3 Card Tarot Reading

The Queen and counterpart for the King of Wands represents for you a time of sensitivity and awareness, of self-discovery and passion of spirit as well as the awakening of who you are on a deep, internal level.

When you receive this card there is an extenuating and developing love of home as well as an intense appreciation of nature. You have a magnetic personality that attracts those to you who also have a desire to be connected to nature and have a fiery desire to create an exceptional life. She represents introspectiveness in conjunction with passionate desire. She is funny, caring, and dedicated. She is a nurse who provides spiritual aid and a doctor to our souls.

The Queen of Wands represented in the Rider Waite deck is depicted by a crowned queen who sits on her throne holding a staff strongly in her right hand. She appears, of course, as a very regal character, with an air about her that at first glance exemplifies a nurturing and passionate energy. In her left hand you will find a sunflower indicating that her energy controls all nature bring abundance and satisfaction. All around her are, similar to that of the King, lions symbolizing a connection to the lower forces and an animal nature and accompanying her in the card is a black cat. The black cat in this card represents the more sinister, albeit necessary aspects of Venus. Venus influences the fire and passion of this Queen, but she is in full control and balanced with these differing energies. You must use the example that the queen has set for you, and connect with your own perception of the elements all around you. Specifically focus on connecting the element of fire, evoked from the South. When this energy is surrounding you, there will be an intensity that accompanies every move that you make. You must allow yourself this freedom of expression and creativity for if you do, you will accomplish much during this transit.

If you have chosen this card as your representative, this card usually refers to someone who has blond hair with blue or hazel eyes. If you have received this card in the placement of an individual person, then you can expect that the key focus of the reading is either going to be a person who has come into your life recently or who will come into you’re your life shortly. You will recognize this person by their dynamic and inspiring qualities. Usually this person is a female who is very nurturing and energetic, playing a matron-like role in your life.

If this card is representing you, then the Queen acknowledges that you are the type of person who others go to for advice. Because they are comfortable in doing so reflects on your nurturing nature. Others come to you for help because they KNOW that you will have the right thing to say that will help them organize their thoughts.

When the Queen of Wands blesses your reading, she is letting you know that there is no point in accepting or producing lies or deceit. There is no value in it. There is also no reason to get stuck in a cycle of overly controlling or dominating either yourself or others. She offers the advice to let go of the need to be in control, doing so will increase your well-being in multiple ways. If you allow yourself to let go, and let others help you; first you are being assisted which means that you can actually spend some time relaxing and second: Everyone needs to feel like they are putting some work into the relationship. It is good for all involved. ‘Let Go and Let God,’ as the saying goes. This is the message the Queen bestows upon you.

The Queen of Wands is asking you now to allow your physical senses to help you get in tuned with your natural perception and intuition. For example, you have a very strong connection to your mental and spiritual guides at this time. See if you can practice exercising your awareness to their presence physically. What does the message of coming opportunity ‘feel’ like? What about a potential danger? Can you sense when something is about to happen? You may have an intuition to turn another direction or you may receive a physical poke or a mental jab that makes you very aware that you need to listen to spiritual advice. The more that you practice listening, the stronger your intuition and the physical connection thereof will be. Be patient and practice generosity and then recognize negativity as being what it is: Not worth your time.

The Queen of Wands in Love

When the Queen of Wands visits your love reading, she is blessing your life with a tremendous level of fiery joy. The entire universe appears to be protected from harm at this point which means that now is the time to either actively pursue that man or woman that you have been interested in for a long time, or to allow yourself to participate in some childlike joy with your current partner. If you are not in a relationship and are not seeking one, this is the card that teaches you to love yourself more and more fully appreciate what you have to offer to world. Creativity is extremely important at this point in your life. You are buzzing with desire and now you must project that energy outward for the world to see. Consider your personal power and behave spontaneously for your own good. You already radiate from within, now you just need to believe that for yourself. Spread that love to others.

The Queen of Wands in Health

The Queen of Wands in Health represents a new surge of healing will come to you. She is representative of a whole body, spiritual, mental and physical healing. You will find yourself feeling more balanced than you usually do and you are encouraged to use this momentum to begin some new form of activity that will strengthen your cardiovascular system. This activity must be fun and interesting for you because nothing will last if it is not engaging your creative energies. Keep this in mind. If you have been concerned that you are not going to heal from an injury or a disease, the Queen speaks directly to you and says: You are going to be just fine.

Reversed Meaning - Queen of Wands

There are those in your life now that can be manipulative or controlling. You have too many people demanding of your time. This is counter what the Queen wants for you. You need to release these excess responsibilities to allow creative freedom to reign. Be reasonable with those that depend on you, and allow them to let go of their dependence on you or you will reach your limit emotionally and mentally. Now is the time to demonstrate to the Universe that you believe in yourself and in the abilities of others to handle themselves like responsible adults, without you.

The Three of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

In my view, this card represents a coming together or a union that is both beneficial and necessary. I always see this card as teamwork. Often this card comes up in readings regarding 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. It is also not uncommon for me to find this relates to 3 issues or 3 people in life.

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.

When you see the Three of Pentacles it’s good to recognize how you get to your goal. I always say, when this card is drawn to 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 in my readings. 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.
