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 Sun Tarot Card Meaning

The Sun is the most positive oracle in the deck.

In the Rider Waite deck the symbolism of the card is easily interpreted as the sun shines over a new baby and aptly named “sun”flowers in the background. The infant, along with the flowers growing, indicates new life and in readings and often represents a new direction. Children being born, questions of prosperity are answered, abundance of wealth, and recovery from illness are all implied by this card. As the infant rides atop the white stallion, he carries a red banner. The deck is famous for using color as symbolism and red often symbolizes power, momentum, and triumph. This card represents the universe coming together and agreeing with your path and aiding forward movement into something greater.

Think of the Sun as a representation of power without dominance. Rather, it is a power that allows you to be free. Essentially there is a win-win situation present in which all parties involved will get what they need. It is also an indication of liberation, freedom, and being at peace with your spirituality. Of course, depending on the position of the card in the reading as well as the type of reading itself, it can indicate success in different avenues. However, overall it is a prosperous card indicative of making the right choice and being able to be satisfied that you're on the path in one way or another.

In a reading, often this card is seen after dark times, when an a hidden opportunity is coming to light, or when clarity is needed. It can also be represented as having a new freedom to choose such as when it is time to take the next step in a relationship or job. It is not an overall “happy card”. It’s much more than that because the sun is rising on a brand new day, new life abounds, and momentum begins. The key here is to see what has been holding you back, standing in your way, or causing difficulties with progression and realizing that there is a way out and hope.

The Sun Card in Love

In relationship readings, the Sun does not guarantee happiness, but liberation. While it can state that the relationship is in a healthy place and headed on a positive path… more often it refers to everything being revealed. If there are aspects hidden on your part or with your partner these things will be come to light. In a situation, for example, where one individual is cheating or holding something significant back it can seem like a devastating card brining anger, loss, or jealousy.

A relationship with aspects hidden is by and large an unhealthy relationship. The presence of the Sun card is usually the universe’s way of telling you that you need to make a choice and provides you with all of the information to do so. Also, when the Sun card pops up in a relationship or love reading it acts as a reminder that you have the power and the strength of the universe backing you in making a choice of what direction to take in the relationship. Rest assured, it is certainly not a card to cause concern in the love department when you look at the grand scheme of things. Because even if you are asking about your current relationship and find that things are hidden or will not be working out - you can rest assured that there is s a beginning to a new relationship or even entering into a new stage of your current relationship on the horizon. The Sun promises new beginnings.

The Sun Card in Health

For those going through illness or preparing for surgery, the Sun is a positive indicator of vitality and recovery. The importance of this card in health and wellness is attributed to the growth factors and shows an emphasis in improvement of health and increased stamina. The energy of the Sun enables a healthy mind and body in healing as well thriving after illness.

The Sun Card in Work and Wealth

If you are seeking answers regarding your career or money, you will find the good omen for you. It will indicate monetary gain and growth. Health and wealth are often represented similarly in the tarot and with the Rider Waite deck it is no different. This card brings with it sound business practices and a boost of luck as well. It can indicate that it is a good time to take small risks with money or jobs such as gambling or seeking a change in your career.

Reversed Meaning - The Sun

In the reversed position this card, like most other major arcana cards, it has a direct opposite meaning. It will represent feeling trapped, unable to see a way out of a situation, or having an unclear path. The key to this card in the reversed position understands that you are often the one that is creating the difficulty and that the oppression you're under is one of your own making. Often accepting responsibility for actions, making clear or final decisions, and allowing yourself to be open to new possibilities is all that is needed to find your way. Essentially, it shows that the Sun card is present in your reading, but you are not recognizing it’s force working in your life at present.
