Three of Wands Tarot Card Description

Wands are a lively energetic card, and the numerological value of three is all about communication. So when the Three of Wands appears in your spread, you can expect some worthwhile conversations. Three is also a number associated with fun, so a good time spent with agreeable company is likely.

Upright Meaning

An exciting adventure is on the horizon, and your journey could take you to places you never imagined existing. In this case, the excitement is almost certainly of the pleasing variety, and unlikely to be shocking or unpleasant, although it could be a bit of a surprise. To make the most of your adventure, you need to consider where you are now and where you want to end up. Furthermore, don’t let the excitement of the moment make you leap recklessly into the dark. Your trip will be much less stressful if you check that you are properly prepared, although this is not an excuse to dither, hesitate and let the moment pass either. As part of your plans, the Three of Wands asks you to take a companion with you, obviously this could literally mean a fellow traveller or it could mean that you invite someone else to share a business venture, or come with you to enrol on a course. It may also be that you will not meet an individual who will share in your enterprise, but that you are called to work for the greater good of others in a more general sense. Remember that all the gifts which are being offered to you now could turn into a burden if you act solely for your own personal gain. If your road has been rocky recently, your own foresight can save you from further stumbles and you will be able to move forward on a surer footing.

Reversed Meaning

You are so busy looking into the future horizon that you risk falling over the obstacles that lay at your feet. Try to spend at least a few hours in the here and now occasionally. If you don’t act quickly, you could miss a golden opportunity, so get on the case - now. A venture that has started well could begin to flounder, a clash of personalities may be the root cause; you need to sort this out before things become critical. If some kind soul is offering you help, don’t stubbornly turn them down, they can help you to solve your problems. Are you being totally unrealistic about your situation? It is great to be ambitious, but your plans might just be too grandiose to stand a chance of success.
