Three of Wands Tarot Card Combinations and Meanings
Suit Element:
Fire, male active energy Keywords and Phrases: Initial success, early goals realised. Three of Wands Tarot Card Meanings The Three of Wands brings good progress where early goals have now been realised, the duality of the Two creates the third force of energy now made manifest. For some, this card suggests the involvement of others, whereas I use the Two to indicate business partnership, but the Three of Wands can represent commercial interests. Although the Three is a good card it is still quite a low number and it generally brings a smaller level of success, but still, “great oaks from little acorns grow.” Plans start to form a growing impetus with this card and the first steps of success create the enthusiasm and excitement to build upon further goals for the future; a card of enterprise and forward planning. If reversed or ill-dignified, similar to the Two, it can indicate hindrances or difficulty manifesting your goals, problems with trading agreements.
