The Three of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Three of Pentacles is a very symbolic card representing a coming together or a union that is both beneficial and necessary.

At this time you are bound to others and their fate is tied in with yours. It is important to be willing to work together, combine your resources, and work with others to complete a job if you want it to be done right. Three has always been a magic number of sorts. Like the Holy Trinity it is often a spiritual representation of forces that are similar yet different coming together and working as a completed whole. If you take one aspect away from the whole then the task at hand will be done poorly and will lack the purpose that was intended.

Often this card comes up regarding uneasy unions or having to work together with ones that you don’t especially want to be associated with. It can indicate needing to compromise or needing to plan. When you see the Three of Pentacles it’s good to recognize that HOW you get there is just as important on WHAT you are getting to. Do not allow petty details to pull your off track and avoid anyone, including yourself, of stealing the spotlight. It’s highly important at this time to realize that the task at hand needs each person involved and that those involved on seeking a solution to the problem have their place in the resolution. Through cooperation, satisfaction is nearly guaranteed.

The Three of Pentacles in Love

At times the Three of Pentacles can represent a love triangle of sorts. There is usually someone or something waiting in the wings of your relationship and a need for counsel or advice. It can be difficult to allow someone into your relationship as two people often form a silent pact of their own. In love, sometimes it is necessary when seeking growth and development. Often this card will advise seeking wise counsel and can even indicate needing therapy or a third party being involved somehow that is related such as is the case of a blended family. You need to remember that just because you are in a relationship does not mean that it is you two against the world. A healthy relationship offers flexibility to include others during certain circumstances. Often this card will show jealousy or indicate a problem in a relationship because people are not open to others being around. Be mindful of the boundaries you are creating your relationship. Understand that just because your partner turns to someone else that it doesn’t mean that you are being replaced.

Depending on the cards surrounding this in a reading can give a good clue as to the deeper meaning of the card especially in love. Other occasions the card will have a completely different meaning and refer to coming together in a relationship than being pulled apart. Especially positive cards with this card, aside from the obvious Lovers card, is the Ten of Cups, Knight of Cups, or Two of Cups because the cooperation in your relationship is resulting in growth, marriage, or taking the next step in the relationship. When paired with other positive love cards it can reflect effective teamwork in the relationship, healthy boundaries, and positive growth.

For those seeking love and that have no partner, the Three of Pentacles can be a very positive card, albeit a confusing one. With this card present in a reading, it can show new relationships forming but having multiple options for love. Inevitably it will give way to having to make a choice or commitment later down the line. When this card is present it is best to be choosy and not to jump into anything too quickly.

The Three of Pentacles in Health

Often the Three of Pentacles will indicate working with others regarding health. From a doctor to massage therapist, to dentist or counselor even… the key is cooperation and teamwork to get any health issues on track. The card is not exceptionally telling regarding any illness and gives no cause for worry or concern about anything specific. Rather, it simply states that any concerns you have right now should be acted upon. It can also indicate a great time to revamp the way in which you are taking care of yourself by including others. There are likely aspects of health that you have been negligent on as the card indicates a heavy dose of Earthy energy. Perhaps consider working out with a friend or joining a gym or being involved with a team sport.

The Three of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

Now is a bad time to be taking risks and chances or going on a limb on your own. The ultimate key to the Three of Pentacles is working together and it’s a commonplace notion regarding both work and finance that there is some sort of teamwork. It is rare that one person can strike it rich completely on their own when hard work and determination is concerned. This is not a card of gambling, it’s a card of finding the right team to get the job done. Ponder areas in which you are a professional or expert and offer your services. Seek assistance from others that have their own skill sets to increase your financial base.

Regarding work specifically it is a great time to get ahead by including others. Show your boss that you shine and that you aren’t a glory hog by offering others due credit for a presentation or project well done. Allow for everyone in the team to offer their own expertise in order to ensure success for all.

The Three of Pentacles As Advice

The three of Pentacles is a great card for advice, and this can mean that you may be with a new project soon. The lady on the card is a ballerina, she is a master of what she does. But, there are the statues here that are also on the card that represents teamwork with others. It can mean that you might find that you work happily but people might nag you. The advice here is to create your own place where you can be yourself.

