- Expansion, foresight
- An opportunity bigger than it first appears
In a reading: don’t underestimate the opportunity in front of you — the real reward is further out than it looks.
The real story of the Three of Wands is that he’s looking out at water that’s golden in color, and at first it can look almost like a desert — like nothing could grow there. But when he looks closer, he sees the ships, and realizes there’s a huge opportunity in front of him.
I’ve seen this card come up when someone’s looking at an opportunity but not seeing its full potential. A job offer that isn’t perfect on its own but leads somewhere much bigger. The threes are stepping stones, and with the Three of Wands, the real opportunity is going on the adventure itself.
