Reversed Cards: Have you ever been told you’re too big for your britches or that you think you’re all that and a bag of chips? If not, then there is a good chance you are not an American. I had never heard these sayings either until I moved to the States, but they do evoke the best image of the shadow aspect of the Three of Pentacles, which is someone who truly thinks they are bigger and better than anyone else around. Here in the shadow aspect of this card, there is a good chance you have let your ego get the better of you. You may think no one else has anything to offer you or that others are incapable of living up to your expectations, but there just does not seem to be any real hard evidence to support this fact. The only thing that this sort of behavior will get you is isolation. Pretty soon no one will want to employ you, seek your counsel, or consider your input valuable.