Reversed Meaning -Three of Pentacles

The Three of Pentacles card is a disturbing card in the reversed position because it can trump a lot of negative qualities: selfishness, opposition, lack of cooperation, lack of focus, and failure to name a few. When this card comes up in a reading it can be a definite warning to go back to the basics, rework the initial plan of a project, and make sure that you have all the required parts to complete a task. Consider ways in which growth and development is blocked because you just don’t have the skills. It’s always okay to ask for help and now would be an excellent time.

Whenever this card is present in the reversed position it is time to take a good hard look at where you are at in your life and decides what needs to be done to get on the correct path. As is often with the pentacles cards the focus usually needs to be internally and pointed at what YOU can do to change the situation at hand. Seek ways to utilize your talents for your own benefit or even to help others. Figure out healthy outlets for excess energy as well as positive ways to motivate you into action. Now is a time to find balance between your worth and ability in order to find success.

The Lovers Tarot Card Meaning

Seeing the Lovers in your reading is a favorable sign.

Often interpreted as romantic love referring to marriage or sexuality, it is also much more than this. The card being present represents the hand of the divine reaching down and blessing you in your life at this time. Now is a time of fruitful change and one in which you are encouraged to act. Changes that come up in your life at this time are usually for the better and bring with them good fortune, harmony, and a time of peace in your life.

The Lovers card represents love and affection at it’s highest point. The two figures on the card offer themselves naked to the higher being in the sky often referred to as God. Thy symbolism of growth and sexuality in the card leads the viewer to understand that the love that the card is depicting is not first love or the beginning stages of love. It is more pronounced and mature and often references marriage between the two on the card.

The Lovers card is one of the cards in the tarot that greatly depends on the other cards surrounding it. It’s important to view the location and the placement of the card in order for the true meaning for you personally to be understood. If drawn in a one card reading – like in the case that you are looking for inspiration for your day or wondering what energies are around you right now then it is truly a great card. It says that your day is going to be one of attention and uncharacteristically positive. Today is a good day to make choices, take risks, and be carefree. If in a more complex reading the Lovers card also heralds good news regarding communication and personal values. If you are seeking the answer to a specific dilemma rest assured that you are in the right and that you can trust your own opinions to be received in a positive light.

The Lovers in Love

The Lovers card is a grand card indicating relationship bonds and the affection of those around you. Often it will denote that you are in or headed towards a lasting relationship worth developing and committing to. Other areas of life are affected by this card as well. It confirms positive inclinations of the heart by telling you that you can trust the path you are on should continue moving forward. If you are looking for love and the Lovers card appears congratulations! This is a favorable omen about a relationship beginning. Most of the time the Lovers card appears when a relationship will be starting with someone that you already know and are already close or intimate with. It can indicate that a friend is actually interested in something more or that a lover is looking for a more serious arrangement.

In a relationship reading if you see the Lovers card combined with the Tower, the Magician or the Devil card it tells you that you must be wary in a relationship – usually love or close friendship – and that something is being hidden from you. With these combinations but the Devil card specifically in your reading, it is always best to seek a further explanation by asking for clarification from the deck and drawing another random card. This is because the Devil card and the Love card are actually closely related to card mythology. When you see these two together it can indicate an unhealthy obsession or unrequited love that should be avoided.

The Lovers As Feelings

This is a card which means the person you have asked about feels that you are his soul mate. The lovers is about that special person that you connect with. This is about passionate nights together, but also it is about choice. The choice to be together on a psychic level and also about how two people can be for each other. When the lovers appear as feelings it is about being full of emotion and that you both will be together in the end. I like to think of this as Romo and Juliet in terms of that love connection. This is about wanting sex with you, wanting love with you and just wanting you all around. The star sign with this card is Gemini which makes me feel there is a balance here, the history of the lovers card is about “love” in my view. That deep sensual love and lust that we feel in the beginning of a relationship. 

The Lovers Tarot Card Yes or No

The Lovers tarot card for “Yes or No” readings is about the connection between love and hate, in my experience. Reading tarot for 30 years I believe it is not as clear as you might think when it comes to yes or no. I know that seems a bit sharp. In my view, this card is a reminder that sometimes we can block off or ghost at the drop of a hat, but if we love ourselves enough to take a step back and just wonder why has this happened. This card in love yes or no is a “Maybe” as it is a choice card, just like the seven of cups in my view. The lover's tarot card acts as a "moral reminder" of how important it is to be kind, show compassion and be understanding - even when it isn't easy. Learning to trust your intuition and act with integrity will get you the results you desire in any situation, especially when it comes to matters of the heart - so remember to listen to what your heart tells you.

