Future Tarot Meanings: Three of Wands

The meaning of the Three of Wands Tarot card is that it symbolizes teamwork and opportunity. Your lucky break may be a number of things, such as a chance at a relationship with someone you have had your eye on. However, it is typical for the Three of Wands to symbolize work or business opportunities.

Many Wands cards deal with work, business, and creativity: the Three of Wands is no different. The Three of Wands is a card of trade and commerce. Trade will happen not just locally but on an international scale. You could be shipping your products off to far-away lands. Alternatively, you could find yourself traveling overseas for business.

The Three of Wands advises that you look towards unfamiliar terrain for opportunities. Do not go with the same-old-same-old that you are used to. Look towards places and cultures you have never experienced before. You may find a hidden gem.

Many readers struggle to separate the Three and Two of Wands because they can both predict a need for cooperation. Although they are similar, the Three of Wands advises you to work in teams (whereas the Two of Wand’s meaning is about a partnership, usually among only two people, no more than three).  

Team-work makes the dreams work, and this is true when the Three of Wands makes an appearance. You could find yourself having to work on relationships – even ones which are a pain in the ass - to complete what you set out to achieve. Therefore, although the Three of Wands is usually a positive card, it can be negative if you have to work with people you do not like.

Sometimes, the Three of Wands can mean that you and your partner work well as a team. However, be careful that everything doesn’t become too stale and routine. Spice things up a bit.
