hard work and persistence, you will eventually reach your goals and become a skilled master, who will then be in a position to teach others.

 

It may be that you're learning a new skill or subject. On the other hand, it may indicate negotiations in business that contribute to your project, home improvements or other practical matters. Successful outcomes are indicated through skilled assistance and effective planning.

 

Most certainly, the hard work and effort that has already been put into this plan or project will add value and profit. Rewards can be expected, maybe through promotion, an increase in finances, or simply by recognition or praise and approval from others.

Reversed

 

​

The warning with this card is to make sure everyone is playing fair and on the same team. Someone may be causing blocks or delaying progress in some way. Obstacles may be getting in the way, and you may feel as though you’re getting nowhere.

 

If this is the case, re-assess your plans and see where adjustments or amendments can be made. If the people around you aren't cooperative with what you're trying to achieve, then find the right people who are more suited.

 

Do your research, and don't be afraid to ask around for help and advice. Don't let fear take hold either as, you will never get off the starting block. The right associates will appear when you keep a positive attitude and maintain a healthy work ethic. Don't be afraid to be bold!
