The Lord of Works is about concentrated effort in a specific area, which yields unexpected fruits as a reward. When we concentrate our energies and direct them skilfully at a single point, or hoped for end result, we create a stream of force to which most things must eventually surrender. The 3 of Disks should be taken as a command to examine all areas of life, until we come across the apparently immovable object – then lean on it with all our might. In so doing, we take advantage of influences beyond ourselves which act as a lever to assist us in our endeavours. Often, the things which we need to focus on during periods like this will be ones where we feel negative, or thwarted, for we stand a much better chance of making good progress. Look for areas where you feel overwhelmed, overworked or inadequate, and then target them all day! You’ll be amazed at what it’s possible to achieve.

This card can also show a need for planning and preparation. Now is not the time to rush into something or begin a project with only a vague idea of what it’s about. You need to think everything through, go over all the possibilities and make sure you work out the details. Do your homework, and your undertaking will flourish. Another feature of this card is competence – the ability to get the job done. How rare this is nowadays! This card tells you that you have the skills and knowledge you need. You can attract capable people and create a successful environment. Know that the situation is (or will be) in good hands, but be sure to concentrate on excellence in your work. Be proud of what you do and how you do it. Then you will accomplish your “impossible” mission.

Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: Gladys was born in Lancashire, England on 28 May 1882. Her parents tried to keep death a secret but at the age of eight a maid informed her that a family friend had died and been buried. This awareness shocked Gladys deeply but it also prompted visions of a happy valley with radiantly happy people. On one occasion when her father was with her she talked about another vision she was seeing on the wall.

Reversed Cards: We can look at the Three of Pentacles in the protection aspect a couple of ways. First off, it really could be that right now you need to keep things under wraps. Sharing them, asking for input, or even gathering up people to assist you is just not the best idea right now. You will feel this more on an intuitive level than a logical one. The second is that you don’t trust those around you. Yep, you are a loner, you can look after yourself, and you don’t need anyone else sticking their nose into your business. For right now, perhaps that’s a really good thing, so just go with it.

Tarot Triumphs: When I first set eyes on the Tarot cards, they blazed a trail like a comet in my imagination. They hinted at another world beyond our normal senses, and I knew instinctively that the Tarot could lead me into this realm.

Reversed Cards: It is not surprising that a card that has the ability to bring light to the darkness is ruled by the sun. Yes, the Strength card is aligned to the noble and prideful sign of Leo and ruled by the burning nature of the sun, hence its ability to flare up when it becomes overwhelmed. Here in the retrograde aspect, the sun asks you to consider your life force energy. It wants you to think about how suffering or non-fortitude drains you and how strength or fortitude fills you up. When we carry around anger, resentment, shame, guilt, and hopelessness, we are constantly drained of energy, for we flare and burn out. It is like a cycle of constant exhaustion and overwhelm. Yet when we fill our minds and hearts with compassion, possibility, and love, we seem to have an untapped fountain of life force energy that allows us to get through any and all difficulties. If you have gotten this card in a reading, check the cards around it to see what clues you have to what could be draining your energy and your light. Then look for cards that show things that fill you up. Choose to start focusing on the cards that fill you up. This doesn’t mean you deny bad shit happens; it just means you choose to harness your energy for other resolutions, purposes, and stability instead. Because, just like the sun, you too have a copious amount of energy at your disposal. But you have to tap into it and stay tapped into it.
