Three of Pentacles
Three of Pentacles
The Three of Pentacles depicts a mason working in a cathedral. Two monks (or a monk and a nun) hold drawings for him and they appear to be discussing the progress of the building project.
The Three of Pentacles, like the Threes in the other suits, represents the initial completion of a goal or plan. In this case, the Three seems to imply the fulfilment and manifestation of a creative venture, business, or building project. The inspiration of the one is beginning to be concreted in the material world, and the decisions of the two have been made successfully. An initial satisfaction is now being enjoyed and the project is well underway.However, the Three does not indicate the final completion of any project or venture but rather just the beginning. The number Three signifies the first manifestation of a creative union, the "coniunctio oppositorum" of which Carl Jung spoke. Just as a child is born to the union of two lovers, the creative idea is finally born when the conflicting desires of the heart are in equilibrium and when fear of failure is balanced with enthusiasm for potential success.
The message of the Three of Pentacles, therefore, is primarily one of encouragement. If you continue to work toward the fulfilment of your dreams and do not allow disillusionment to dampen your enthusiasm, ultimately you will experience prosperity and success in your goals. What new beginnings are you experiencing in the material realm? Is there some project or creative venture you have been putting off because of fear of failure? The Three of Pentacles indicates that dreams can be made real with persistence, determination, and effort.
Teamwork, planning and competence. The Three of Pentacles is one of the cards in the Tarot that focuses on the group. As Pentacles are grounded and practical, this card represents a task-oriented team - people who are working cooperatively toward a common goal. There are few jobs that can be accomplished alone. We need the help of others to achieve our goals. Be more productive by working with others. You don't have to do it all by yourself. Strive for planning and preparation. Now is not the time to rush into something or begin a project with only a vague idea of what it's about. You need to think everything through, go over all the possibilities and make sure you work out the details. Do your homework, and your undertaking will flourish. You have the skills and knowledge you need. Now attract capable people and create a successful environment. Be sure to concentrate on excellence in your work. Be proud of what you do and how you do it. Then you will accomplish your mission today, however difficult it may seem.
Work. You need to do work that is satisfying to you. Think of your work as tending your garden. You may need help. It may be beneficial to share your work with a partner, but only if they are as conscientious as you. In the TV show Mission Impossible, a crack team of specialists is always given a dangerous assignment. The team has to map out a strategy, coordinate resources and draw on their skills and ingenuity to complete the mission.
Skill. Work with others. Satisfaction. Practicality. Clear on priorities and commitments. Make most of talents, increase success through continuation of craft or educational pursuit. Promotion or increase. Use of skills to make profit. High achievement. Rising above friends and opponents equally. Being a subject of envy. Perhaps a move of house. Intellectual property. Practical work, done consciously and with commitment may serve as the vehicle for self-development. Plans. The Three of pentacles has all the skill necessary to accomplish your goals in life. You will have the ability to succeed in all your ventures. Want to get things accomplished and to improve the quality of your life or your work. You will have to revamp, redirect or make some alteration in your current work or plans.
