Finance, Money Matters Or Debt:

As with an upright meaning, The reversed Three of Wands can indicate that things will shortly be looking up for you financially. However, this increase will definitely be tied to collaboration and cooperation with others. Don’t try to do it all on your own. If you have financial questions, find a good advisor.

Card Meanings: Holding On To The Past, Lack Of Progress/ Adventure/Growth, Arrogance, Moving Home, Failure, Self-Doubt, Carelessness, Restriction, Mistakes, Returning Travels, Lack Of Confidence, Pride, Disappointed With Choices/Outcome, Haunted By The Past, Frustration, Clipped Wings, Lack Of Foresight/ Planning, Failed Long Distance Relationship

It’s quite easy to mistake the meaning of a card named the Lord of Virtue. We can easily be misled into thinking that this means being dutiful and ‘doing the right thing’. However there is a much deeper level to this card than is immediately apparent. Virtue is about excellence – ethically and personally. It is about developing and maintaining high standards of behaviour, and then learning to have the confidence, self belief and strength of character to live out those standards through our every act. When we fall short of our expectations of ourselves, we retreat, disappointed and ashamed of ourselves. We can then take a long time to climb back up to the higher ground from which we can regard our own acts as part of the grand pattern of life. And, in the meantime, we continue to disappoint ourselves.

This is obviously not good for us, and neither is it good for life. So we need strategies to reduce the number of times we feel we let ourselves down, methods of forgiving ourselves when we do, and ways of recovering lost virtue as quickly as we can. This is where the 3 of Wands comes in. So, on a day ruled by him, make yourself a promise…..you will spend a little time moving back into the centre of yourself – do this by sitting quietly and gently drawing in breath, directing it to your heart centre and allowing it to fill you up with energy. When you have done that, spend a few more minutes thinking about your ethical standpoint. Ask yourself if you are out of alignment with yourself about anything. (Please avoid the trap of going “Absolutely EVERYTHING!!!!” This won’t help! Much better to work on one issue at a time, rather than allowing yourself to be overwhelmed.) If you find something you are unhappy about in your own behaviour, think the act, thought or feeling through without judging it. Work out why you have done/said/thought this thing. Go to the core of the problem, and do not blame anybody else. When you find the core reason, write it down on a piece of paper, tear the paper into several different pieces and throw them in the rubbish bin.

Since you have now rid yourself of the core problem, you now have no further need to act out that problem. So forgive yourself and do it differently.

Book Details
Angel Insights : First, pick out a stranger to pray for. This can be someone you see regularly, like the teller at your local bank, or someone you only glimpsed in passing, like a man on the street begging for money. Maybe you have an idea about what this person needs, like the homeless man on the corner. Or maybe you don’t have a clue about the desires of this stranger’s heart, like the bank teller.

Tarot Beginners Guide: The whole reading is concerning our prospective business venture. What does the three of wands tell us about this?

Reversed Cards: In Llewellyn’s Classic Tarot, the figure in the Five of Cups card seems to be peering into the river. What do you think they are looking at? The hooded figure has their back to us, making the scene a bit of a mystery. Perhaps this is exactly how others see you, as a bit of a mystery. There is a good chance that if you have this card in the mirror aspect, you are the unknown element, and that just like the two upright cups, no one is ever quite sure what to make of you and your emotional state of being.

Reversed Cards: In many respects, I find this aspect of upside-down cards to be very liberating. For if we see a card through the protection approach, it means the card has slowed us down or stopped us dead in our tracks for a reason. Think about how having cards in a protection aspect can actually be beneficial to your reading and your outcome. Think about how many times you have asked the question ‘How much longer?’ in a reading. This impatience is in all of us, yet getting to where we think we want to be in the shortest possible time is not always the best thing that could happen to us or those around us. With a card in the protection aspect, we get the opportunity to see what we would miss if we continued on our rush to the finish line path.