The Lovers As Action/Advice

The Lovers card tells us to choose love and move forward with our own decisions, no matter how weird or crazy they might be. It calls for a complete bridge of two souls merging together in real strength across the rainbow. To use this connection wisely is to think positively, act lovingly, and do what your heart tells you is right. For love radiates not only as an emotion but through our actions too: Love itself can be seen like a verb or power we direct towards ourselves and others alike!

The Lovers As Past

When I see the lover's tarot card in the past position, I personally see this as bridging our hearts and souls together as one. I love this when it pops up in the past position. This can be past love or marriage partners. In the past, if you pull the lovers then I believe the union has already taken place. I do feel this is a great card for love in the future if you are single and the past has not treated you too well.

The lover's card in the past reminds me very much of Adam and Eve, in that there has been this amazing connection between you both - you are here because there has been a Union between two people - who are in LOVE. If you are currently alone or on your own and you draw the Lovers for the past it can mean that an everlasting love has entered your life. 

I also believe that we have Temptations no matter what happens in our lives: temptations of how we go about a love affair or temptations to end a situation that we don't feel serves us anymore. so, I do feel that this card equals that love is likely to flourish and the fact that it appeared in your past means that love has happened between you and somebody else. I'm also going to say that nobody's actually perfect in life we all have our ups and downs. few are looking at finding out if somebody still wants to be with you and you draw the Lovers for the past.

The Lovers Tarot Card As Reconciliation

Standing together in my card the two lovers can get over any storm. The message if you are asking for love reconciliation from this tarot card is that love will happen again. Previously, the man and women were married by the Hierophant on the fools journey. Whenever I draw this card in my readings, I believe that love wins though all the rubbish that life throws at us. The lovers is about choice as I have said before but also decision. If this card pops up in a reversal for reconciliation then it is probably a no I am afraid. 

The Lovers As A Person

It can mean that a person is thinking of you allot, and as this card is ruled by Venus then this could be connected to a Taurus. There is a focus on following your heart if this comes up as a person. I do think there should be some level here of giving a choice in love. And, I believe this is a good card if you want marriage from this person so this is the choice of marrying someone or not. The card is also deemed related to Gemini - so to me, this is about the fact that this person can be up and down about you. Sometimes you in there minds and at times you don’t. To me, this is all about crazy or things that will pass, and good decisions will be needed going forward in this relationship. 

The Lovers in Health

The Lovers isn’t a common card for health readings, but if it does come up it is usually less about your personal health and more a reassurance that you have support at this time. Other times in health readings the Lovers card will indicate a health problem with a body part that has two parts to it – kidneys, lungs, arms, eyes and there being an issue with both. The Lovers is also indicative of all things revolving around the heart, metaphysically speaking. It will appear in times of grief or loss, but usually as a hopeful card showing that things will be better. When dealing with a loss.

The Lovers Work and Wealth

Attraction isn’t always between two people. The Lovers card represents attraction in finances and money as well. Think of the ‘Law of Attraction’ and apply it to your work or financial situation. Now is a good time for you to branch out and make something happen for yourself. If you have been thinking about a job change then now is the time to do it. When dealing with a delicate work or financial time, rest assured that there is assistance coming your way that is going to lighten your load. The Lovers card can also refer to the coming together of forces, such as in a business proposition, starting a company, or even when seeking a loan. It is an excellent time for you to be seeking out these opportunities.

Reversed Lovers in a reading

Even in the reversed position the Lovers card still represents attraction, coming together, and completion. However, when turned flip-side the coming together that the card speaks of is for all of the wrong reasons. In a relationship setting it refers to people being sexual but not connecting in other areas or can represent a marriage that is lacking substance. The two are not seeing eye to eye to eye concerning long-term goals. The reversed Lovers also gives an air of materialism, making rash monetary decisions, and being irresponsible in other areas of your life. Consider focusing on avenues that make you feel whole rather than those that merely make you joyous.
