#TarotTuesday – 3 of Pentacles

Welcome to another Tarot Tuesday!

If you are just joining me, let me explain the inspiration to begin these posts. In Texas, and all across the country, Taco Tuesday is a popular day when Tacos are usually 99 cents. So, I had the inspiration, or Angel nudge as I like to think of it, to create a Tarot Tuesday. Each Tuesday I will post a different Tarot card and give its meaning. I pray and ask for the right card that will bring a universal message.

I created a short video to demonstrate how I pull the card for the posts. If you’re interested, here’s a LINK.

Today’s card is the Three of Pentacles.

The Keywords for this card are: Teamwork, collaboration, learning, and implementation.

The stonemason couldn’t build the cathedral without the help of the architects, and they couldn’t build it without him. Each person has an important role to play, and when they come together as a team, they can create something much more significant than if they were to undertake the project on their own. So, when the Three of Pentacles turns up in a Tarot reading, take it as a sign to collaborate with others, creating synergies to achieve big results.

The Three of Pentacles represents the value of different ideas and levels of experience in collaboration. The architects respect the specialized knowledge of the stonemason, and the stonemason appreciates the wisdom and experience of the architects. Even though their backgrounds, experience levels and expertise are very different, they can come together to share their insight in a way that creates synergy and improves the finished product. There is no ‘us and them’ or any sense of superiority. Instead, each person has something to offer and is willing to learn from the others involved in the project. Everyone is getting the job done collectively and contributes to the group through active listening and sharing. As you work on projects with others, acknowledge the value that each person brings to the table. You will also learn from each member of the team when you see his or her unique contribution.

The Three of Pentacles, like the Threes in the other suits, marks the initial stages of implementation that follow the Ace‘s idea phase and the planning step of the Two. You know what you want to create; you’ve laid out the plans, gathered your resources (money, people and time), and set to work – you may have already reached your first significant milestone. Of course, you are nowhere near the finish line just yet, but you have got the ball rolling and are making things happen.

As you implement your plans, you will realize that you have the skills, capabilities and resources you need to accomplish your objectives. See the Three of Pentacles as an encouragement that you are on the right track. You are competent at what you do, and you are making progress. Keep going! Adequate preparation, management and organization are also integral components of the Three of Pentacles. Achieving significant goals, such as building a grand cathedral, requires detailed planning. This card, therefore, tells you to create a comprehensive plan and to follow a schedule. Now is when good project management will pay off.

Oh my goodness! I swear you cannot make this stuff up. This card is 100% on the mark for me right now. Not only am I embarking on a partnership with a publisher, but also am getting going with a critique group. I love how the Universe knows the exact message we need each week. Let me hear from you!

Thank you for joining me! See you next Tuesday for another inspiring message from the Universe via the Tarot Cards!

As always, I use the Rider-Waite Radiance deck and BiddyTarot.com for interpretations.

  2. Jan, this is amazing and I can see how it fits perfectly for you. I do feel that I’m a teammate of Taylor’s and maybe that’s how it fits me. But then, critique partners are so crucial for me too. I know I couldn’t do this without you reading and critiquing my books. You just have such a good eye. Love you, Sister.

    1. The card was perfect for me right now. Yes, you are Taylor’s teammate. I do hope your critique group comes back together again at some point. I love reading your chapters and giving my feedback. It works the same way for me. Your feedback on my writing is invaluable! Thank you so much for stopping by today. I love you!

  3. Thank you very much for your reading 🌺 🌺 🌺 I had to had a ‘holiday’ yesterday (just sleeping and healing myself). That’s why I comment late.

  4. An interesting card about teamwork, Jan. Not something I am good at, I am afraid. As the only creative in my division at work, I struggle to pass my visions onto groups and generally end up working on my own.

    1. And that’s okay. When I think of you and teamwork, Robbie, I think of you and your children making delightful baked goods that are to die for! 🙂 Thank you for stopping by.

  5. Perfect card for now! Not only do I have three books at different stages right now, but I’m also researching different companies to install solar panels on my house. So, I’ve got several projects going on, and none of them can be done by myself. Lol!

    1. Teamwork all the way, Yvette! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. My daughter and son-in-law have solar panels on their home and they love it. They went with Tesla panels. Best wishes on all your projects!

      1. Thank you for the input! I’ve interviewed six different companies and each one is saying something slightly different, so I’m trying to figure it all out. Lol!

  6. This card resonates with me as well, Jan! I’ve begun restructuring my method of transferring my thoughts into the written word. I was recently gifted some wonderful insights into why I’d reached a stumbling block in my writing. I’m so very grateful to those generous people who freely shared their wisdom with me. United we stand, my friend.

    1. How wonderful, Soooz. I’d say that means we can expect more awesome stories coming from you. 🙂 Thank you so much for leaving a comment today! Hugs!

  7. I’m so glad the card means something in your life, Jan. I have invited to join a new group so maybe it means something in mine as well.

    We do need each other and need to work together. A card the world needs!

  10. Threes are powerful. At least, they are in my life. I love how this is so in sync with what you have going on in your life right now.

    1. Threes are very powerful, Staci, in everyone’s lives. To me, it represents the Trinity and a complete triangle of energy. I love using the power of threes in writing. Sometimes it can really ramp up the emotion. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment! Have a GREAT day!

  11. I’m also working with a new team, Jan, on an anthology project. Interesting timing!

    Your post reminds me of a discussion my husband an I often have. He has always been the practical one, very good with constructing things, but not creative vision. I’m the idealist and dreamer who can envision, but not build. I always say the world needs both builders and dreamers, for where would one be without the other?

    1. Oh, ,that is so true, Mae! We do need everyone’s special talents to make it all work. How exciting to be working on an anthology project with others. Yep! That definitely fits this card. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment today! Hugs!

  12. Another great reading. It just goes to show we need one another to get things done. Working like a fine tuned watch with everyone always makes things so much better.
    Have a great day. Love you.

    1. Well-said, Tonya. Yes! We do need one another. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment! You have a great day, too! Much love!
