Three of Wands
This week we have the Three of Wands in our Tarot Reading Blog post. This moves us right along in the same suit as we saw in last weeks card… the suit of Wands. In the Ace, it was a call to wake up and start fresh with new ideas coming from a spirit (and literally from Spirit, or intuition if you prefer to call it that) of enthusiasm and drive which provided us with a new sense of passion for life. Then, presuming we all took that spark, idea or energy and advanced it further (which would have brought us to the Two of Wands), we then made a plan or blueprint (mentally or actually wrote it down) of what we want to do with that idea, spark or energy. That brings us to this weeks card… the Three of Wands.
With the Three of Wands, you begin to look for or search out opportunities that will actually move your ideas and plans further towards its creation. You look around from where you are now and begin to see that there are opportunities that you hadn’t even considered before that could advance you/your idea or plan further. And perhaps, something outside of where you currently are now comes to your attention that you wouldn’t even had considered earlier. It’s possible that you are being nudged by the Universe to step outside your comfort zone and look for, take notice of or accept something totally new and outside of your box of 8 crayons, as my husband is known to say! (He says there are only 8 colors in his box of crayons (symbolizing he thinks Rationally in facts & statistics),while I have the BIG box of crayons which holds his 8 as well as every color in between and then some (meaning, I think in terms of infinite, which he at times he finds maddening! LOL) ). The Three of Wands is also about how we all start out as an individual, then we become a couple, and in the Three of Wands, we add to that by creating something totally new by expanding on the individual/original idea by creating a pregnancy, starting paper work to become a foster parent of a child or animal, applying for adoption, visiting an animal shelter or searching ads to adopt an animal to become a family. This can also mean we have an idea, we make a plan or blueprint of how we want it to turn out, then in the Three of Wands we look for opportunities or take action to implement our plan. In business, we had an idea, then we made a game plan on what it would look like and how we could get there, and then in the Three of Wands, we look for opportunities to advance our idea and plan and we implement that plan. We also find support or sponsorship or an advisor to help us advance and succeed. This could come in the form of spiritual, physical, emotional, financial, legal or the advice of someone whom has succeeded in doing what you are trying to do now…. someone who has been there, done that and can support and help you get there too. They know the steps to take to get you where you want to go. But you have to be aware, since this advisor or backer is already where you want to be, they can unintentionally act like ‘The Boss’, was not in the plans in the first place, so be sure you stay in control of your ‘baby’. The Three of Wands can also suggest that your idea may have included the thought that you would like to travel overseas. Or that to find the kind of success you are looking for, it may be necessary to look or go overseas or look outside your usual box or comfort zone to find or accept an opportunity that may lead to the success you want… even if just the thought of it makes you uneasy or afraid. You may need to face your fears and doubts head on in order to succeed or create the life you want to be living. Here there is also a time of gestation, of waiting to see what our efforts will produce, but we can continue to accept opportunities or create even more growth while we “wait for our ships to come in” so to speak. The theme is: we are in the process of creation or creating what we desire. So this week, look around for opportunities to create your ideas and plans. You had an idea or spark, then you made a plan or blueprint of your idea, and now you are being asked to set out to create it. It’s all about creation and creating what you want in your life. Don’t be afraid to go out and get it!!!
